For me, travel has always been more than moving from one place to another — it is how I grow closer to who I truly am.

I grew up traveling; it was part of our culture, a rhythm of life. Then the war came and stopped us.

When I moved to the U.S., I worked hard, I built, I created — but I soon realized something was missing. I could not truly grow without cultural experience. Every time I traveled to paint a mural, join an artist residency, or immerse myself in a new tradition, I uncovered another layer of myself. Travel became my teacher, my healer, and my mirror.

Along the way, my circle expanded. Many of my childhood and early 20s friends are now scattered across the world. So when we travel together, we won’t just be visitors. We’ll sit at tables with locals, share stories with artists, and learn rituals and traditions from real people — women who are my friends, my colleagues, my sisters in creativity.

And woven into every retreat will be my BOJITT Method workshops — the practice I developed in 2018 to help anyone, with or without artistic experience, visually communicate emotions through expressive and intuitive painting. These sessions, paired with sound baths or simply the music of nature and ocean waves, open a door back to yourself.

Now imagine that in different corners of the world — painting by the Adriatic Sea in Croatia, under the Sicilian sun, in the jungles of Bali, feeling the healing energy of Ibiza, or in the sacred silence of Montenegro’s rivers. Each place becomes part of the workshop, part of your healing, part of your story.

This is why I created Travel With an Artist. These journeys are for women who are not afraid to grow, to be curious, and to let themselves be changed. Every retreat is a chance to find yourself in a different culture — because that is how we discover more of who we are.

And as we journey, we will not only bond with each other, but with the women we meet along the way, creating a living sisterhood across cultures, generations, and geographies.

I can’t wait to share this with you. With all my love.
