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…

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…

Jiuzhaigou, A Dream Destination for Nature Lovers
Hi, friends! This week, let me take you to Jiuzhaigou, a dream destination for nature lovers. It’s another stunning place to satisfy your eyes, mind, and soul ποΈπΏπ If you read my previous blog about Huanglong, you’ll know I struggled to breathe because of the altitude. Don’t worry, Jiuzhaigou isn’t as high as Huanglong, so most people don’t experience altitude sickness. Actually, Huanglong is the northern end of Jiuzhaigou. People who come to Jiuzhaigou will go to Huanglong too because they’re near. That’s why I wrote about the more difficult trip first before posting this one, hehe! π If you love nature and have a limited budget, both places are…

Hi, everyone! This week, let’s visit Owakudani to see Mount Fuji, shop for Japanese snacks, and stay at the comfy Guesthouse Gaku in Hakoneπ»β€οΈπ Since the Sakura season is coming, I feel like writing about Japan.
