Wishing someone a good journey.
Kultureller Hintergrund
It is common to walk a guest all the way to their car or the bus door while repeating 'Sretan put'. For those traveling by boat, 'Mirno more' is often preferred over 'Sretan put'. Travelers are often given 'putna rakija' (a farewell drink) before being wished 'Sretan put'. Using 'Sretan put' in a WhatsApp group with travel emojis is the standard way to acknowledge a friend's trip.
The 'Javi se' Rule

Use it for anyone!
Don't be afraid to say this to taxi drivers or bus drivers when you get off. It's very polite and appreciated.
