About Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is a stunningly intact walled city on the Adriatic Sea coast of the extreme south of Croatia. Although its population barely exceeds 40,000, it’s one of the most prominent tourist resorts of the Mediterranean and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.

Flight Info

American Airlines

Daily flights (more than one option) to London with connection to Dubrovnik.  $1800 r/t

United Airlines

Options through Frankfurt or Brussels. Return trip has an overnight stay unfortunately. So, would have to get a hotel near the airport in whatever layover city. Fares looking like around $1300, plus cost of hotel for the night which would on average be about $150 per person (assuming each room is $300 for the night)

Montenegro

montenegro

Montenegro is a small Balkan country with rugged mountains, medieval villages and a narrow strip of beaches along its Adriatic coastline. The Bay of Kotor, resembling a fjord, is dotted with coastal churches and fortified towns such as Kotor and Herceg Novi. Durmitor National Park encompasses limestone peaks, glacial lakes, wildlife such as bears and wolves, and 1,300m-deep Tara River Canyon.

Bosnia and Herzegovina bosnia

Located less then 40 km from Dubrovnik (25 miles) Bosnia and Herzegovina is a world of its own, completely different than the coastal area of Dubrovnik Riviera. Limestone hills, small fertile pockets of land following the river flows, flocks of sheep and goats grazing and endless fields of vineyards will capture your imagination.

Celebrating You: A Season of Self-Love and Kindness

The holiday season can be a lot. For some, it’s full of joy and celebrations, while for others, it can feel overwhelming—whether it’s the pressure of year-end deadlines, missing loved ones, or just struggling to connect with the holiday spirit. In my latest blog, I’m focusing on ways to take care of *you*. From enjoying your favorite foods to stepping away from social media or taking yourself out for a quiet moment of peace, sometimes the best gift you can give is the gift of time and care for yourself. It’s also a chance to share kindness with others, even in small ways, which can make a bigger impact than you realize. Wherever this season finds you, I hope the blog offers a little inspiration to make the holidays feel more manageable—and meaningful—in your own way.

Finding Common Ground: Bridging Divides in a Polarized World

Our beliefs and perspectives evolve over time, shaped by our experiences and the changing world around us. This evolution is why open, constructive conversations—especially about divisive topics—are so critical. They allow us to explore our assumptions, challenge our thinking, and grow together, even when we disagree.

Today, I want to explore the concept of the slippery slope—a fear that often emerges in debates about rights and regulations. It’s a concern that touches on issues as varied as gun control, LGBTQ+ rights, and abortion, though people often apply it inconsistently.
