So long as you like the idea of a fast and fun speedboat experience that basically feels like a day-long party, I recommend the 5 Islands & Blue Cave tour from GetYourGuide. Once you arrive in the old city of Dubrovnik, you won’t be able to stop marveling at all of the medieval architecture, feeling like you’ve stepped into a time capsule. If you don’t end up taking a boat tour that lets you visit islands like Hvar and Korcula, make sure you set aside a day to visit them by bus or ferry. Even if you aren’t an ocean lover or wine enthusiast, a visit to Edvivo is surely a once in a lifetime experience; after all, isn’t that what we’re

For example, we tried to “create our own salads” at a restaurant in Dubrovnik that didn’t offer this option, but we felt like having salads, and weren’t feeling enticed by the salad ingredients on their menu. When the weather didn’t work in our favor the day we were supposed to visit Krka National park, a big plan on our bucket list, we were able to find a beautiful hiking area called Jardin with two beautiful beaches to explore. If you’re traveling from the US, it’s unlikely you’ll find many direct flights to a country like Croatia. If you are planning to travel internationally to ANY country during these times, make sure that you are willing to treat travel like a person that you love unconditionally- appreciating them all the same at their best and worst.

Growing up in Key West, I can’t count the number of times I drove by signs for restaurants, hotels and things to do in the Upper Keys, and didn’t think twice about them! Though the Keys have an abundance of wonderful places to stay, it wasn’t as easy to find ones that were in our price range and met our criteria for a dog friendly resort. The Best Eats in the Upper Keys Mangrove Mike’s is a great place to stop for breakfast/ lunch if you happen to be in Islamorada. With rustic outdoor seating, delicious seafood, Sunset views and live music, Lorelei’s is a must-make bucket list stop to truly get a taste of life in the Keys.

I think it would be hard to say one country alone is more aesthetically pleasing than all the others (especially considering all the others I have yet to see) but for me, it’s also hard to imagine a place possibly being more beautiful than Switzerland. I try to encourage people to stray away from cliches and Paris has always seemed like the typical dream destination for most people, and this explains it’s usual overflow of tourism. And that is why I don’t like tourist traps, (in addition to my never-ending need to feel unique and like things out of the ordinary) However, even after being played by that gypsy, almost every other moment in Paris felt like a dream. to it’s vast and captivating mountain ranges and vibrant lakes in the South Island, exploring this country felt like I was living in a dream I never wanted to wake up from.
