Adnan Zimić was born in 1989 in Sarajevo, B&H. He is an active mountaineer and conservation biologist with master's degree, specializing in the research of amphibians and reptiles. His interest in alpine ecosystems has been developed as a student of biology when he started to work on projects related to the protection of relict species. "The work for Green Visions gives me the opportunity to show and educate people about our natural beauties, endemic species and biodiversity - which is one of the highest in Europe. If you love wildlife, there's no way you will be bored with me.".

I was born and raised in Sarajevo. I work for Green Visions as a mountain guide and leader, mostly during the summer months, since 2008. High school and University years I spent studying abroad, at Boston, USA, which was my home for about 10 years. I love sports and played actively football, while I lived in the States. However, outdoor sports are my passion, such as hiking and biking. I've been attracted to the nature here in Bosnia and around Sarajevo, ever since I was a child. I also work as snowboard instructor during the winter months.

Azra's appreciation and love of nature brought her to Green Visions. She has found a perfect combination of business and community development in her work. As Operations and Office Manager Azra provides us with much needed strategic, organizational and administrative support.

I am born in Sarajevo in 1988. I am a final year on journalism studies. Six years ago, I started to hike and explore mountains at Bosnia and Herzegovina. I fell in love in mountains after my first hike and since then I did not stop to explore them. Through my passion of hiking and mountain biking I got in contact with Green Visions and became part of this awesome team. I also work as a ski instructor during the winter.

I was born and spent my childhood in Vareš, a small mountain community situated at the foot of the Mountain Zvijezda. Having the mountain right at my doorsteps it was natural that the hills, forest and valley became my playground from an early age on. Beside the love for the outdoors I am an enthusiastic traveler, love to see and learn about different cultures. That enthusiasm brought me to major Europe and world destination, where I discovered my passion for working as a guide. Now I am certified mountain guide, speak English and German fluently and happy to work with Green Visions. The work for Green Visions gives me the opportunity to enjoy a healthy environment and for all to guide and show all the beauties of Bosnia and the Balkans to our guests. Welcome!

Born in 1996, in a city centered in the country, like the pupil in the eye, called Zenica (zjenica). Ever since I was young I fell in love with nature, as a lot of my childhood years I spent working in the garden with my dad. At the age of 19, I moved to the Bosnian capital Sarajevo, where I studied and graduated biology, working many part time jobs in between. Olympic city showed me its lungs, beautiful mountains, and like the roots holding the ground stable, hiking became my way of living. I heard the mountains calling and any free time I had I would pack my bag, and hike. And even though my initial goal was to learn about nature, nature started teaching me a lot about my life and the possibility it holds. Open mind and sense of adventure led me to Green visions, and as of last year I got to experience mountains with a whole new perception, as a guide, and that's a great opportunity.

Born and raised in city center of Sarajevo in 1992, Kenan always wanted to find the way out of the crowded urban areas, and good thing that Bosnian mountains provide that in abundance and Green Visions is there to give that same escape to all it's guests and users. Long time active hiker and junior alpine climber, amateur landscape photographer, student of architecture, enthusiast in historical mythology, vinyl records collector and since recently mountain guide for Green Visions.

Lejla, a native of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a certified mountain guide by Mountaineering Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina and UIAA standards (Official International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation, partner of the International Olympic Committee) and she has been guiding and leading trips with Green Visions for the past 8 years. Lejla is one of few people, for now, who had a chance to hike the whole Via Dinarica route (from Slovenia to Albania), which is becoming more and more interesting to visitors of this area. She is an architect, who is from birth, thanks to her parents, passionately in love in outdoors and hiking.

The biggest passions of mine are hiking and cycling. Adventure has never been away from my week schedule and I think I will never have enough of it. Beside being active Mountain Hiking and Biking Leader with Green Visions for last 2 years, I am member of the NGO "Giro di Sarajevo" which is promoting urban cycling in Sarajevo, trying to force local government to provide cyclists with better infrastructure. As a member of Mountain Rescue Service, I guess you should be safe while hiking/biking with me. Apart from that, I am starting up a company that is manufacturing smart electric bicycles. When the time comes for it, I want to be able to say that I lived life to the fullest and regret nothing. Our time here is limited, therefore I believe that we owe it to ourselves to have as much fun as possible. After all, is there anything better than a good hike or bike ride filled with breathtaking views?

Having jumped into the outdoors at the age of seven Lorenc became more than passionate about (fell in love with, actually) the environment and pristine wilderness in what was then known as the country of Yugoslavia.

Lorenc is a Certified Mountain Guide, Travel Guide and trained Park Ranger, member of a Mountain Rescue Team, and has been leading Green Visions trips since 2000.

Born in a small town Zenica in 2000. With regular trips to our family country side, forest and hills became my childhood friends. I kept walking paths and trails throughout my life, and one of them led me to Green Visions. I am very grateful that life opened up the door of mountaineering and later on guiding. I've realized the importance and the possibility of including someone or something as a part of myself, and how that inclusiveness brings transformation to the way we experience life. Being able to share and experience our beautiful culture, people, landscapes, and peaks I find to be a great privilege and possibility for enrichment of our lives. "
