Is Croatia Safe for Solo Travelers in 2023?

One of the first questions solo travelers ask is whether or not a country is safe to visit. Croatia is no exception, but you might be surprised at just how safe Croatia is for solo travelers and solo female travelers. I draw from my own experience as a solo female traveler visiting Croatia for two months, as well as recent safety data on Croatia.

Zagreb Cafés often have branded coffee cups, like the one here in Kavana Palinovka, with a painting of a woman with rainbow hair. A water glass is visible on the table, and in the background, yellow walls and patrons are visible

Zagreb Cafés and Café Culture (with Map)

Zagreb’s café culture is one of Europe’s best, rivaling that of Paris and Vienna. This post includes an overview of Zagreb café culture as well as several of my favorite Zagreb cafés from around the city. Use the detailed map on the go and in planning your trip!

Valparíso, Chile: A Day Trip Full of Street Art and Poetry

Valparíso, Chile, is a feast for the eyes, and filled with poetry for the soul. The glory of this historic port city, once the one of the wealthiest cities in South America, has faded, but the vibrant street art scene, born out of resistance to the brutal right-wing Pinochet regime, makes this a must-do day trip if you find yourself in Santiago. Updated post with info for solo female travel, a detailed map to help you get where you need to go, and video to inspire your trip!

Spring Recipes Roundup: Dishes for a New Season

about-me-image
Welcome to Wonder & Sundry! Travel, Eat, and Live the good life, right here, right now!
It's Maple Weekend in New Hampshire! I visited Windswept Maples and watched them boil maple sap into sweet, sweet maple syrup. And then got to taste some! The farm animals were delightful. A lovely afternoon in the country. Maple Weekend continues through Sunday. 🍁

I'm reading Saving Time, by Jenny Odell and am thinking a lot about how we humans have constructed time. She writes early on in the book about the move to standardized 24-hour time in the 19th century, and I keep flashing back to this oddity in Split, Croatia. ⁠
⁠
The Pjaca clock tower looks at first glance like any other charming old clock tower gracing a European Old Town. On second glance, you notice that it's a 24-hour clock. The clock face dates back to the 16th century (the bell tower is considerably older, and the gate to which it is adjacent to dates back to the Romans). It now sits over a touristy square, still regulating time.⁠
⁠
I have a personal writing project that's really about time, or moments simultaneously stuck in the past and ever-present, and all I keep thinking about is how time is such a funny thing, isn't it?
A quiet afternoon at the Laconia Public Library. I love this old study room; it's become a favorite "spot" during my time in New Hampshire. The stained glass windows look out onto birch trees and the old train station. It feels a bit like stepping back in time. ⁠
⁠
Do you have favorite spots for concentrating when you need a change of scene?⁠
⁠
I've been a bit quiet here on Instagram for the past few weeks. I'm working on updating Wonder & Sundry, and while  I'm looking forward to sharing it with you, it's definitely a project! In the meantime, I'm also thinking about what this Instagram space could be. ⁠
⁠
I'd love to get to know you better. And, since one way to do that is to actually show one's face on this app, I want to work on showing mine a little more. Not the best selfie (you can see the same stained glass in my glasses), and my hair's interesting, but hi! Nice to see you. ⁠
⁠
How are you this fine Saturday? What are you up to?⁠
⁠
More soon.
What are you doing to show yourself some love this Valentine's Day? Champagne? Fancy chocolates? A long bath or a massage? Maybe getting dinner and a movie? ⁠
⁠
Personally, I'm a fan of dark chocolate and scary movies, a tradition that goes back about 20 years. If you have a favorite horror movie I should add to my list, let me know!⁠
⁠
From bubbles and baubles to taking yourself out on a date, check out my post, linked in the usual spot for ideas on how to be your own Valentine!⁠
⁠
⁠
Ice Castles in New Hampshire's White Mountains is a little bit of magic in winter. Have you been? So delightful! Check out the link in my bio for everything you need to visit!

Happy Friday! What brightened your days this week? Ice Castles in New Hampshire's White Mountains on Wednesday topped my week. Have you ever been? So whimsical!⁠
⁠
Otherwise, it was fairly quiet here, especially with the frigid temperatures last weekend. I'm glad we aren't repeating that nonsense.⁠
⁠
We took grapefruit to new heights with just about the easiest recipe you'll ever try and discovered the best cafés to work from in Split, Croatia.⁠
⁠
Check out these posts and what I'm reading these days in my latest recap post. Link in the usual spot. I'd love to hear what you're looking forward to this weekend. ⁠
