Slavica

Hi, I am Slavica, welcome to my beautiful Dalmatia! I am a licensed tourist guide for the Split-Dalmatia County for the English language. I was born and live in Split, and I grew up in the town of Kaštela, which is located right between two UNESCO cities, Trogir and Split. I come from a traditional family of fishermen and farmers who have lived in Kaštela for almost 400 years. From my grandfather, an olive grower and winegrower, I listened from an early age stories about our turbulent past, cultural heritage, and interesting and brave people who opposed many attacks of various invaders and managed to maintain their way of life and values. After completing my classical education in Split, I spent some wonderful years in London where I attended media studies, then returned home, and until recently worked as a camerawoman and editor for the national news. 2019 came, and I decided to turn my career around. I decided to follow my dreams and try something new, so I earned a degree to be a tour guide, and thus combined my two passions into one: interpreting historical and cultural heritage, and "capturing" those special and happy moments on camera. Apart from history, art, and film, I adore good home-made food, which we have in abundance in this Mediterranean area, and I will be happy to share some secret recipes with you.
