As is the norm for me, I went on a walk-a-bout this morning and discovered the most beautiful seaside village of Donja Lastva. Staying in Tivat, I have been surrounded by a fair amount of newness, in fact, the city is the fastest growing municipality in Montenegro. When I stumbled onto Donja, I was whisked …

Arguably the biggest draw for tourists to Split, is the gorgeous and historic ancient part of the city. The magic of Diocletianโs Palace & Old Town is like nothing else.

I stumbled onto this garden completely by accident. On my long walk-about-town today, I was exploring Marjan Hill again. I was coming down a trail on the Southern side, well past the area of the cliffs. I saw a gate at one end of a path, and it was unlocked! Inside, I discovered the resurrection …
Ahhhhh one of my very favourite things in life is to be on a beach. Usually, I prefer a warm or hot climate and a sandy beach, but really, Iโm happy on any coastal expanse. I went off course on my long walk this morning, and guess what? I found three beautiful beaches all withing …
