🇭🇷 Quick Facts 🇭🇷
Croatia completely swept me off my feet. Tucked along the Adriatic in Southeast Europe, it’s a place where ancient cities, turquoise seas, and lush national parks all seem to exist in perfect harmony. I wandered through Roman ruins in Split, stood in awe atop Dubrovnik’s old city walls, and lost track of time chasing waterfalls through the forests of Plitvice Lakes.
My first visit was part of a three-week solo backpacking trip, tracing the country from south to north. A year later, I returned to sail its stunning coastline, hopping from one sun-drenched island to the next. I can’t wait to see where Croatia takes me next.
