Hi from xxx?

In a week, I’ll be finishing my three-month-long adventure of working as a bellboy at one Croatian hotel, and I’ll be back on the road again.

This “being on the road” sounds slightly more exciting than “being homeless”, I guess.

Since June 2024, when my Zagreb rental apartment contract finished, and I realized that the Croatian flat market and my wallet don’t speak the same language (lost in transaction), I have mostly become a nomad, only renting a Harry-Potter-style cupboard under the stairs in my hometown‘s version of the Dursleys‘ house, for some of my belongings.

Since then, I have passed through 10 countries altogether, traveling and working on my laptop, or taking on a job that came with included accommodation, such as during the summer season that has just ended.

As I stand in front of another great unknown, I’m totally open to suggestions.

What I definitely imagine doing in the next period is sitting back behind my laptop and finishing many of the travel stories still waiting for the final delivery. Mapping extraordinary places, people, and passions might be my main focus until the end of the year. This means the content on Pipeaway‘s website and other media channels should become more frequent as well. Now, I only need to define the location. Any ideas?

As I look for my grand X, like pirates who forgot where the treasure was buried, I wish you creative clarity to pursue your most frequently postponed dreams and goals.

Have an X-traordinary week,

Ivan Kralj
