Durmitor National Park in Montenegro is a dream destination for nature and adventure lovers! Picture endless mountain panoramas, crystal-clear glacial lakes and wild river valleys. The area is perfect for campers, with lots of little spots to stay that put you right in the middle of nature. The roads are often narrow – which only makes the experience more intense. Not for the faint-hearted!
One highlight is the Tara Canyon, one of the deepest canyons in Europe and an absolute must for rafting fans. The hiking trails are well marked and offer everything from easy walks to real mountain adventures. The cool mountain air and the remoteness really help you slow down.
Pack enough supplies and be ready for little adventures off the beaten track – pure nature is waiting for you here!

I parked the truck by a lake in the evening ... it was already dark, and I usually try to avoid looking for overnight spots in the dark.
This time there was no other way – and when I woke up in the morning, thick fog lay over the area and the lake. Of course I got up straight away to take photos.
Since I wanted to shoot a personal project for my portfolio, I drove to a motorcycle tour operator who also runs a house for digital nomads.
It was my first time in a place like that, and I loved seeing how people work and live together there. I slept in my truck, but cooked and talked with the other digital nomads from the USA, Venezuela, Italy and Ukraine.
Clementines grow on the trees – you can just pick them, and they taste fantastic.

I drove to the Bay of Kotor and visited the town of Kotor. What can I say ... it’s like Disneyland. A beautiful town with beautiful buildings, but 100% touristy. The buildings are perfectly restored, and all of it makes you feel like you’re standing in a Disneyland theme town. An example of how tourism destroys the beauty and uniqueness of places. I walked through town for an hour and a half and then moved on.
