About me

I am a passionate business psychologist and tourism entrepreneur with a deep love for creating meaningful experiences and fostering professional growth. With a background in business psychology and human resources, I specialize in understanding people, their motivations, and how to create engaging and impactful environments—whether in the workplace or in the travel industry.

As the founder of Blossom Tours, I have built a travel company that provides customized Balkan tours, incentive travel, and unique cultural experiences for international travelers. My expertise lies in business strategy, organizational development, and customer experience, ensuring that both travelers and partners receive the highest level of professionalism and service.

Why did you join the community?

I joined Travel Massive to connect with like-minded professionals in the travel industry, explore new business opportunities, and collaborate on innovative travel experiences. As the CEO of Blossom Tours, a DMC based in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I am passionate about promoting the Balkans as a unique and authentic travel destination. I look forward to networking, exchanging insights, and building partnerships that enhance the global travel experience.

What is your favorite travel destination?

One of my favorite travel destinations is the Balkans—a region rich in history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. From the Ottoman charm of Sarajevo to the Adriatic beauty of Dubrovnik, and the hidden gems of Montenegro and Albania, the Balkans offer an unforgettable mix of tradition, hospitality, and adventure. As someone passionate about curating unique travel experiences, I love discovering off-the-beaten-path destinations that showcase the true essence of a place.

Where do you dream of traveling to?

I dream of traveling to New York City. From the iconic Broadway shows to the museums of Manhattan and the dynamic pulse of neighborhoods like Brooklyn and SoHo, New York offers endless inspiration. As a huge fan of the TV show Friends, visiting NYC would be a dream come true! I’d love to see the famous Central Perk café spot, walk through the streets that inspired the show, and soak in the energy of the city that feels like a character itself.

What was your first travel job?

My first travel job was as a tour guide at Bobovac, a historic medieval royal town in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was an incredible experience that allowed me to share the rich history and cultural heritage of this fascinating site with visitors.
Guiding tours at Bobovac sparked my passion for the travel industry and deepened my appreciation for storytelling, cultural preservation, and connecting with people from around the world.

What do you want to learn more about?

I am always eager to learn more about innovative trends in the travel industry, digital marketing strategies, and sustainable tourism development. Beyond tourism, I have a strong passion for business psychology, particularly in areas like employee motivation, leadership development, and organizational culture. I believe understanding human behavior is key to providing exceptional service and building strong professional relationships.

Three words that describe why we should travel?

Culture. Connection. Growth.

Culture – Traveling allows us to experience different traditions, histories, and ways of life, broadening our understanding of the world.
Connection – It helps us build relationships with people from diverse backgrounds, fostering empathy and global unity.
Growth – Travel challenges us, inspires personal development, and creates unforgettable memories that shape who we are.
