I love visiting Split in December. There is something about arriving in the morning and finding the entire city glowing under a cloudless blue sky.

This wasn’t just any restaurant, it became a little happy place for me. I dined...

I am back from vacation. This summer, I set out to recharge by the sea, and I found the perfect place to do just that in Umag, Croatia, which i had visited just recently.
