Creating Memories Instead of Chasing Dreams
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.
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.
My time in Kuta was cut short due to the overwhelming hustle, but I did enjoy the beautiful beaches and surfing lessons. I discovered nearby Canggu for a quieter escape, but still found plenty of activities in Kuta like beach relaxation, surfing, and even getting a tattoo.
After arriving in Canggu, I quickly realized it was the perfect escape from Kuta. This laid-back town offered an authentic Indonesian experience with kind locals, stunning sunsets, and relaxing beach vibes. Exploring via scooter and sampling grilled corn by the beach capped off my unforgettable stay.
