Joined Atlas Obscura in 2020

A professional photojournalist, world traveler and eternal optimist who adores the soothing atmosphere of summer nights and the cultural scene in vibrant cities. I am a creative life enthusiast with a passion for photography and journalism. I am a traveler at heart and always enjoy searching for hidden gems wherever I go. I work as a freelancer for renowned Slovenian and international clients and run my own business. I adore the smell of blossoming cherry trees and the soothing atmosphere of summer nights. I enjoy colors, dancing barefoot and watching paper dragons soar through the sky. I live by the words "Be inspired. Be amused. Find magic in sparkling delicate details. Dance on the very edge of the world."
