Katja Pretnar
Growing up in a town with long tradition in tourism I always loved the company of foreigners and being exposed to different cultures and languages. Life took me abroad, exploring horizons, living in different countries, and working as a hiking & biking guide around the globe for many years, but returning back to my roots. I love nature, culture, people, and sport. Always looking for the secret corners to share it with others, chasing sunsets and sunrises on two wheels or foot, skiing fresh snow, foraging healthy herbs & flowers, and making bonfires by the rivers.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"Places: Slovenia, Croatia - Istria an Dalmatian coast. Activities: active & luxury vacations, walking & hiking, mountaineering, adventure vacations and more. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"Curiosity. Coming from a small country I was always amazed by how big our planet is and how diverse its people are. I loved getting lost in the big cities, meeting locals, tasting new food and looking at the world from the top of the mountain. My first solo trip was two weeks to Italy with a train where I met lots of people traveling several months and immediately knew that this is something I want to experience as well."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Wind in Patagonia. One have to feel it, it is hard to explain. "
