“An unknown and different place feels like home.”

Marko Petrekovic, author

Thanks for visiting Some Nomad Stories! I am a Croatian traveler and seasonal ski instructor. I have dedicated my life to exploring the world. Not only because I love it, but also because I suffer from a permanent disease called “traveling addiction”. Since there’s no cure for it, the only thing I can do is keep feeding it. The initial symptoms of this addiction started to appear when I was 8 years old. It’s been growing ever since…

So far I have visited 140 countries on all 6 continents. I started this blog in 2020. My main traveling activities are hiking, freediving, getting street food, wandering around, and looking for things I haven’t seen before. For commuting, I usually rely on regular public transport.

In my journeys, other than having fun, I am hoping to gain a better understanding of sociology, demographics, economy, lifestyle, and human psychology in different parts of the world. I am particularly passionate about discovering things that are contradicting the media, and general beliefs.

This blog is not necessarily for travelers. Today, most people travel for taking selfies at tourist sites. I simply have nothing to offer to those kinds of travelers. Instead, this blog is for people that are interested in discovering what is going on in the world, whether they travel or not.
