My Croatian journey began over 20 years ago, in 2004, when I moved here and fell in love with the landscapes, culture, and people. After a long career as an entrepreneur, I decided to shift gears in 2024 and pursue my passion for travel and storytelling. Armed with my GoPros, I’m setting out to do what I once did between 2005 and 2012—travel across Croatia and its neighboring countries. Back then, I captured photos and wrote about the places I visited.

My YouTube channel is dedicated to showcasing Croatia’s and the neighboring countries’ unique charm. This country isn’t just a tourist destination—it’s an incredible place to live and thrive.

I first visited Medulin in 2009 and have returned many times, mainly as part of my frequent Istria holidays, but I have also stayed there professionally. Medulin is located at the south end of the Istrian Peninsula. Often called the Tip of Istria, Medulin sits just a short drive southeast of Pula, about 10–15 minutes
