Scenic drives and personal stories. One country, one car at a time.
Hey, I’m Ivan
I’m a journalist and car guy who talks about Croatia’s best roads and road trips. I started this blog when I stopped working for an international media outlet in esports and gaming. I wanted to combine my passion for cars and driving with my experience in writing. And now, here we are.

What makes a road worth driving?
I started rating roads not with numbers but with how they made me feel when driving them. It turns out you can track feelings.
- 🌀 Twist Factor – It makes the road fun or tiring.
- 🏞️ Scenic Value – The views are what you remember.
- 🚦 Traffic & Flow – It’s dull but essential.
- 📶 Surface Quality – Better quality means more fun.
- 🛣️ Road Width & Elevation – We don’t think about these when we drive.
- ✍️ Personal Vibe – There’s more than just geometry here
