Destination: Zagreb, Croatia

My five nights in Split were long, but packed with activities. From exploring the nearby islands (e.g. Hvar) to day trips to Plitviče Lakes and Bosnia & Herzegovina, I was constantly out from morning to evening-- that said, I found my time in Zagreb a much-more relaxing affair, all the while seeing a good amount … Continue reading Destination: Zagreb, Croatia

Any case, it would be the … Continue reading Destination: Cinque Terre, Italy (Part 3)
