There’s a special moment every time I welcome a new guest — whether it’s in the heart of Ljubljana, with its cobblestone streets and river reflections, or in the warmth of Montenegro, where the sea meets the mountains.
Both places shaped my life and inspired the story behind E&E Apartments.

A Beginning in Ljubljana

Ljubljana has something magical — a calmness that settles in as you walk along the Ljubljanica River or sip a morning coffee by the Central Market.
It’s where I hosted my very first guests and learned that hospitality is not only about offering a place to sleep — it’s about making someone feel at home.

From early check-ins to midnight messages, from helping someone plan their first visit to Bled to recommending a hidden local restaurant — these little moments became the heart of my work.

A Second Home in Montenegro

Years later, Montenegro entered my life. A different rhythm, a different energy.
The sunsets in Budva, the quiet charm of Podgorica, the mountains rising above Kotor — it all felt instantly familiar.

Hosting here taught me something new:
every traveler carries a different story, but every story needs a comfortable place to begin and end.

Why I Created E&E Apartments

I wanted travelers to feel the same sense of home that I felt in both countries.
To give them a safe, warm, and modern place to start their adventures — whether they’re exploring Ljubljana’s old town or chasing the sun along the Montenegrin coast.

Two Countries, One Purpose

Slovenia and Montenegro may be different worlds, but they share one truth: Travel brings people together.

And this Travel Journal is where I want to share those moments — stories, tips, reflections, and small inspirations from life between two beautiful places.
