ABOUT ME

Hey there! I'm Arben, originally from Slovenia, but I've been calling Amsterdam home since 2010. Life here has been an exciting new chapter in my journey. I spent a few years as a vegan chef, and for the last five, I've been dedicated to teaching yoga.

I thrive on connection and positive energy. Whether it's through yoga, meditation, breathwork, or a great conversation, I love finding moments of mindfulness and growth. I'm also a huge fan of fresh fruit, outdoor adventures like hiking, staying active with sports, and diving into philosophical books. Looking forward to sharing good vibes and meaningful experiences with fellow travelers!
