My father worked for 38 years saying he’d travel when he retired. He retired and then kept finding reasons not to go. I watched that happen and promised myself I wouldn’t do the same thing — which is exactly how I ended up standing on a sun-bleached dock in Dubrovnik,…

I’d never traveled alone before this trip. The thought honestly terrified me — no one to split decisions with, no one to blame if something went sideways. That was also exactly the point. So I bought a one-way ferry ticket to Krk and told myself that if I was going…

I found a fare alert on a Thursday afternoon that made absolutely no sense to ignore. By Friday morning I had a ticket and no real plan — which turned out to be the best way to approach the whole thing. The Kvarner Gulf has a way of doing that…

I booked this trip at 11pm on a Tuesday after a meeting where someone used the phrase “synergize our deliverables” for the third time in an hour — my corporate brain needed an escape hatch, and fast. I typed “somewhere beautiful, somewhere with good food, somewhere not here” into a…
