Hey, I’m Ivan

I’m a journalist and car guy who writes about Croatia’s best roads and road trips. I started this blog after almost a decade of writing, first in tech media, and then in esports and gaming. During my career, I’ve worked with clients from all over the world, but have always wanted to create something that combines my passion for driving and my home country. This blog aims to do that.

A collection of Croatia’s best roads and stories – at least for me.

Minimalist illustration of a Croatian countryside road with rolling blue hills and a coastal backdrop. Four stylized diesel cars—a VW Golf, Škoda Octavia, BMW, and Mercedes—are parked in the foreground. A fuel pump icon appears to the left, and a geometric Croatian flag accent floats above the landscape. The scene uses soft gradients, clean lines, and a flat design style.

What makes a road worth driving?

I started rating roads not with numbers but by how they made me feel when driving them. It turns out you can track feelings.

  • 🌀 Twist Factor – More twists mean a more amusing road, but too many twists and turns make it dangerous.
  • 🏞️ Scenic Value – Some roads provide amazing sights for photos, or just atmosphere.
  • 🚦 Traffic & Flow – Essential info, no use from a good road with never-ending traffic.
  • 📶 Surface Quality – Better quality surface means more fun.
  • 🛣️ Road Width & Elevation – We don’t think about these when we drive.
  • ✍️ Personal Vibe – The feeling of the route is what sticks with you.
