Your Guides

---

The best people to immerse you in a destination are the ones who live there, which is why we feature local Adventure Guides on our trips. Here are a few that you might meet on this adventure.

Roman K.

After finishing his studies in Chinese language and culture, Roman spent three years exploring Asia before returning to his homeland of Slovenia. To keep the adventure alive, he became an outdoor guide over 10 years ago and enjoys discovering the hidden corners of Slovenia and nearby Croatia. Roman loves to combine his extensive outdoor experience with his passion for gourmet extravaganzas of Balkan cuisine. He is well known for his personal touch and good sense of humor.

Ziva L.

A lifelong traveler, Ziva immerses herself in local cultures, from cooking classes to vibrant markets. Her passions span hiking, skiing, cycling, yoga, and running. Summers find her surfing South American waves; winters, skiing Slovenia's Julian Alps. Having lived in Slovenia, Peru, Croatian islands, London, and Berlin, she’s full of incredible stories — and always ready to hit the dance floor to Latin beats.

Jernej R.

Curiosity has fueled Jernej’s lifelong love of outdoor adventure and travel. With a degree in sports science, he has hiked, skied, surfed, practiced yoga and martial arts, and lived around the world. He’s a thoughtful and easygoing companion on the trail, happy to share stories, local insights, or simply enjoy nature—and perhaps wind down the day with a few of his own songs on guitar under the open sky.

Triglav, the highest mountain in Slovenia.
