My main motivation comes from people’s feedback: The story of Marija Perković

Introduce yourself and tell us about your work.

My name is Marija Perković. I work as an English teacher at a high school in Livno. I also run a tourism business with my husband. I am the organizer of the Canosa Baira event on the Sturba River and birdwatching activities in Livno Field.

What is your main motivation?

My main motivation comes from people’s feedback. When people are happy and satisfied, it feels like the greatest victory in the world, lifting you up.

What challenges or obstacles have you faced?

The biggest challenge was definitely the lack of information. It was difficult to find the right details — knowing who to contact, which door to knock on, and where to go next. This is a major issue when it comes to administration and bureaucracy.

What are your hopes and dreams for the future, personally and for the local community?

We hope to expand our business, involve more people from the community, and connect different local enterprises. We also hope to become better known in tourism circles and attract more visitors in the future.
