If you care more about the nature and<br />
sightseeing than spending your vacation on<br />
the beach, I’d re<strong>com</strong>mend visiting Croatia<br />
in April and May, during springtime, as the<br />
nature is blooming everywhere!<br />
What advice would you give to tourists<br />
when dealing with locals?<br />
As a language and travel enthusiast myself,<br />
my first advice is always to learn the basic<br />
words in the language of the country<br />
where you’re going! That is so simple and<br />
easy to do, and it opens so many doors<br />
and the locals will stop seeing you just as<br />
a passing tourist and start seeing you as a<br />
person who has a deeper appreciation of<br />
their country. Naturally, they will feel your<br />
friendliness and enthusiasm and will treat<br />
you with even more hospitality, so you will<br />
get an “insider” experience of Croatia! I<br />
teach Croatian language online, so make<br />
sure to contact me if you’d like to learn<br />
some Croatian! Other than that, be friendly<br />
and patient, as sometimes Croatian people<br />
tend to be stubborn and grumpy (but<br />
usually not towards tourists). It’s always<br />
good to prepare yourself on time, so watch<br />
my videos to find out all about Croatia, it’s<br />
currency and similar things important for<br />
tourists.<br />
One thing that isn’t very well known<br />
is Croatian cuisine, what is a typical<br />
Croatian dish?<br />
If you are <strong>com</strong>ing to the coast, you must try<br />
fish and seafood, it’s amazing, tasty and so<br />
fresh! There is a large variety of seafood,<br />
fish, shrimp and shells with pasta, rice or<br />
gnocchi. As a seaside dish, I would mention<br />
dagnje na buzaru.<br />
Croatia has excellent quality of meat<br />
and cheese, too. You should try some<br />
prosciutto, with sheep cheese, olives and<br />
olive oil.<br />
Typical meat dishes are also: čevapčići,<br />
ražnjići, sarma and gulaš. For desserts I’d<br />
re<strong>com</strong>mend štrukli, fritule, međimurska<br />
gibanica, rožata.<br />

What does the future hold for<br />
Croatian Experience with Sanda?<br />
The future is very bright for Croatian<br />
Experience with Sanda, as bright as<br />
the Croatian summer sunshine! I have<br />
a great enthusiasm for my project and<br />
am putting up the website for making<br />
information more presentable and<br />
easier to find. I plan to expand and<br />
reach more people with quality<br />
content.<br />
People who want to get more<br />
involved can support me on Patreon,<br />
where they will get more insider<br />
information and exclusive content<br />
such as live Q&A’s.<br />
I believe that people need to be<br />
connected by travelling to countries<br />
where they haven’t been yet, to<br />
learn about each other’s customs,<br />
language and culture. Everybody<br />
gains - the visitors broaden their own<br />
life experience and knowledge, as do<br />
the locals who host them.<br />
I believe that <strong>com</strong>munication via<br />
internet, social platforms and travel<br />
enable us to be closer than we could<br />
have ever imagined, to appreciate<br />
and together take care of this<br />
wonderful planet we all live on.<br />
