The Godfather Tour: Playing Mob Wife at Bar Vitelli & Taormina Trip
Buon giorno, friends! This week, let me take you to the Southern part of Italy – Taormina! We’ll also go for The Godfather tour, where we’ll visit the famous Bar Vitelli and Sicilian villages π I went to Italy in May 2024, right after my Croatia trip. It wasn’t because I had a big budget, but I had to, for the sake of getting a multiple-entry Schengen visa since there’s no Croatian embassy in KL π Although I only watched The Godfather Part I, this tour was the highlight of my South Italy trip. I liked small Sicilian towns, with their cobbled-stone streets and classic stores. What excited me the…

Hi, everyone! Where do you want to go next? What about island hopping in Croatia? This week, I’ll take you to Korcula and Mljet National Park! πΏβ¨π Honestly, I don’t have many things to say about my Croatia island hopping trip because… the towns are very small and I was there for just one night in each town. However, when you read this blog post, I hope to give you a virtual tour experience in Korcula and Mljet National Park π Ah, actually, I spent two nights in Korcula! That was because Mljet National Park was small and only two restaurants were there. Plus, the sea was a bit rough…

Croatia Island Hopping: Makarska
Hi, everyone! This week, let me take you to the first stop of my Croatia island hopping tour: Makarska! This is my favourite town in Croatia because… you’ll see π Before writing this blog, I wrote about Salve Di Mare, an elegant small cruise that was my home at the sea for this 7D6N Croatia island hopping tour. Usually, people go for Greek island hopping, but why did I choose Croatia island hopping? I have a few reasons: On 27 April 2024, the cruise departed from Split.The route: Split – Makarska – Korcula – Mljet – Dubrovnik – Hvar – Split We only stayed for one night in each town,…

Krka National Park and Trogir Day Trip from Split, Croatia
Hi, guys! This week, let me take you to the beautiful Krka National Park and Trogir day trip from Split, Croatia β¨β¨β¨ If you’re a fan of Game of Thrones, visiting Split will be worth it because there are buses and local tour operators that will take you on day trips around Croatia. So, you wouldn’t fly from far, far away just to see the filming location but it’s also easy to arrange day trips from the city π Split itself isn’t that big, especially if you stay near what used to be the Diocletian Palace. For the Krka National Park and Trogir day trip from Split, actually I booked…

I will also show you my beautiful apartment, built on a historical Diocletian Palace β¨β¨β¨ If you read my previous blog post, I shared that I went to Croatia because of Maksim Mrvica, my favourite piano player.

Croatia Cruise Review: Salve Di Mare
Hi, everyone! This week, I want to share my amazing Croatia island-hopping experience on Salve Di Mare, a beautiful and elegant small cruise. As much as I love boarding on cruises and marveling at the sea every day, it feels good to return to Malaysia after a month’s break. Actually, I just wanted to go to Croatia but there’s no Croatian embassy in Kuala Lumpur. So, I decided to also visit South Italy and apply for a multiple-entry Schengen visa from the Italian embassy. This trip happened thanks to my favourite piano player, Maksim Mrvica, who inspired me to visit his home country, Croatia. It was one of the best…
