Katarina is from Maribor and has lived in Ljubljana since 2014. She covers Croatia, Slovenia, the Balkans, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Austria and Greece: the coast before and after the summer crowds, ferries between islands, which borders are Schengen and which are not, and where the euro is and is not the currency.
