Above: Stunning Korčula. Text from Katy before we left Washington, "I think Korčula is going to be a fav for sure. It gives me Hallstatt vibes ... special, idyllic and swoony!"
SAY "ZDRAVO" TO DR. ROSS AND EVA!
Ross and Eva are accomplished world travelers. They are on this tour with friends Dave and Linda whom they met on the Best of Scandinavia Rick Steves Tour. The couples enjoyed each other's company so much, they planned a trip together! Prior travels include Rick Steves Guidebook directed adventures (before the My Way program) as a family to France, Italy, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. They have also attended one of the annual January Travel Reunions in Edmonds and attended the annual L.A. Travel Show to hear Rick speak. |
What we love about Rick Steves Tours: Traveling with similar minded people; being a temporary local; small family-owned restaurants; non-chain boutique hotels; free half-days with options; awesome guides.
Favorite Rick Steves Tour: Best of Scandinavia in 14 Days Best Travel Tip: Pack light (enough for 1 week) and do laundry in the middle of the trip. Next Big Travel Adventure: African safari! (With Dave and Linda, of course!) |

1950 The year the Hjaduk soccer fan club was formed. In Split, you'll see 1950 proudly graffitied all over town! Klapa (which translates as "group of friends") singers
perform in Diocletian's vestibule, Split. So achingly beautiful. FUN FACT! Klapa music is designated on the UNESCO list as an intangible heritage of humanity. |
