Some journeys change you. Not because of the distance, but because of how they make you feel, see, and understand the world around you — and within. This summer’s adventure was one of those: a journey through two different worlds, both equally overwhelming in their beauty — the Dolomites and Croatia.

It all started with a simple wish: to get lost in the mountains and find silence in the light. To hike along dramatic ridgelines, to catch sharp reflections in alpine lakes, to photograph the flowers blooming at over 2000 meters, and to feel the rock, wind, and sunlight all in one frame. I left with a camera in hand, a drone in my backpack, and a deep thirst for nature — and came back with hundreds of images, stories, and moments worth sharing.
