It’s easy to see why Dubrovnik is known as the pearl of the Adriatic. When we approached it from the water on our sailboat, the magnitude of its medieval towers and stone walls left us a little speechless. The city seems to rise up from the water and proudly beat its chest. And it has every […]
Of all the wine regions in the world, I never thought I would step foot in the Balkans. Heck, I didn’t even realize they had good wines there. What we discovered is that Balkan wines aren’t just good. They’re VERY good. We traveled and tasted our way through Slovenia, Croatia, and Montenegro, and we definitely […]
In Croatia there is a saying: “Fish should swim three times – first in the sea, second in olive oil, and third in wine.” Nowhere is this phrase more epitomized in the Croatian culture and daily life than it is in Split. From the lively harbor promenade, or riva as it is known in Italian, […]
When visiting Rovinj, a day trip to Pula is an easy excursion. Even though many travelers choose to stay in Pula with a day trip to Rovinj, we preferred it the other way around. Pula is the biggest city in the Istria region of Croatia with lots of history mixed with modern life. We just […]

It’s good to finally be back! After traveling for the better part of a month, it feels good to be home and back to a routine. Sorry to leave you guys hanging for so long, but hopefully you followed along on my Instagram! I have so much to share from our trip to the Balkans, […]
It’s time for the part of travel that I dislike the most – packing. But I make it easier on myself by curating a packing list of all the summer outfits and accessories I plan to bring. For our trip to Croatia (oh and also Slovenia, Bosnia, and Montenegro) I’m bringing a mix of summer […]
