From Banja Luka to Half the World: How Robert Dacešin’s Story Began
“If you survived Brazil, you’ll survive Chile.” That’s what they told me. And in Santiago, my bag, which contained my phone, was stolen almost instantly. I reported everything to the police, but they couldn’t do anything - they said around 300 phones disappear there every day. I asked them to file a report, and they asked for my passport. I handed it over, but they couldn’t find Bosnia and Herzegovina in their system. Botswana was there, as was Burkina Faso, but not Bosnia.
Havana: A City That Slowly Disarms You
In Havana, nothing begins abruptly. The city doesn’t hit you with a spectacle, doesn’t try to win you over at first glance. It gives you time. As if it knows you’ll stay a little longer than you planned anyway. You walk without a clear destination and realize that’s the only right way. Streets are not crossed, they are absorbed.
Where to Escape When Everyone Heads to the Sea
As lines of cars move toward the coast every summer, there is another side of travel that does not involve crowds, noise, or the struggle to find a spot on the beach. Instead, it offers silence, nature, and that rare feeling of having space all to yourself.
Ohrid: A Balkan Gem Between History and Nature
Ohrid is a city located in the southwestern part of North Macedonia, on the northeastern shore of Lake Ohrid. Ohrid and Lake Ohrid are among the country’s main tourist destinations. Due to its large number of churches, the city is often referred to as the “Balkan Jerusalem.”
Islands at the Edge of the World
In an era when even the most remote destinations are just a few clicks and connecting flights away, the idea of places that are truly isolated seems almost unreal. And yet, they exist. These are islands where almost no one lives. Places where the signal fades, crowds don’t exist, and daily life is measured by the rhythm of nature - not the clock.
Restaurants with the Most Beautiful Views in the World
There are restaurants you visit for the food. And there are those you visit for the feeling. The latter stay in your memory longer - because every dish comes with a view that lingers. From underwater worlds to mountain peaks and urban skylines, there are places across the planet where gastronomy gains an extra dimension. In them, the setting is not just a backdrop, but an equal part of the experience.
Milena and Nenad in Sri Lanka: From Ancient Cities to Ocean Waves
Five years of life in Asia - two in Bangladesh, two in the Philippines, and one in Sri Lanka - shaped the travel story of Milena and Nenad from Bijeljina, whose journey to the Far East began with Nenad’s job. For HEDONIST, they turned their impressions into a personal guide through countries that rarely become a traveler’s first choice, accompanied by photographs that best capture everyday life far from European habits.
Cities That Wake Up in Spring
There are cities that are beautiful at any time of the year. But there are also those that, by some unwritten rule, reveal their true charm in spring. That is when the streets come back to life, parks turn into green oases, and cafés on city squares gain that special energy that makes travels truly memorable.

How a New Map of Travel Is Emerging in the Heart of the Balkans
In an era of low-cost flights and endless social media recommendations, travel has become more accessible than ever - yet, at the same time, increasingly predictable. Destinations are often familiar before arrival, restaurants are already rated, and experiences are surprisingly similar, regardless of the city or country.
A Town Where Hospitality Tastes Like Wine
In a world constantly searching for new destinations, it is rare for a place to captivate travelers not through spectacle but through its emotional resonance. That is exactly what happened to Montepulciano, a small town nestled among the hills of southern Tuscany, which was recently named one of the most welcoming destinations in the world by the Booking.com platform.
Wild Horses - A Symbol of Freedom on Cincar Mountain
Cincar Mountain near the town of Livno may be one of the very few places in the world, alongside Mongolia and Iceland, where you can still see wild horses living in complete freedom, worthy of admiration. That freedom gives a certain grandeur to their presence and an untamed energy to their gallop.
Herceg Novi: A City of Festivals, Gastronomy, and Mediterranean Charm
Herceg Novi, a town at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor, blends history, nature, and Mediterranean charm. Its streets, fortresses, and promenades radiate tradition, while its vibrant festival spirit and rich culinary scene make it a destination worth visiting throughout the year.
An Experience That Transcends the Theme Park
Orlando, the third-largest city in Florida, is not a typical tourist destination. It has no historic old town, no monumental squares, nor the kind of urban charm typically associated with major American cities. Distances are vast, public transportation is limited, and almost all relevant points are scattered along wide boulevards and highways. Here, a car is not a luxury - it is a necessity.
A Saturday Morning in Ljubljana
Ljubljana is best understood in the morning. Not early - just early enough for the city to feel no need to prove itself. Saturday is ideal. No rush, no plan, just a slow movement toward the river.
Socotra: An Island That Doesn’t Belong to This World
There are places on this planet that do not ask to be seen, but to be understood. Socotra is one of them. An island that makes no effort to please, offers no postcards, and no ready-made stories. It stands alone in the Indian Ocean, like a geographical error - or perhaps a reminder that Earth still keeps a few secrets.
You See Less, Experience More: What Happens When You Stop Planning Your Vacation
There’s a moment on a trip when you realize that the plan is getting in your way more than it’s helping. You don’t know exactly when you’ll arrive, where you’ll sleep tomorrow, or what’s “next on the list.” And suddenly, you start to rest.
Berlin Through Jowita’s Lens: A City Revealed from the Top of Teufelsberg
Berlin is not a city you get to know all at once. It reveals itself slowly, layer by layer—through streets, neighborhoods, stories, and the people who live it. That is exactly the kind of Berlin Jowita presents every day. Through photographs and personal narratives on her popular Instagram page Berlinwanderlust, she captures the creative pulse of the German capital.
