I have to tell you something....
Hey Explorers, Lea here! I'm part of the Explorers team from Croatia, and I had the chance to spend an evening in this amazing little village near Split.
Croatia is a small country, but I never even knew this place existed before I joined the company and learned all about our Balkans trip. Thankfully, our team member Ana did know about this place, so it's been part of the itinerary for quite some time.
Anyway, this video shows just a few snippets, but the full atmosphere can only be experienced in person. The peacefulness, the smell of the local herbs, and the hosts, who radiate passion and kindness... They are truly in love with their history and local culture. 💙
Sometimes, even something as simple as tasting the real flavour of home-grown watermelon and tomatoes can bring tears to your eyes (yes, it happened... this village does that to people 🥲).
There's just something so special about connecting with the way of life and traditions of our ancestors, who lived in a very different world - slower, calmer and completely in tune with nature.
If you've been on our Balkans trip already, you probably know exactly what I'm talking about.
Oh, and needless to say... the taste and the crunch of soparnik are hard to beat.
It was practically impossible to pick just a handful of photos from this trip... there were just too many good ones! 🤩
And it happens every single time with this adventure.
Travelling from Budapest to Istanbul through Romania and Bulgaria, over 22 days, especially at this time of year, is just so beautiful.
You end up wanting to take a photo of everything!
Our Explorers had an amazing time with their guide, and we can't wait to hear all about their adventure once they're back home.
For now, we'll just leave you to enjoy these amazing shots. 🩵
They got to see a lot of Greece that they would never see on their own (their words, not ours!) 😍
This lovely group said they loved their guides, the food, walking through small villages, tasting the Blood of Hercules…
It was a bit of a different Greece experience, just the way we (and our Explorers) like it!
Yaay it's official!! MagRailers are becoming Explorers.🥳
Most people aren't sitting at home thinking, "You know what? I'd really like to go to Rwanda."
And that's probably why we've always got along so well. 😄
You've never been interested in doing what everyone else is doing.
You like the places that make your friends say, "Wait... where's that?"
So thank you for continuing to encourage us to dream up adventures that are a little different and less obvious.
We wouldn't have it any other way. 🌏
