This was my second time visiting Croatia but my first time visiting Dubrovnik. I loved it so much and can't wait to go back hopefully very soon! Croatia will always have a special place in my heart because it's where we got engaged on July 22nd, 2022! Croatia is like Italy's second cousin-- it shares the same maritime border, the Adriatic Sea, has a heavy influence of truffles in its cuisine, and celebrates dolce far niente (the sweetness of doing nothing). For our quick 72-hour trip, we basked in the sun, read good books, got a couples massage, and swam in the sea as many times as we could! Croatia was once part of the Roman Republic and, much later in history, part of Yugoslavia. It has a brutal history of war specifically its most recent civil war resulting in its independence from Yugoslavia which took place from 1991 to 1995. This rich but tragic history has shaped Croatians and their culture into what it is today. Many locations across Dubrovnik and Split were used for filming the hit TV show, Game of Thrones. There are lots of tours offered to see the various locations but you certainly don't have to be a Game of Thrones fanatic to visit Dubrovnik, Croatia. We didn't meet one Croatian who had watched the show themselves just like ourselves. Croatia has over 1000 islands with crystal clear water and pebbly beaches for a fraction of the price compared to its neighbors. It's what initially drew me to visit this country along the Balkan peninsula. Here's everything we did throughout our 3-day trip in Dubrovnik plus a few additional recommendations.

If you're feeling the call to embark on a journey of self-discovery during your next adventure, consider the mystical path of a Balinese healer in Bali. These revered individuals are renowned for their profound ability to mend physical ailments, wounded souls, and frayed spirits. Their popularity has surged with the global rise of holistic wellness trends, drawing seekers from far and wide to their sacred healing rituals. Balinese culture is deeply interwoven with a unique belief system that encompasses every facet of daily life, including the pursuit of health and well-being. Here, seekers of healing tread a dual path, seeking guidance from modern professionals such as medical doctors and psychologists and revered traditional healers known as 'balian.' The balian, regarded as vessels of potent healing power, hold a revered place in the hearts of the Balinese people. In the eyes of the Balinese, the balian is a living conduit between earthly and spiritual realms. They are often depicted as modern-day shamans, village healers, or spiritual doctors, harnessing their knowledge of esoteric wisdom, meditative practices, and the ancient lore of medicinal plants. These extraordinary beings are not merely healers; they serve as intermediaries, bridging the realms of the living and the departed, offering solace and guidance in times of spiritual turbulence. In moments of spiritual need, the balian is the trusted guide who calls upon divine forces to restore harmony. If you're in search of a balian healer with a specialized focus, whether it be the relief of migraines, the healing of a wounded heart, the restoration of physical ailments, or the dispelling of lingering love enchantments, I offer you a curated list of the most esteemed balians, held in high regard by the locals themselves.
