RESEARCH FIELD
Majority of my research is related to Human Resources Management, since this is a very wide area I tend to focus on the field of values, competencies and different generations in working environment. My main interest is focused on relationship between personal values and different generations. I am also especially close to the field of tour guiding, since this is the field where I have started my career in tourism in. I see tour guides as often unsung heroes of tourism.
My research has been published in scientific journals such as: E+M: ekonomie a management, Organizacija, Tourism, culture & communication, Tourismos, Teorija in praksa, Human systems management & Academica turistica: tourism & innovation journal, Theological Quarterly and International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management.

TEACHING APPROACH
Teaching is an interaction and cooperation with students. I do not see "ex cathedra" way of teaching suitable for the modern environment of the university. My ultimate goal in teaching is to develop a respectful conversation among all participants in which the ability to think critically and reflect on the content being demonstrated.
I always try to adapt the teaching approach to the group that I meet and to the content discussed. For me there is no single way that would be suitable for all the teaching situations. I aim to support the theoretical knowledge shared in the classrooms with practical examples since theoretical knowledge is not enough, students need to be able to use that theoretical knowledge in practice.

PERSONAL DESCRIPTION
From the hidden gems of Catalonia, through the hustle and bustle of the streets of worlds capitals, to the snowy expanses of Lapland, by bus, plane or motorhome, with a group, in the company of friends or alone, it doesn’t matter, it’s important that I go.
Therefore, I can really identify with the thought of Nejc Zaplotnik: “All this is my life. A path that leads nowhere else but to the next path and this again to the next crossroads. No end. Freedom in the fullest sense of the word.”
