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…

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…
