I'm a traveler who writes and a writer who travels. I travel to make a living, I write to travel, I live to take the next trip... Born in Zagreb, Croatia and based in New York since 1999, I've lived, worked and traveled on all the continents, except Antarctica.

Yesterday was a sunny Sunday so my man and I decided to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. This iconic stroll is among my favorite New York City activities"

I just returned from a weeklong journey around Israel. The highlights of the trip are many. While I'm sorting out my impressions – intense on several levels – I thought I'd post some photos from my wanderings around the markets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem."

I spent five days visiting friends in Berlin last week and walked away from the German capital with a conclusion: If I were to move back to the old continent, Berlin would be my city of choice. It's definitely, methinks, the coolest capital in Europe. Thi"

Bora Bora's still on my mind. Words fail to describe the ultimate tropical beauty of this South Seas hideaway so here are a few photos to illustrate."

As soon as I arrived to Croatia in July, I dug out my precious Bosnian connections. In just a couple of days, I had a whole rafting trip arranged for a group of five: yours truly and four high school-era friends from Zagreb."

Last week I made an overnight visit to Ljubljana, the small and delightful capital of Slovenia. An easy 2.5-hour train ride away from Zagreb, my base at the moment, it offered a nice city break. My reasons for the trip were of personal nature but I manage"

It's summertime in Croatia, the most popular time to visit one of the hippest countries in Europe. It's so fashionable, in fact, that I typically try to escape the crowds and trendy locales and head to places out of the way."

I just returned from a three-day getaway in Istria with a friend and her four-year-old daughter. We based ourselves in Rovinj, known as the peninsula's most beautiful seaside town."

Exactly a week has passed since I arrived to the island of Korčula in the southern Adriatic"

A week ago, I returned (sans swine flu) from a five-day stay at the newly opened Banyan Tree Mayakoba in Mexico, the first North American property of this Singapore-based hotel chain."

I've got Morocco running around my mind today, thoughts harking back to my trip back in 2003. It could be the hot spring air coming from the streets of Brooklyn into my sun-drenched apartment."

It was in dusty Vientiane – perhaps the most provincial of all the capitals I've seen – that we hooked up with a friend of mine from New York who was backpacking around southeast Asia."

The supposed job of a travel writer is to tell stories of travel, to bring faraway journeys close to home, to capture experiences in a vivid way."

How does one sum up one lone day in a city you never visited before? A tough task."

In the winter of 2006, I visited the island of St Lucia in the West Indies. Today, as I watched the colorful sunset from my Brooklyn apartment, an evening on a terrace in St Lucia came to me."

Among a variety of things I loved about my five-day visit to Barbados, a highlight stands out..."

I love to eat at African restaurants so I thought I'd tell you about a couple of my New York favorites."

In the winter of 2007, I spent three months living in Buenos Aires. However much I love that city, one of the fondest memories of my South American sojourn was a trip to Cabo Polonio, a magical village on the eastern coast of Uruguay."

This time, it was Todos Santos, a magical little town about 45 miles north of Cabo San Lucas, a place that a Los Angeles-based friend of mine had raved about. What I heard was - artsy vibe, laid-back energy and great surfing waves. And all was true."

Patagonia has been on my mind the last couple of days. Perhaps it was sparked by the email I received from a friend requesting travel tips..."

In recent months, I've received a number of emails from friends and friends of friends looking for advice on honeymooning in Croatia..."
