I’m a travel writer and photographer living in Croatia. I’ve written over 500 articles and features for print and on-line publications on a variety of topics, not only travel but also the arts and culture, green living and lifestyle. I’m also a guidebook author and have contributed to Lonely Planet Croatia (2024) and Lonely Planet’s Experience Croatia (2024). Read more about my areas of expertise and skills here.
I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada to Croatian parents and caught the travel bug at a young age. I’ve travelled to over 50 countries and have lived on three continents. Home is currently a stone house in a hilltop village in Istria, Croatia.
