Local travel agency en Macédoine
Breath In Travel, your local agency based in Pristina, Kosovo.
Our story
Breathe in Travel was born from a passion. That of two young Bretons for a region still little explored: the Balkans, and particularly North Macedonia, Kosovo and Albania, discovered during a personal trip in 2014.
Back in France, the desire never left them. Tourism graduates, Quentin and Alan choose to settle in Pristina and found their agency in 2016, after extensive groundwork exploring the territory and meeting with local stakeholders. The project takes shape around a shared intuition: that of a region with immense potential, waiting to be told differently. Soon, the team expands its scope across the entire Balkans and designs itineraries that naturally connect North Macedonia to its neighbours.
Today, Quentin and Alan are supported by a team of English-speaking tourism professionals and certified guides fluent in Albanian, Macedonian, Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian, Bulgarian, and Montenegrin. All share an in-depth knowledge of the terrain, built through years of on-the-ground exploration.
Here, we don't replicate standard itineraries. We build journeys that reflect who you are.
Breathe in Travel is a member of the Nomadays collective. This partnership allows you to benefit from direct organization with a local team based in Pristina, while enjoying secure booking in France: payment in euros, protection of deposited funds, APST guarantee and compliance with French tourism law. You thus enjoy the best of both worlds: the proximity of an on-the-ground team and the solidity of a protective legal framework.
North Macedonia is a discreet destination, but very captivating. It reveals itself in the details: a village, a shared meal, a mountain road, an exchange by the lake.
