Explore Slovenia and/or Croatia

Discover Slovenia like a local—with stories, places, and experiences that most tourists never see.

Traveling has always meant adventure to me—since childhood. I couldn’t wait for summer vacations in Croatia (always too short!), winter breaks in Slovenian ski resorts, and family visits in Austria and Germany. It’s no surprise I started exploring the world as soon as I could. I’ve visited over 20 countries and fell in love with a slower kind of travel—where I also work, stay longer, and truly get to know the locals and their culture.

But over the past few years, something shifted. My love for Slovenia grew deeper. Every time I left, I found myself talking endlessly about it—its beauty, its charm, its hidden corners. And here’s the paradox…I want everyone to experience Slovenia, but not in crowds that change its essence. Some places lose their magic when too many people visit—and not everyone treats them with care.

So I share stories and suggestions with a purpose: to inspire mindful travel and help you discover Slovenia the way I see it—genuinely, respectfully, and with heart.

On a journey with Sara you are no longer a tourist. You are and explorer... an adveturer! And she is amazing with kids, they absolutley love her. Thank you for all the beautiful memories, we are looking forward to our next trip with you.

Can't thank you enough for everything you did to welcome me and share Slovenia with me! The whole time was a really fantastic expirience... drinking the fresh mountain water, eating dandelion salad, cooking - unforgettable... truly some of the most cherished memories, such a wonderful time. Thank you!

Sara is an amazing guide. She took me hiking to the Logarska Dolina. We visited local farmhouses and cafes. The view is amazing and the people very hospitable and friendly. She also knows the best and most charming restaurants. I loved my stay with her.

Traveling with Sara was a joy! She did a wonderful job planning our route, highlithing many sites of interest and natural beauty. Sara and I hiked many waterfalls and streams, and she made sure to include some hidden gems that were very special. Her language capabilities ensured smooth transitions and helped bridge the gap to create a great expirience.

Small Country, Big Heart - S💚enia

Slovenia may be small, but it's incredibly beautiful and so diverse that everyone can find something to fall in love with. It’s one of the greenest countries in the world, with nearly 60% of its land covered by forest.

Pictures often speak louder than words—but even they can’t fully capture its charm.

People often ask me: "How much time do I need to discover Slovenia?"

And my answer is always the same: No matter how much time you take, it will never feel like enough.

There’s just something about this place that keeps pulling you back.

Although it's small, Slovenia is packed with hidden gems, unique experiences, and breathtaking landscapes. It’s impossible to see it all in one visit—so make the most of the time you have, and know that you’ll want to return.

And the food… oh, the food!

Slovenian cuisine is a true reflection of our landscapes—rich, diverse, and deeply connected to nature.

I absolutely love the way we eat here. There’s a strong awareness around healthy living, homegrown produce, and knowing where our food comes from. Many people grow their own vegetables, buy meat directly from farmers, and support local producers. It’s not just a lifestyle—it’s a privilege.

From fresh mountain cheeses to coastal seafood, forest-picked mushrooms to handmade štruklji—every region has its own delicious specialties. And sharing a homemade meal here isn’t just about eating, it’s about connection, tradition, and care.

Is This for You?
YES, if:

You want to discover Slovenia or Croatia with a local insider—someone who knows the secret spots, not just the tourist highlights 😉

You’re an adventurer at heart, always curious and open to new experiences

You value a personal, one-of-a-kind approach to travel, rather than one-size-fits-all tours

You’re looking for authentic moments, deep connections, and unforgettable memories

You love the idea of being both carefree and cared for—with someone who takes care of the details so you can truly enjoy the journey
I am a solo traveler / I have more then 4 people in my group, can we hire you anyway?
Of course, I am flexible and open for any suggestions, so feel free to send me an email to sara@ss-inspirations.com describing your situation and all the details, and I will get back to you with an offer as soon as I can.
What Makes This Trip Different?
This isn’t just a tour—it’s a personal journey.

The entire experience is tailored to you and your wishes. We’ll explore beautiful natural places—some well-known, others more hidden—but always with nature as our focus. We won’t just rush from one stop to another. Instead, we’ll stay present, curious, and open to whatever the day brings. While we’ll have a plan, we’ll also go with the flow—allowing space for spontaneous discoveries and meaningful moments. We’ll linger a little longer in places that speak to us. This isn’t about collecting facts or ticking boxes. It’s about feeling a place—letting it move you, inspire you, and reconnect you with yourself.
What Does It Look Like?
We’ll start with a Zoom call to get to know each other and plan your journey together. You’ll tell me where you’d like to go, what kind of places you want to see and experience, and when—and for how long—you’d like to travel. Based on that, I’ll help you shape the perfect trip and suggest unique experiences that match your interests.

I’ll also assist you in finding the right accommodation—places that feel good, align with your vibe, and fit your needs.

This is a fully personalised experience, created just for you.
Will You Pick Us Up?
Yes! I’ll pick you up and personally drive you throughout the trip. From the moment you arrive, you can relax and enjoy—no need to worry about transportation, directions, or logistics. Just sit back, take in the views, and let the adventure unfold.
Is accommodation included in the price?
No, accommodation is not included in the base price—but I’ll help you find and book the perfect place that fits your style and budget. I work with trusted local hosts and unique stays that truly add to your travel experience.
What About Meals? Are They Included in the Price?
Meals are not included in the price, and that’s for a good reason—it really depends on where we’ll travel and what kind of experiences we want to have.

Sometimes we’ll stop at local restaurants, other times we might grab a sandwich on the go or pick up groceries to prepare breakfast or dinner—especially if the accommodation doesn’t offer meals. It’s flexible and depends on the flow of the day.

But don’t worry—I’ll make sure we eat well. I’ll help choose good, healthy options, and of course, you’ll get to taste some traditional Slovenian dishes. Every region has its own specialties, and we’ll try at least a few of them along the way.
What if the weather is bad?
No worries—we’ll stay flexible. If the weather shifts, we’ll adjust the plan and still make the most out of the day, whether that means visiting indoor spots, relaxing in a cozy café and eating more;P, or simply slowing down and enjoying the moment.
Do I need to speak Slovenian or Croatian?
Not at all! I’ll be with you throughout the trip and help with communication. Most people speak at least some English in tourist areas, and I’ll handle anything else that comes up.
What’s Included in the Price?
The price covers:
- Me as your guide – available 24/7 throughout the entire trip
- Transportation – all travel during the trip
- Your personal paparazzi – I’ll capture special moments along the way so you can relax and just enjoy!
WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED?
- Accommodation
- Meals
- Entrance fees to attractions or parks
- Souvenirs and personal expenses
- Optional activities like boat rides, spa visits, etc.
But don’t worry—I’ll always let you know about any additional costs ahead of time. And of course, everything is optional. We’ll plan the trip around what you want to do, see, and experience.
Will I have internet access / phone signal?
Most places have good mobile and Wi-Fi coverage, but we might go off-grid in some natural areas. It’s actually part of the charm—to disconnect a little and reconnect with nature and yourself.
Who Is This Trip Not For?
This trip may not be the right fit for you if:
- You’re not interested in nature or spending time outdoors
- You prefer to stay mostly in cities, visiting museums, galleries, and historical buildings
- You’re looking for a highly structured itinerary packed with tourist landmarks and fast-paced sightseeing
While we might visit a charming town, a castle, or a cultural spot or two, the main focus of the trip is nature—beautiful landscapes, peaceful moments, waterfalls, caves, lakes, rivers, and meaningful experiences in the great outdoors.

If you love being outside, staying curious, going with the flow, and connecting with the natural world, then this trip is made for you.

Let’s make memories together. I’ll guide you through the days of soul-nourishing spots, capture your best angles, and open doors to the local magic—so all you have to do is live the moment.

Why Visit Croatia?

Croatia is famous for its breathtaking coastline, with countless stone beaches and crystal-clear waters. The Adriatic Sea here is dotted with over a thousand islands, many of them untouched and perfect for day trips, boat rides, or simply soaking in the beauty of the Mediterranean. As you travel further south, the landscape becomes even more dramatic—rugged cliffs, hidden coves, charming coastal towns, and a relaxed, sun-soaked atmosphere that’s hard to resist. The Dalmatian coast, in particular, is a dream for anyone who loves sea views, fresh seafood, and history blended with natural beauty. But Croatia isn't just about the sea. It also has some incredible national parks—like Plitvice Lakes with its turquoise waterfalls and wooden trails, or Krka National Park, where you can actually swim near the waterfalls. These are places I always recommend, especially if you want to mix nature with a bit of adventure and peace. Croatia offers the perfect balance: beaches, culture, nature, and those little moments that make travel truly memorable.
