My name is Slaven Škrobot,

I am an adventurer, travel writer, travel blogger, and humanitarian.

Despite my disability (quadriplegia), I decided to live life to the fullest and travel the world. I write about my travels and the problems I face on my blog and try to educate people about my injury and life with a disability.

The goal is to educate, encourage, motivate and inspire people to dare to follow and live their dreams.
I travel to exotic destinations outside the routes provided for people with disabilities in the simplest possible way, breaking down all barriers and stereotypes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn from the locals, meet new people and listen to their stories. I want to go deeper than scratching the surface like many travelers around the globe. Besides that, I need help and saving money always sounds good!
