Have you ever wanted to go to a different country, but didn’t quite know what to do or how to plan it? Planning a trip across the sea is one of the most exciting things to do. From booking hotels to finding the perfect spots to visit, you can make your vacation the best that it can be. How do you know where to go or what sites you need to see? Travel books and travel blogs will now be your new best friends.
My family has always had a desire to travel, so when the opportunity occurred for us to fly out to the beautiful country of Croatia, of course we couldn’t say no. Due to the short notice, finding a hotel was quite the challenge. Along with that, we went at one of the busiest and hottest times, in the middle of July. With that said I suggest booking your hotels and flights much in advance and aim to travel in early June to avoid the extreme heat.
We found a nice apartment in Cavtat, Croatia, which was far away from all the tourist sites and hotels. My family enjoys getting to the center of the country and not just all the tourist attractions. Cavtat was the perfect place to see what the country was truly about and to get to know the locals. However, we did enjoy a nice walk up and down the beach shore which was covered in little shops and party bars. The nice thing about reading through travel books and blogs is that you can choose what kind of experience you want to have and even which airline you should take. (I definitely recommend flying with Lufthansa Airline) If you enjoy the high speed, crowded tourist areas then I recommend booking your stay at a well-known hotel right in the center of Cavtat or Dubrovnik. However, if you enjoy just a nice peaceful visit while getting to know the true colors of the country, then try to stay away from the big tourist attractions. Either way, the experience will stay with you forever.
Well, enough about hotels and flights and more about the wonderful country. Croatia is a beautiful country. From its high mountains to the bluest waters of the Adriatic, it was needless to say, a true paradise. The most breathtaking city of Croatia is Dubrovnik. The city’s main street is made of pure marble. Why do people go to this great walled city? To walk along the wall that protects this ancient city. This is something everyone who visits Dubrovnik needs to do. The 2 km long wall is the best way to see the entire city all at once. Believe me, the view is something you wouldn’t want to miss. From the highest point of the wall you can overlook the uniform roofs of the houses and the bluest waters in the world, the Adriatic. As you enter the stairs to begin your climb up the wall, you are given the opportunity to have the audio tour. This is a must! A walk on the wall is peaceful; please remember to wear good walking shoes. The marble has been worn away in some spots and is very slippery.
Our eight day vacation was full of surprises and memories that will stay with us forever. From the long plane ride to the beautiful beaches that line the country, our experience was one to remember. This was our Croatian Vacation.

This is such helpful information! Traveling with minors can get complicated, and having all the required documents ready makes the process so much smoother. Thanks for breaking it down so clearly!
Great blog! I really enjoyed reading it. The way you explained everything in such simple and clear words made it easy to follow. Sometimes blogs can get too technical or confusing, but this one was straight to the point and very helpful.
I got good info from your blog
Keep working ,great job!
I haven’t checked in here for a while as I thought it was getting boring, but the last few posts are great quality so I guess I’ll add you back to my daily bloglist. You deserve it my friend 🙂
I had the chance to experience Denmark during the Christmas season, and it’s something I’ll always hold close to my heart. Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen felt like stepping into a storybook. The way the entire park was dressed in soft, glowing lights, handmade decorations, and the comforting scent of mulled wine in the air made every moment feel special.
There’s a unique warmth about this place that isn’t just from the cocoa or winter drinks, but from the people, the laughter, and the little traditions scattered around every corner. Watching families gather, children’s faces light up at the sight of the reindeer, and the simple joy of wandering through beautifully decorated stalls reminded me how lovely the holiday season can be.
It’s not just about the decorations or the rides — it’s the feeling of togetherness, the calm, and the way time seems to slow down so you can really take in the small, meaningful moments. I left with a heart full of good memories and a deep appreciation for the charm and kindness of Danish traditions.
If you ever get the chance to visit, I promise it’s a place that will stay with you long after you’ve left.
The article is full of information , thanks for such a good knowledge.
This article is incredibly informative and well-structured. It offers clear, practical guidance on a topic many travelers often overlook—traveling with minors. The detailed breakdown of required documents and the emphasis on consent letters provide much-needed clarity for parents and guardians planning a trip. A must-read for anyone traveling with children!
Great article! I completely agree with your points.
Keep up the good work

Thank you for such praise, I am glad I could present the material in a way that made you want to see and experience St. Augustine’s Black history for yourself.
Of course, this beach town has lots more to offer but if you are willing to walk the lanes and dig a little bit, the history of the first Blacks and how much they contributed to protecting the colony is fascinating.
Hope you get there and enjoy your trip.
Your trip sounds absolutely incredible! Lisbon is truly a magical city, and your experience during the EuroCup must have made it even more special. If anyone reading this is planning a trip to Lisbon, I highly recommend taking a free walking tour to explore the city’s rich history, charming streets, and hidden gems with a local guide.

Great content for cruise lovers !! One of the most advantage of cruising is you do not have to pick your luggages every day , and every day you discover a new country. Although one day is not enough to see everything it gives an idea about a country ! With my experience since 2007, 99,9% of my guest said that Kusadasi/Turkey is their favorite port among all the other ports. Because we have a lot of options for every traveler. The most popular places , if your ship is docking at Kusadasi, is Ephesus ancient city which is only 25 min. drive away. Ephesus was the 4th largest ancient city of the world in 2 c AD.Most of the ruins are reconstructed and gives an idea about Roman’ glorious times. If you ever visit Ephesus, I suggest you to see Terrace Houses , where the rich were living and houses are decorated with beautiful mosaics and frescoes from 3rd c AD.If you want to add a spiritual break , thats House of Virgin Mary is there. It is believed that she was taken by St. John the apostle to there.Another place you must see Ephesus Museum.. Forget all that boring museums you have seen . While guiding , I explain the most interesting artifacts , including original staue of Artemis. BTW. did you know that one of seven wonders of ancient world was located there? Well… not so much left , but it is still worth to be seen. If you ever visit Kusadasi,and want to have private tour, please feel free to contact with me ! I am very happy to answer your questions and customize your trip to Ephesus. Please visit my website,not only for Ephesus trip but also to get an idea about my beloved country Turkey/Turkiye. You can see different types of tours that I organize. Archaeological , culinary or lets customize your tour to Turkey together!! luxurytoursofturkey.com/
