I Dreamed of Texas, Bosnia and the USA… but Reality Chose Differently✅

We all dream of travelling the world… but sometimes life has other plans.
In this video, I share the honest story of the trips I always wanted to take — Texas, Bosnia, the USA, even Guam — and how family, pets, work, and responsibilities slowly shaped a very different path.
If you’ve ever felt “held back” from your travel dreams, this story will speak directly to you.

What This Video Is About:
In this personal travel story, I talk about:
Why I dreamed of visiting Texas, Bosnia, Croatia, the USA and Guam
How having dogs, kids and a busy life made long trips almost impossible
The reality of working nonstop, moving countries, and never having “real” vacations
How I discovered the beauty of England, Scotland, and small local towns instead of long-haul trips
The moment I realized that life chooses for you, even when you don’t want it to
This is not a travel guide — it’s a real, honest look at how life shapes our plans.
