Dragana/Introduction

Dragana was born in Serbia just after the breakup of former Yugoslavia and the region's descent into years of eastern European infighting. After fleeing the war zone and a father who wanted to put her into the thick of it, she picked up freelance work as an armed escort for government agencies and academic teams, securing and protecting archaeological and ancient historic sites. She's traveled throughout eastern Europe, the Mediterranean and extreme climes as far north as Kamchatka and as dangerous as El Chaltén. Eventually, she landed on a niche as an expensive high-end adventure tourism guide, then found a more stable professional specialty as a government and academic site team 'escort' up and down South America. After recuperating from two particularly serious injuries, she discovered a new life which has now brought her to London.
