What is there beyond the city? Korene is both a community and an experience provider, focused on rural tourism. Starting from Zagreb and northern Croatia, we aim at creating fun, simple, educational experiences in collaboration with artisans and farms. We connect people and the countryside to live rural life as it is.

Korene aims at transforming tourism into an opportunity for discovery and mutual learning.
The core of Korene are local communities: we highlight cultural heritage, traditions, and daily life by cooperating with farms, associations, and small businesses.
Our value stems from the needs and interests of our partners, with the ultimate goal of contributing to sustainable rural development.
We make traveling an experience based on learning, respect, and simplicity. We don’t aim for perfection, but to showcase reality and to appreciate the small things.
We approach traveling with curiosity, and strive to provide opportunities before anything else: for discovery, enjoyment, and sharing connections.
Roots that Travel.
Korene is founded by someone who grew roots in many places, living and traveling across three continents.
For us, roots means feeling at home. As travelers, we are guests of the country that hosts them: each experience is designed to reflect an exchange, just like you would do when visiting a friend. We are also defined by mobility, both physical - moving from place to place, and personal, through growth and change.
Connecting countries and people becomes a way to offer stability and livelihoods in rural areas, promoting innovation while preserving traditions.
We want to showcase real life. We don’t aim for the perfect experience; we aim for genuineness and simplicity.
We value human connections and mutual understanding, acting as mediators between local communities and travelers to create encounters that are respectful and enriching.
Above all, we believe that the most memorable journeys leave room for spontaneity. Everyday moments are often what transform travel into something spectacular.
