Best of the Balkans in 2 Weeks! ✈

Croatia has been a red-hot travel spot in recent years. With dramatic seaside cliffs, ancient Roman Ruins, the natural wonder of Plitvice Lakes, and a bevy of islands to hop to, it’s no wonder why. This two-week itinerary lets you explore all of that along with several other Balkan region highlights.

Use this itinerary as a guide for your own trip, altering where you see fit. We’ll visit the Dalmation Coast, the war-torn city of Mostar, the dreamy Istrian peninsula, and charming Slovenia!

❤️ On Falling in Love in Cuba ❤️

We couldn’t have been in Cuba more than an hour or so before realizing this trip was going to be really different, really special. Before turning in our first night, we both commented “the people are all so helpful to each other here“. I guess that is one positive outcome of living with socialism for 50+ years.

We’ve traveled to other polite places before (hello, Thailand!), although their kindness seems to be less sincere and more of a cultural influence. In Cuba, the people we met genuinely wanted to know more about us. They also freely helped each other. And that was how we ended up falling in love in Cuba.
