If I need to describe myself in one sentence it would be: I am Elena the world citizen, in eternal love with the world, photography and yoga. But if you have time, now you can read the whole story. My name is Elena and I was born and raised in Skopje, the capital of Macedonia. In my life I had many opportunities to travel abroad and even lived for some time in few countries like Italy and Peru. My first long-term experience abroad was in Turin, Italy where I did my Master in Mediterranean trips, travel itineraries, communication and culture. In Turin for the first time I knew it what I want to do in my life: working in the field of the tourism. I love traveling, if I could travel during the whole year I would do it, but since it was impossible I needed to find a job that would allow me to stay in touch with people from different countries, and at the same time give me the same feeling like when I am travelling (sharing experiences, learning new things). I said to myself, if I cannot travel around the world, then the world can come to me. So I decided to take the license to become a tour guide and here I am, in the last few years my official job is a tourist guide. When I was living abroad I realized that I still don't know lot of things about my country, so after I came back home I decided to explore better Macedonia. I also started to write some articles on my travel blog about cities and places in my country that are still not so touristic. I was working few years on the tourist promotion between Macedonia and Italy and I always wanted to stay far from the mass tourism, I would love to promote the slow and alternative tourism. This is the main reason why I always want to work with small groups. But working with small groups also allows me to make you feel like meeting an old friend, with who you share experiences, ideas and having a really good time and unique experience in Macedonia. So if your next destination is Skopje and you want to do as the locals do, I am here to become your local guide. Master of Mediterranean trips, tours, communication and culture (University of Turin, Italy) International internship for young tourism and culture managers (Pordenone, Italy) Internship in MCL Biella promotion of Macedonian and Italian tourism (Biella, Italy) Tourist guide license (Association of Tourist guides of Macedonia) I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

The tour includes visit of Tetovo and Canyon Matka, a mix of culture and relaxation in beautiful nature, right outside of Skopje. Tetovo is nestled in a valley, surrounded by Shara Mountain, where the first Ski Center in Macedonia was founded back in the days. It's also home of the most delicious Macedonian apples and white beans. This old town is lined with jewelry shops, old-fashioned tailor shops and boutiques selling traditional clothes, which we will drive by. Our only stop in this town will be visiting the most famous colourful 15th-century mosque known as Sarena Dzamija. After visiting Tetovo, we will head to Matka, the canyon where Vrelo Cave is, is not only famous for the amazing and vivid landscape, but also for the diversity of butterflies that live there. Over a hundred "day type" and over hundreds of "night type" butterflies, make this hidden place even more spectacular to visit. To fully experience the beauty of the canyon, we will take a boat ride to Vrelo Cave.
