Meet Besim: A Life of Travel and Learning

How do you get around?:

I travel a lot by airplane, especially between countries. Most weekends, I am somewhere other than Croatia. When I am in Dubrovnik, I use a car to travel between work, running errands and home. As a Croatian citizen, I can travel easily within Europe because of the European Union, which is a group of countries that work together like a team. It allows people to move between countries easily, almost like traveling between states in the United States. In the past, this was much more difficult.

What types of clothing do you like to wear?:

I like to keep things simple and comfortable. You will usually find me wearing T-shirts and sneakers.

What do you like to do in your free time?:

Though I have limited free time, when I have some, I make sure to make the most of it. I love watching soccer and have been going to major tournaments, like the World Cup, since 1998 with my friends and family to cheer for Croatia. I also enjoy hiking, going on long walks and finding hidden food spots that are not crowded with tourists.

What language(s) do you speak? How do you say "Hello" in your language?:

I speak Croatian, English and Albanian fluently, and I know a little Italian and German, too. In Croatian, you can say hello by saying “Bok.”

Do you have pets?:

No, I travel too much to take care of pets. Even my plants do not survive!

Have you traveled? Where have you traveled to?:

Yes, I have traveled to many places. I’ve been to every continent except Antarctica!
