Tjaša Janovljak

Tourist Guide & Local Expert & Destination consultant & Travel Writer & Photographer

My name is Tjaša, which is – surprisingly – only found in Slovenia. I was born in Ljubljana, where I have lived for most of my life. Even without moving, I have changed two countries and three currencies. But that is nothing compared to my grandmother.

Working as

Travel Writer & Copywriter

Member of Slovenian Travel Press Association

Proud spotter since 2008, writing about my favorite spots in Ljubljana for Spotted by Locals.

I wrote and photographed the whole Ljubljana Beer Guide by myself.

I cooperate with a few magazines, like:

Photographer

Taking pictures for online and offline articles and my blog.

​I regularly cooperate with an art group named KUD Galerija CCU
and
Tektonik craft brewery.

​For a decade I was a concert photographer for the online magazine Rock on net
and a car photographer for Mobil magazine.

I published a few series of postcards which can be found in a few shops around Ljubljana.

Recently I am practicing a bit of art with hand pressing and thus re-making the photographs into unique prints. These are also available on sale in some shops.
