Think Croatia is just a summer escape?​
​
Look a little closer. Beyond the coast are national parks, historic towns, incredible wines, and wide-open spaces that shift beautifully with the seasons. Whether you’re exploring the waterfalls and gorges of Krka National Park or engaging with Zadar’s interactive art installations, Croatia is a destination that goes deeper, any time of year.

It has been a busy, inspiring few weeks of learning and growth in the travel world for me! I’ve just caught my breath after attending two incredible industry conferences back-to-back.
First, my amazing Travel Agent Next Door conference at sea in April, and now just returning from EDGE with the Travel Leaders Network (our travel consortium). I’m so excited to share a few highlights from my time in San Diego now!
I have returned home with a notebook full of new ideas and global connections to help you plan your next great escape.
Let’s get you out there!
