I really love your blog and pictures. It’s so cool to find another blogger who loves to travel and design too. I love your elegant design on the logo and the card, great job!

It was great to show you all of the places we fell in love with.

dontliveinCro – I understand living here and especially trying to run a business can be hard. Like I said in this post, I am sure glad I didn’t have to run my own business here. I really do hate how the government throws up so many obstacles towards entrepreneurs – They seem to stop people from doing great things for the country. And yes, much of the population seems to be complacent and stuck in the past. Still, I’ve met some amazing people here who are smart and driven. I think it just might take a few generations for things to change.

Lisa – I’m so glad you like the t-shirt. And thank you for the compliments. I’m glad you are enjoying my stories.

Lori – Thanks for the shout out and kind words!

I wish it wasn’t a limited time thing and could have got one for myself 🙂 You are very talented and very lucky to have all the adventures that you are having. We love to read about them all so blog on…..

I think its time to leave here as well and take my business with me. Apologies if this sounds like a rant, but what I state above is my official verdict of living here and many ex pats as well, maybe not Kelly and Jay as they are a beautiful couple who would/could never slander a place
Enjoy your new adventure and report back to the forum every now and again and let us know how you are getting on

I remember Mom and I discussing several months ago how beautiful, professional and artistic your redesign of Martinis Marchi. Obviously you got your talent from your mom. I also think that you were very lucky and blessed to spend 15 months in such a beautiful country and made friends with people from over all the world. I was blessed that I got to visit you and Jay several times in Croatia.
