© 2024 Nomad Trail
We designed and hosted a game-changing 1-week event to showcase Bosnia and Herzegovina's potential on the global stage.
A unique immersive experience gathering dynamic solopreneurs, business owners and remote workers in a privatized 4-star hotel surrounded by stunning mountains. We exchanged real-world knowledge and connected with the Bosnian ecosystem of entrepreneurs, policymakers, researchers, local businesses and curious minds. We embraced outdoor living, enjoyed genuinely connecting to one another, and shared good amounts of fun and laughter.

FRESH AIR AND RECHARGING MOMENTS
After hours of mental stimulation, we found our happy place breathing in the fresh air in the gorgeous nature surrounding the hotel.
Just a short stroll away, we had access to a network of trails perfect for a quick hike or a leisurely wander. Whether basking in the sun or seeking shade, each one created its own sweet escape from the digital world, allowing minds and bodies to ground.

worksessions with a view
Our privatized hotel was our workspace, with all kinds of chill or social zones. And we had the whole place to ourselves!
The highlight? The lovely outdoor terrace with mountain views to inspire sunshine-powered work sessions, accompanied by a freshly squeezed lemonade or ice coffee from the barista. The even better part? Our own coworking forest for the freshest temperatures.

outdoor and active escapes
Mornings started with energizing yoga sessions and mindful moments to recharge. For a splash of adventure, we hit the rapids on a thrilling white-water rafting expedition down Bosnia's most spectacular river. Can we say we combined sport with ice-bathing if the water is at 7 degrees Celsius?
an iconic DJ set
We transformed a secret location into an unforgettable dancefloor. Perched atop the iconic Igman ski jump, famous for hosting the 1984 Winter Olympics, we witnessed a breathtaking sunset. Surrounded by a lush pine forest and equipped with a state-of-the-art sound system, we danced the night away under the open sky.
Entrepreneurs evening & pitching competition
We partnered with BRAVO BiH, a leading non-profit focused on entrepreneurship and youth development, to create networking moments joining over 300 entrepreneurs and investors. We listened to a captivating keynote on Bosnia's economic landscape and investment opportunities. We then hosted the finals of the pitching competition, where aspiring entrepreneurs showcased their innovative ideas.
ENDLESS Culinary Delights
Our taste buds danced with delight as we indulged in a culinary adventure through Bosnia. From the savory delights of crispy ćevapi and flaky burek to the creamy richness of cheese pitas, to grilled meats and salads, we savored every bite, even a few too many... Sweet endings were guaranteed with jummy baklava and other local treats.
OPEN DIALOGUES with Local Politicians
We engaged in an open dialogue with local policymakers to discuss the future of the region. A diverse group of nomads, from seasoned digital nomads to curious newcomers, couples, and everything in between, joined the conversation. Together, we explored how to create a thriving ecosystem for digital nomads, addressing our unique needs and challenges.
By sharing insights and perspectives, we aimed to shape the future of remote work in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a particular focus on Bjelasnica.
