Hello, I’m Ivana—a Dubrovnik native, an English teacher and interpreter, and a licensed guide with a passion for early mornings in nature and quiet paths. My other interests are reading, swimming, learning languages, music and travelling. I'm a lifelong learner and traveler via Couchsurfing and Workaway. I have travelled extensively for over 20 years and have found more similarities than differences in people around the globe. My first guiding experiences were proudly introducing my couchsurfing guests to my hometown and taking them for hikes. Seeing its beauty again through my guests' eyes, I found that one can discover something new every day in their own garden! I also love exploring how people and nature connect— through the scents of rosemary, sage or lavender, chewing fresh carob or being delighted by the acrobatics of swifts and swallows. I'm a former night owl who, through fascination for nature, has discovered that a morning walk can also be a moving meditation, helping one start the day more grounded or content. I still relapse now and then, but only if there's dancing or a starry night involved. My tours reflect my belief that nature offers us space to restore and centre, and I like sharing it with others - the earlier, the better. This being a tour with a historical twist, yes there is the talking part, but silent walking breaks even it out nicely :-)

Overview of your Dubrovnik tour

Mini-hike towards Orsula along an ancient path and Mediterranean plants. Along the way, learn about trade, tribute (harač), diplomacy, and the delicate balance that allowed the Republic to survive for centuries. From the Orsula viewpoint, continue with stories about Epidaurum, Lokrum, and the maritime importance of Dubrovnik’s eastern approach. Descend towards Sveti Jakov and Gjivovići, where the atmosphere is quieter and more local, with hidden corners, coastal vegetation, and views towards Bete Cave and the city walls. Last part -walking down towards the coty beach, Lazareti and Ploče Gate, where you learn about Dubrovnik’s famous quarantine system, maritime trade, and the role of the Republic as a meeting point between East and West.
