Jezerce, Croatia

Right now I’m sitting underneath a huge Coca-Cola umbrella as I’m typing, listening to the rain and getting goosebumps from the cooler air.  I’m slightly anxious about having my computer out, but as long as the wind doesn’t start blowing sideways, it will be safe *fingers crossed*.

About a week and a half has passed since I’ve landed in Croatia to sail the coast.  I couldn’t be happier to be off on my own and up in the mountains to see Plitvice National Park.  I’ve settled in a little village nearby called Jezerce. Continue reading

One week until my next trip and I want to buy EVERYTHING!

So, I’m at the point of my pre-trip where I’m thinking of any and all last minute items I could purchase and be rush-delivered to my house before my departure date (July 2nd).

Adriatic Island Hopping with Sail Croatia

Sparkling Adriatic

Crete – My Escape From the City

Berlin was cool but, to be honest I got bored.  There is tons to do, so much history, and a great vibe.  But, after my friend left I wasn’t coming across people I could hang out with.  All the roommates that I ended up with at the hostel didn’t speak English and I got bored doing everything on my own. So, I checked Skyscanner for my flight options, gave up my last two nights in Berlin, and booked it to Crete!

It's so extraordinary you don't believe it's real.  But, my oh my, it is 100% real.
