The Numics' Journey: From Cape Town to Bosnia Amidst Global Events

Numa and Katrina Numic met in Cape Town in 2016 and experienced a series of international moves, including to Prague and Germany. Their planned return to Cape Town in early 2020 was derailed by COVID-19 lockdowns, leading them to temporarily stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a decision that ultimately led to them establishing a travel agency there.

So we met like, like in a classic manner, on a on a house party.
So, long story short, we went to Katty's mom to live for a short time until the borders opened that she could move somewhere because in Germany it's not so easy to find an apartment when you just left one. So from Germany to Split, from Split to Sarajevo. And then we spent six months here. We were just waiting out time basically until South Africa opened the borders again for foreigners, because you couldn't even go there for business travel.
In the end, we came back to Europe, we came back here to Bosnia because we didn't know where else to go.
