There is no doubt that Croatia is a beautiful destination, packed with an interesting history and culture waiting to be explored. Luckily, it’s not too difficult to pack light for a trip to Croatia. I managed to pack for a month of backpacking through Croatia in my trusty 48L REI carry-on backpack. I made a lot of stops during the journey through Croatia but a...

You may have heard of the popular Plitvice Lakes National Park in central Croatia, but if you are visiting the Dalmatia region along the coast it can be quite the lengthy day trip to get there. The alternative? Visit Krka National Park, Croatia’s lesser known but no less beautiful gem of a park. It’s an easy day trip from Split, only about an hour drive away...

Along the coast in the Dalmatia region of Croatia sits a town called Šibenik (pronounced shi-beh-nick). With 42,000 inhabitants, it’s about the same size as Dubrovnik but much less popular. Being the big city that it is and the oldest native Croatian city on the Adriatic Sea, you would think it would be more well-known. It was even the first city in Croatia to have electricity! We stopped...

Perched upon a hill overlooking the Rocky Mountains...

More than anything, time and money seem to be the top two excuses holding many people back from traveling. We’ll save time for another day, but in this article we are talking about money — and how you don’t need loads of it to...

All year round, we find ways to get outside in Boulder. In the dead of winter we will sometimes have a 60 or 70 degree (Fahrenheit) day where people will head out for a jog, hike, or bike ride. During the snowy days, getting outside for some sort of winter sport is a must. Even after skiing, snowboarding, or any other winter activity, you might find people...

Sometimes a city takes your breath away and you stare in awe at the life, culture, and colors surrounding you. The small towns and villages are usually the ones that get me… but Split was different. As the second largest city in Croatia right behind Zagreb, the city is a popular transport hub if you are traveling around Croatia. If you are passing through, it’s...

During my trip around Croatia, I had a tough call to make. I needed to decide if I would head north to Istria or south to Dubrovnik for my last week. In the end, I decided on Dubrovnik because I know I want to spend longer than a single week traveling around Istria. I think I made the right decision in heading south, but I made the wrong...
