About Me

Cafe in Dubrovnik
Cafe in Dubrovnik

Croatia is one of those places that shows up on bucket lists for good reason — but with so many coastal towns, islands, and inland highlights, it can be hard to know where to start. I help travelers who want more than a generic tour build trips that make the most of the Dalmatian Coast and beyond, without spending hours buried in research.

Along the coast, many of my clients fall in love with Dubrovnik and Split, smaller towns along the Adriatic, and islands such as Hvar and Korcula. Your trip might include time in historic old towns, coastal walks, boat days, or a small-ship cruise that lets you see more than one place without packing and unpacking every night. Whether you prefer an escorted tour, a cruise, or a custom independent itinerary, we’ll shape it around your interests and pace.

Inland, Croatia offers a different kind of scenery and culture: national parks like Plitvice Lakes and Krka, the café life and museums of Zagreb, and the food and wine regions of Istria and the Pelješac Peninsula. Food is a big part of the experience here — fresh seafood and black risotto on the coast, heartier dishes inland, local olive oils, cheeses, truffles, and distinctive Croatian wines. If food and wine are important to you, we can build that into the plan with tastings, winery visits, or simply time in the right towns.

As your Croatia travel specialist, I help you decide where to focus, when to go, and how to connect the dots in a way that feels smooth and manageable. I recommend where to stay, how long to spend in each area, and which day trips or activities fit your style, whether that’s kayaking, hiking, cycling, or slower days exploring local neighborhoods. You get a clear plan and one point of contact for questions along the way.

If Croatia has been on your list and you’re not sure how to pull it all together, I’m here to make the planning feel easier so you can focus on the experience. Travel more, worry less.
