Plus, I felt…

This week, let me take you on the Baliem Valley Festival budget tour – Day 2! 🌿 πŸ“Έ 🀳🏻 If you’ve read the Day 1 blog post, you may wonder what you would do during the three-day festival.

On the first day of the Baliem Valley Festival, I reached the festival in the afternoon and had a glimpse of the festival. I took some selfies and tip-based photos of the tribes. At the end of the festival Day 1, I asked the private driver to stop by a supermarket before returning to the hotel…

    Croatia Island Hopping: Korcula and Mljet National Park

    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! 🌿✨🌊 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 😊 Ah, actually, I spent two nights in Korcula!

    Hi, everyone! This week, let me take you to the first stop of my Croatia island hopping tour: Makarska!

    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 ✨✨✨ 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 πŸ˜‰ 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…

    Hi, everyone! This week let me take you on a day trip to Sibenik, departing from Split, Croatia! I will also show you my beautiful apartment, built on a historical Diocletian Palace ✨✨✨ If you read my previous blog post, I shared that I went to Croatia because of Maksim Mrvica, my favourite piano player.

However, I managed to visit the main square and had a really nice gelato, which was enough…
