DOBRODOŠLI! – Welcome to Croatia!
Are you a world traveler, gourmand, and oenophile? If your answer is yes, then this is the perfect journey for you! Food sheds light on people's way of life, their cultural values, and their perspectives on life. It has a way of bringing people together! But how it can be so powerful? If you think about it there are 5 senses used when tasting food and drink. First, you’ll look at it with eyes, then you smell it, touch it and taste it...and you’ll listen to it, right! Whenever we interact with food, our senses are awakened – which means that experiencing food while you're traveling will increase the intensity of the memories built! How beautiful is that! We all travel to experience another culture and to learn something, yet we often end up spending our time in a ‘touristy’ area. It’s important to visit main tourist attractions, but essential to interact with locals to get a true experience of one destination. If we are not spending longer time in a destination, it’s hard to get to know everyday life and this is where the food plays its roll. It is one of the best ways to experience a new destination, get to know the culture and local people. It is an essential part of life and community, there’s no authentic travel experience without it. Local Cuisine gives people an identity – recipes and cooking techniques are passed down from generation to generation. It’s an insight into the history, we learn traditions and societal norms. Lastly, it’s a great opportunity to learn another language – different ways of sayings to open a meal and thank for it your host. Knowing local phrases will not only help you immerse in the culture and built quite a hefty vocabulary but also locals will certainly appreciate it. It’s the moments when we interact with locals that we remember the most, once we get around the table with newly formed friends, open conversation, and share food & good wine! Moreover, positively interacting with locals can promote sustainable tourism by creating mutual understanding between both local residents and visitors! We invite you to join us on this unique trip by land by sea - hosted by Lisa Albert, an American with a Croatia heart, Ines Palac and Goran Kovacevic – both born and raised Croatian. We’ll take you to our favorite places! On a daily basis, you’ll enjoy gourmet star restaurants, the best wineries in the country, and local taverns (off the beaten path) that you would never visit on your own. It’s an unparalleled journey! Welcome aboard! HIGHLIGHTS: SPLIT – BRAČ ISLAND (PUČIŠĆA, ŠKRIP, BOL) – STARI GRAD – HVAR – KORČULA ISLAND – PELJEŠAC PENINSULA (STON & SLANO) – DUBROVNIK
