Larissa Olenicoff Sinclair (fromlarissawithlove.com) is a seasoned travel writer and destination marketing consultant known for her colourful storytelling and passion for lesser-known locales. Holding a Master of Arts in European Studies from Lund University, she spent nearly a decade exploring every corner of Europe while living in the UK, Ukraine and Sweden. From 2015–17, she called Kosovo home while focusing exclusively on tourism development in the Western Balkans. Larissa has collaborated on tourism projects with agencies and organisations across Europe, North America and Central Asia, and in 2019, she founded LOBAH Travel, which offers unique, tailor-made tours through the Western Balkans. Now semi-nomadic and spending most of the year in her native California (USA), she continues to share her adventures to offbeat destinations and quirky attractions around the USA, the Balkans and beyond. She is the updater of Bradt’s Bosnia & Herzegovina guidebook.
