Adventure, Blog, Categories, Croatia

When it came time to take my first vacation in the last two years, I wanted to do something I’ve dreamed of for years — sailing the islands off the coast of Croatia. Dave and I joined up with my frequent and much-loved partner Busabout on their One-Way Croatia Sail. And the result? THIS. TRIP.

Zadar and Split: A Tale of Two Cities

Blog, Categories, Cities, Croatia

Croatia is world-renowned for its gorgeous coastline, islands, and beaches of Upper Dalmatia.  Less famous?  The urban gateways to these islands: the cities of Zadar and Split. Dave and I decided to visit both cities in one day after driving down from the Plitivice Lakes. In turn, we discovered two mid-sized cities that we liked

Paradise in the Plitvice Lakes

Blog, Categories, Croatia, Nature

Lush waterfalls, verdant greenery, and pools that change from turquoise to teal to aquamarine — the Plitvice Lakes are one of the most famous sights in Croatia.  As soon as Dave and I started planning our Croatia itinerary, we knew we had to visit the Plitvice Lakes — so we decided to fit our visit

The Spain Beaches Wanderlust List

Beaches, Blog, Categories

I’ve had a feeling for awhile now that Spain will be the country that best represents my 2012.  I made my first visit to Spain in March and am now planning many more trips!  It’s a surprisingly Spanish year. Here are the places that I’d most like to visit in Spain: San Sebastian I may

Road Tripping to Plitivice

Blog, Categories, Croatia, Nature

As we left lovely Istria behind, we discovered a new Croatia — a Croatia of endless green hills and valleys, a Croatia of perfect Alpine villages nestled against looming mountains.  If Istria was Italian Croatia, this was Austrian Croatia. The ride to the Plitivice Lakes from northeastern Istria’s Hum, the “smallest town in the world,”

Next Stop: the Faroe Islands!

Blog, Categories, Faroe Islands, Nature

As this post publishes, I’m on my way to the most remote place I’ve ever been: the Faroe Islands! How remote is remote? THAT remote.  Between Scotland and Iceland.  I will be flying direct from London Gatwick on Atlantic Airways.  This is the only air route not from Scandinavia; there are also ferries to Iceland

Photo Essay: The Beauty of Rovinj

Blog, Categories, Croatia, Off the Beaten Path

I’ve been effusive in praise for the town of Rovinj in Istria, Croatia.  While I could wax poetic about this special place for days, I’m sure you’d much rather look at the beautiful photos! Here is Rovinj in a nutshell: Entering Rovinj’s Old Town, the streets are suddenly painted in bright pastel colors.  We found

Pula: The Perfect Base for Exploring Istria

Blog, Categories, Croatia, Off the Beaten Path

While all flights to Istria land in Pula, most people skip the city and head straight to the beach resorts.  Not us.  We chose to stay in Pula because we wanted to see as much of Istria as we could, and we thought that basing ourselves in the city made the most sense. We also

Istria: The Best Kept Secret in Croatia

Blog, Croatia, Off the Beaten Path

One of the unexpected highlights of our three weeks in the Balkans was lovely Istria — the heart-shaped, Italian-flavored peninsula of western Croatia. Dave and I ended up here on a bit of a whim.  We were deciding whether it would be best to fly into Zagreb, Split, or somewhere else entirely — and it was
