Past Adventures: Dubrovnik

05/15/13 | bucket list, Croatia, Europe, Past Adventures, Travel

One country I never thought, growing up, to add to my bucket list was Croatia.  This European country is nestled between Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina to the East of Italy (don’t worry, I had to look it up on a map too!) and is absolutely beautiful.  These photos are from my visit to the popular coastal city of Dubrovnik.   
To be more specific, I had the opportunity to see what some call the “Pearl of the Adriatic”, the United Nations World Heritage Site of Old City of Dubrovnik. The guide books and locals are quick to point out the intricate combination of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles of architecture throughout Old Town but the beauty of this coastal city is what spoke to me. 

The city is absolutely beautiful and I was so sad when I had to leave!

    With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism
    or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of unique
    content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help stop content from being ripped off? I’d certainly appreciate it.

    My bf and I were SO SAD we didn’t have the money to make it to Dubrovnik. luckily, we just had enough to get to plitvice lakes for a daytrip (which were so amazing) but it was just a taste of the amazingness croatia had to offer. I definitely want to go back!
