One afternoon, steering toward Grebaje, everything slowed – the kind of stillness that sneaks up when you least expect it. Not far from Gusinje, really just a stretch down the road, yet the place unfolds like another century entirely. Grass spreads wide underfoot, sudden cliffs rise at every turn, while the breeze pulls sharply into … Read more
The first time I went to Tuzi, I didn’t expect much because most people talk about Podgorica, the coast, or the mountains. But Tuzi surprised me in the best way. It’s right next to the capital, yet it feels like its own world: calmer, more local, and with a strong Albanian spirit you notice immediately … Read more
Zastani sits about 10 km from the upper part of Vuthaj, up in the mountain area. In the 1990s, life here followed a rhythm that’s hard to imagine today. Many families would move up to the mountains in April and stay until October a full six months living with their animals, away from the village, … Read more
August 1st is the day when Vuthaj really comes alive. You feel it before you even reach the center more cars than usual, people stopping to greet each other, families arriving from everywhere.

Located in the north, tucked under the peaks of the Prokletije mountains, this town doesn’t try too hard to impress you it just does, naturally. Getting There: Don’t Overpay The journey … Read more
I’ve been to Budva enough times to know the pattern: you arrive thinking it’ll be “easy beach vacation,” and within an hour you’re sweating, surrounded by people, and wondering why the road isn’t moving. Budva is gorgeous but it’s also loud, busy, and a little chaotic in summer. If you go in with the right … Read more
The first time I went to Tivat, I understood immediately why people keep using it as an “easy entry” into Montenegro. It’s down south, it’s small, it feels calm compared to places like Budva and somehow it still has its own airport. Tivat isn’t a big city (it’s around 13,000 people), but in season it … Read more
