Creating Memories Instead of Chasing Dreams
I spent two relaxing days in Zadar, Croatiaโan underrated coastal gem on the Adriatic Sea. From watching the famous Sea Organ at sunset to wandering through Roman ruins and enjoying delicious seafood, Zadar offered the perfect blend of history, affordability, and serenity. Iโll also share how I used strategic planning to make this quick getaway luxurious on a budget.
I spent five days exploring Zagreb, the underrated capital of Croatia, where history, charm, and affordability collide. From strolling the cobbled streets of the Upper Town to indulging in local cuisine and exploring quirky museums, Zagreb offered a laid-back but culturally rich experience. Iโll break down how I maximized comfort while saving money using credit card points and travel hacks to stretch my budget without sacrificing luxury.
I take a full day trip to my favorite National Park, Plitvice Lakes. I walk through the process of getting there and the route I take through the park.
Arriving in Amsterdam from Saint Petersburg, I reunited with my mum and friend Daniel, exploring the city’s charm once again. This trip included memorable moments, from indulging in Italian cuisine to navigating the challenges of finding a decent haircut. Join me as I recount our adventures filled with coffee shops, world cup matches, and the astonishing bicycle culture of this vibrant city.
My last stop before returning to the U.S. was Brisbane. From feeding kangaroos at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary to exploring rooftop bars with stunning skyline views, it was a perfect end to my 14-month trip in Oceania.
