Today we bring you something totally different than our usual posts. Paula and Gordy of Contented Traveller share with us a story about Australian classic dish – the Aussi pie floater. Enjoy it!

You love writing, you love traveling, and you would like to start your own blog. You just aren’t sure where to start. We’ve already written a bit about what it means to be a blogger. And how we decided to start our own blog.

You know we decided to do this week a Valentine’s Day themed SundayTraveler. At first I thought on cheating it with a really old post about our visit to Korta Katarina Winery. You are probably thinking what a visit to the winery has to do with a Valentine’s Day

“So you think we should start a blog“, I asked Vera. We’ve been flirting with the idea of having our own blog for a while. But between the renovation of our old house, my freelance translation business, everyday cooking & houseworks, I haven’t had much time for blogging. We took a road trip to Amsterdam

I’ve been contacted recently by HiFX to contribute to their expat tips campaign by providing a tip that can be beneficial for future expats. I couldn’t decide on just one, and just wrote a bunch of them instead.

Recently I got an offer to review Bluffer’s Guide to Cycling. It seemed like an exciting opportunity. Look, I am just starting this whole blogging staff. And the fact that somebody just paid attention to me made me feel like a rock star.

Istria Experience is a web portal and one-stop shop for the best experiences that Istria has to offer.  Launched just a month ago, Istria Experience offers to its visitors hand-picked Tours, Attractions & Things to Do.

ATP Croatia Open Umag, now at its 24th edition, is the oldest and the most popular tennis tournament in Croatia. It is part of ATP World Tour 250 series. ATP Croatia Open Umag takes place in a small resort town of Umag, in north-west Istria. This ATP tournament has always been famous,

Festivals in Croatia seem to increase in number every year. In the past few years, Croatia is set to become one of the hot party destinations. Frank just thought that there are quiet few festivals in Croatia going on in 2013. He didn’t update you on that fact. Thus the moment has arrived as some

This year, 20 Istrian winemakers are featured in prestigious Italian Wine Guide – Vinibuoni.  This is the first time Istrian wines were examined and presented in Vinibuoni Guide. Until 2012, the guide featured exclusively Italian wines and winemakers.

Vinistra, an international wine exhibition, is the official start of May Wine Madness in Istria. It is followed by Open Wine Cellars Day. Throughout the May, Istria celebrates wine, with series of events dedicated to this drink of the gods. Vinistra 2012 will be held in Porec, in sports hall Zatika, on the second weekend

If you are thinking about spending Valentine’s Day in Croatia, here you will find a list of hotel offers prepared for this special occasion. Most of the hotels offer weekend break from 10th to 12th February. So if you wish to surprise your loved one, here is the list of offers Frank handpicked for you.

Frank decided to tell you a bit about New Year 2012 in Croatia. Not that Frank cares much about that particular day in the year. Unless when it happens in the middle of the week, and Frank can enjoy some time off the work. Than it is nice. But this year it is not the

Our first neighbors are English. One of the thing they asked us after spending their first summer in Croatia was: What is happening with Croatians and the Jazz? This question regarded jazz madness invading Croatian coast every summer. This made me think…. how Croatians moved from Fisherman Parties including free mackerels, cheap wine and folk

We were away for a week. We went to Amsterdam. Stayed at Rho hotel. We loved the location, loved the staff. Didn’t like the smell of the room.

Restaurant Mare e Monti by Kukuriku was Frank’s last in a row for Restaurant Week 2011. Mare e Monti by Kukuriku in Stella Maris Holiday Village near Umag offered definitely the best food Frank had during the Restaurant Week. And it is the only one where Frank will not go back. Ever. Despite excellent food (Chef, Chapeau!), stunning setting (seafront terrace) and really good wine list.

This wine bar is permanently closed! Wine Bar Tinja was a second in the row during the Restaurant Week. This place, in my opinion, is a real bijou. Located in Sikici, at the outskirts of Pula, the place was extremely hard to find. Equipped with GPS and without a worry, we ended up in the

We started Restaurant Week with a visit to Le Mandrac restaurant in Volosko. Volosko is a small, fishing village close to Opatija. We’ve already written about Konoba Tramerka, another great place to eat in Volosko. Anyway, not being the subject of this post at the moment. I want to share my experience on Le Mandrac

I am really excited about the upcoming Restaurant Week Croatia 2011. The idea is to promote the restaurant scene in Croatia and to get people to go to the restaurants.
