We then head to our favorite hidden gems, including a kayak excursion on Skadarsko the biggest lake in the Balkans and in one of the five national parks in Montenegro.

Testimonials
About YOUR Traverse Host
Ivana Milicevic Kalic - Montenegro Trip Host
Ivana was born in Serbia, in the north where spaces are measured by sunrises and sunsets, and time by the lengths of shadows. The Milky Way is knee-deep, like spilled straw. You don’t have to climb, stars grow in the bush. It was an amazing childhood. For the last 17 years, Ivana has been living in Montenegro in a religiously mixed family and in a diametrically different relief – beautiful harsh mountains with hundreds of peaks above 2000 meters that call you to climb them. Ivana is also a mom of two boys with the same romantic gene they got from her. Ivana’s love for nature is fed through her work as a travel guide in the Balkan region. Her mission is to teach people about that passion we are born with and present our mixed history and roots. Ivana’s biggest pleasure is when clients leave us as friends and with a wish to explore more of the beautiful Balkans!
