We set out early, hoping to beat the heat, my sister, her husband and two boys, and I, heading for Blace for a qucik for a bit of summer escape. The plan was simple: arrive before the sun climbed too high, find a shady spot, and let the kids enjoy the water while we cooled off. But even in the...

It is always a challenge to escape the summer season here in Mostar. It is also a challenge to find new places where you can escape to when the heat in the city just gets a little bit too much.luckily we found such a place south of Mostar this past weekend. It is a restaurant called Laks and is also...

My sister and her family took a little adventure to one of northern Italy’s most picturesque spots, Miramare Castle, just outside of Trieste. I wanted to share some of her images from this place. Perched above the sparkling blue Adriatic Sea, this 19th-century castle is the kind of place that looks like it was pulled straight from a fairy tale,...

This year, I celebrated my 38th birthday in a way that was simple, quiet, and exactly what I needed, on the beautiful island of Korčula, at the Aminess Port 9 Resort. No big party, no fancy dinners or late-night dancing. Just me, my dog Beni, and my sister, her husband, and their kids, sharing a few sun-drenched days by the...

After winding roads through vineyards, hilltop towns steeped in history, truffle-scented meals, and crystalline coastlines, our Istria adventure has come to its final chapter, and there’s no better place to close this sun-soaked story than Rovinj. Nestled on the western coast of the Istrian Peninsula, Rovinj feels like it was painted into existence. With its pastel buildings clinging to a...

I will continue with my summer images from the island Brac in Croatia. Recently I showed you the town of Nerezisca, and in today’s post I will share some sights from Supetar, which is the main city of the island. With a population of around three thousand people, it is the island’s largest town. It is accessible by ferry from...

When I first set out on this journey, I knew it would be something special. The vastness of the American Southwest, the iconic places I had dreamt of visiting for years, and the freedom of the open road all called to me. I loved writing about my journey in the previous extensive posts. In today’s post I want to recap...

Nestled on the northwestern tip of the Istrian Peninsula, Umag is a coastal gem that quietly reveals its charm to those willing to stroll its streets, wander its harbor, and linger beneath its dusky skies. On my recent visit, I found myself captivated by a town that gracefully blends layers of history, Adriatic beauty, and laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle. From ancient...

Istria, Croatia’s heart-shaped peninsula tucked into the northwestern corner of the country, is a land where rolling hills meet the sea, and medieval villages perch like timeless sentinels above vineyards and olive groves. It’s a place where past and present exist in harmony, where Roman ruins lie beneath cobbled lanes, and the scent of truffle and lavender fills the air....

Lumbarda is a small fishermen’s village located on the eastern end of the Island of Korcula, few kilometres away from the same named town of Korcula, in Croatia. A road passing through a picturesque area of pine woods and olive groves connects these two places. The village is surrounded by sandy vineyards. Sandy beaches like Vela Przina, Bilin Zal and...
