Description
Hello!
I'm Luka from Slovenia and last 4 years I have been slowly living in South and South-East Asia. Now for the first time I'm in East Asia:)
People describe me as peaceful, adventurous, warm, friendly, non-judgmental, supportive and active listener.
I live a life of a slow nomad; combining some digital work, some guiding, and some monastery staying.
In the last years I have been working as a digital nomad, but now I focus on travel guidance, meditation, and my own projects; guiding journeys, writing articles and books, coaching with mindfulness, and facilitating meditation courses.
I enjoy the most when I can support people in living their most fulfilled, joyful, free and authentic life. And after visiting over 40 countries, meditating for over a decade and living and talking with hundreds of beautiful souls I have many experiences and perspectives to share. And I'm always open to hear and learn from new perspectives. This is the treasure that we can all share with each other!
I love to connect with local communities and dive deep in understanding the local culture and mindsets. That's why I often stay with local families, friends, or couchsurfing.
I also have a strong connection with nature, mindfulness, meditation, yoga and living a healthy, active, simple and compassionate life that I fill with adventures and time spent out of comfort zone.
