– Sabina Mišmaš –
She is a full-time traveler, navigating the globe and traversing the vast landscape of life’s adventures and inner reflections. She’s an explorer who’s endlessly curious about the world, its people, and the mysteries of the human soul. She’s an adventurer, with the world, the soul, and the unknown as her playground, chasing stories and capturing moments that make life worth living—now traveling through life with her boys, creating a tapestry of memories that will last a lifetime.
I was born and raised in Slovenia, a land of breathtaking landscapes nestled between the Adriatic Sea and the majestic Alps. This small yet remarkable country was once part of the Yugoslavian Republic, where I spent the early years of my life before embarking on my unique journey. Throughout much of my adult life, my world revolved around teeth—particularly, the intricacies of dentistry. I dedicated a decade to learning, practising, and perfecting my craft, and while I cherished the artistic aspect of the work, my restless feet were anything but satisfied. Deep down, I knew something bigger awaited me, something that would ignite my soul.
In early 2011, chaos in my life reached a boiling point. I decided to take a leap of faith, trading my medical coat for a passport, and set off on an odyssey that would take me to over seventy countries and counting. I packed my bags, grabbed my trusty digital companion (and a few lenses), and hit the road. My camera became my passport, granting access to the world’s hidden beauty and the endless stories it holds.
When the urban chaos became too overwhelming, I retreated to the wilderness to reconnect with myself and the natural world. Here, I practised the art of long-exposure photography, capturing the serene beauty of nature in a way that felt almost meditative.
My journey took a dramatic turn as I transitioned into a full-time mum to two young sons. Although I may not be travelling as extensively, I am now exploring my neighbouring country, Croatia, with its everlasting coast. You see, adventures are far from over. Every day is a new chapter, filled with my boys’ laughter, curiosity, and boundless energy; it keeps me going. Together, we explore the world through their eyes, embarking on imaginative journeys in our everyday lives.
Today, in the peaceful moments after my boys have fallen asleep, I find myself sinking into a pool of quiet thoughts, seeking new ways to illuminate the depths of my mind. I am more in tune with my poetry and the vibrant colours around me. I realised that life is not just black and white, nor is it simply shades of grey—an entire spectrum of colours waits to be explored beneath the surface. Each hue tells a story, and each shade inspires a feeling. In this creative space, I embrace the complexities of existence with open arms.
I have learned that the essence of travel lies in the places we visit, the connections we make, and the experiences we share. I am a traveller at heart, navigating the joys and challenges of motherhood while cherishing the simple moments that make life extraordinary.
