Justus Reid on life in Zagorje: I wanted to live in the forest, in a tent, away from people

American musician and influencer Justus Reid has become well-known in the Balkans, largely due to his purchase and renovation of a house in Croatia’s Zagorje region for €5,000. Initially planning to live in the woods, he was convinced by a friend in Zagreb to stay in a renovated house instead of a tent. Over time, he transformed the house into a modern and functional home, aided by neighbors. He discusses adapting to life in Croatia, noting occasional negative online comments but feeling at ease in his new environment. He enjoys local cuisine, particularly traditional dishes like gurmanska pljeskavica. Despite owning four homes and planning to buy a fifth, he acknowledges challenges of living away from family, including missing important moments such as his niece’s birth and not meeting her.
