The provider speaks: English

I’ve been working as an outdoor guide since 2020, but my love for nature began much earlier. I grew up with a father who took me on a different kind of trip every weekend. Discovering forests, rivers, and trails. That sparked a lifelong passion for the outdoors. I started cycling when I was just four years old, and that passion has only grown stronger over the years. Today, I’m happy to share that same passion with travelers by guiding hiking, mountain biking, and e-bike tours around Žabljak, across Montenegro, and throughout the Balkans. Over the years, I’ve led groups of all sizes. In addition to guiding bike tours, I also run my own bike shop, where I make sure every bicycle is in perfect condition. As a certified UCI bike mechanic and a member of Montenegro’s First Aid team, I ensure that every tour is safe and professionally managed all the way to the top. Whether it’s hiking, tackling a challenging bike ride, or setting up camp in the mountains, my goal is to help others truly experience and connect with nature, creating memories they’ll share for generations.
