THE TEAM
One Life is our story
It is one of the oldest and most used cliches, “you only live once” or “there is only one life”. But besides it being a bumper sticker catchphrase, it can also become a lifestyle and a fulfilled dream. But only if you dare.
In our one life, there is only one world. The world is worth exploring at a slow pace, enjoying every mile propelled by our legs and savoring each bite of precious locally produced meals.
We are outdoors and travel enthusiasts, who strongly believe in a healthy business and leisure balance. This is why after years spent in corporate life, we chose a lifestyle that combines our love for the outdoors, flexibility in the daily schedule, traveling and discovering our neighborhood with the same passion as distant countries, and sharing that passion with other people.
Setting out not to be just tour leaders, but your local friends as well. And who better to ask for local secrets, dishes, and insight into the culture, history, and locals’ mindset than your friends?
Igor Dorić
Founder & Chief Tour Officer, certified outdoor activities Tour Leader
Igor is a travel enthusiast with a head in mechanical engineering and his heart in travel and active outdoors.
Since he could walk, he started traveling by any means, covering more than 65 countries so far. And since he could ride, his Suzuki V-Strom took him to almost every corner of Europe until it became too small for his ambitions. In 2017 he embarked on his most exciting and longest moto trip ever – covering a distance of 20 000 kilometers, his wheels rolled from Croatia to Mongolia over many challenging roads in Central Asian countries. The most demanding but also the most rewarding one – the Pamir highway in Tajikistan – was the highlight of this trip and a turning point in his life. He realized there’s much more in life than office work and since then you can see him guiding motorbike & cycling tours, entertaining his guests with his travel stories, and exploring new places for future tours.
When he’s not working, your best bet is to find him somewhere in nature – either hiking, trail running, or of course, cycling. Either on his motorbike or powered by his two legs – his life is always in motion.
Stjepan Martinčević
Founder & Chief Experience Officer, certified outdoor activities Tour Leader
A ski instructor, mechanical engineer, cycling tourer, motorcycle guide, wanderer, Van [1] Lifer with a travel bug. In spite of many changes in his life, his passion for bicycles never changed since he first sat on the smallest bike he inherited from his sister and started turning the pedals.
Worked as a mechanical engineer for more than 10 years. But that was just a job. It showed him however, what he should really do and he never regretted the experience and expertise gained. Stjepan directed them toward his new endeavors – creating and guiding active outdoor tours.
With his (motor)bike he traveled many paths, but the crown of his travels so far was a 6-month tour around Europe, covering the distance of 27 000 kilometers. Experienced in guiding road & MTB off-road trips/tours. Coming from a motorcycle guide background he knows how to move travelers forward, and feel the win in the hair even while riding an ebike. Tackling ebikes on new and old terrains with new and old clients makes his days active and occupied during the cycling season. But, as soon as the winter knocks on the door he will probably run to the mountains in search of snow. That is why One Life project brings him more than just work. It is life, dedication, passion & vocation in ONE.
