AN INTRO TO ME

Welcome to World Travel Connector!

I am Milijana, a traveler from Croatia and the person behind World Travel Connector.

Although I don’t prefer to talk about myself much, I believe it’s necessary to introduce myself here.

I am a solo independent female traveler who is curious about the world and has an insatiable thirst for self-growth.

I travel solo. But I am rarely ever alone. And, never lonely.
I meet local people and other fellow travelers on my travels who quite often become my new friends. Solo travel has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
I enjoy researching destinations, tailoring my travel itineraries, chasing my new journeys, and deeply reflecting on my travels.

Some of the most beautiful things about traveling are getting surprised by discovering new places you knew nothing about, meeting welcoming local people and learning about their lives, customs, and traditions, … and reminding yourself ‘what a tiny place you occupy in the world‘.

I prefer to leave room for exploration and spontaneous moments on my travels.
That’s why I prefer slow traveling. In my case, slow travel means traveling for a month in one country on average and then moving to a new country.
I usually travel for several months visiting several countries in a row. And when I notice that I need some more time for reflection, and even for a travel detox (yes, long-term traveling can be sensory and emotionally overwhelming!), I go back to my home base in Croatia.

Maybe you would like to know what’s my favorite place I’ve traveled to.
I must disappoint you, as there is no single place.
It’s impossible to compare deserts, volcanoes, lakes, and rivers … I seek magnificent landscapes and spectacular World Heritage sites.
I do visit tourist attractions. They are attractions for a good reason. But the welcoming and kind people I meet on my travels keep me longer in one place.

Here is a short selection of places that have captured my heart:

  • Angkor Wat and Angkor – an unrivaled architectural complex and archaeological site covering an impressive area of 400 km2.
  • Myanmar – for Burmese people, the kindest people I’ve ever met,
  • Tuscany – for the beautiful landscapes, art, and architecture,
  • Israel – for glorious Biblical places and amazing foods from Israel,
  • Thailand – for stunning sandy beaches, good food, and good-hearted people,
  • Venice – a matchless architectural masterpiece in a wonderful sea lagoon

WHY I BLOG

The “Why” Behind The Blog

I started this travel website as my creative outlet writing poems about my travels.

After some time I started getting zillion questions on practical travel tips in my inbox. So, I found out that people need them and that I can help with them too.
I decided to serve the readers of this website with all the knowledge and skills I have.
So, along with my travel poetry, you can find travel guides, travel itineraries, and travel tips on worldtravelconnector.com.

PS: This blog is also dedicated to my late brother Ante (Anthony), who was quadriplagic and who used ventilator for breathing most of his life. He was passionate about geography, travel, nature, history, and the greatest support of his sister’s travels. Ante is all-time favorite person of his beloved sister.

Dahni u mene, Duše Sveti, da moje misli budu svete!
Pokreni me, Duše Sveti, da moj posao bude posvećen!
Privuci moje srce da zavolim samo ono što je sveto!
Zaštiti me, Duše Sveti, da mogu uvijek biti svet.
Sv. Augustin
