Croatia - It's Now On My Travel Destination List


Whenever someone asks me where I would like to travel to, it always has to be Europe. I can't really pinpoint exactly why, but that's probably just it. There's something about Europe that intrigues you, there's so much to see, and the architecture is simply magnificent.




But even then, even in Europe, the only places I'd like to travel to are Paris or anywhere in France for that matter, Dublin (because of the many memories), London, Liverpool (because I'm a Liverpool fan), Spain, and Italy. Not to say I don't fancy travelling anywhere else, but these places are at the top of my list.


So how did Croatia come into the picture?


I googled places to travel and came across Lonely Planet. And scrolling down the page, I came across Photo of the Day on the website.




Plitvice National Park

A beautiful, emerald green lake, surrounded by luscious green forest captivated my view. I have never seen such wondrous beauty. Never in my life, have I seen something so divine as that single photo. And so I clicked on the photo to find out more about this beautiful lake.

It took me to 'Croatia Gallery', which led me to believe the lake was somewhere in Croatia (I'm a genius, I know) and there were more photos taken from all over Croatia and they were all as beautiful as the lake.

















Croatia is like a beautiful fairy tale. Whenever you imagine Beauty and the Beast, Snow White or Rapunzel, you can imagine Croatia being the backdrop for all these magical tales.



And you want to relive your childhood memories of reading these wonderful fairy tales, where anything can happen, where magic constantly floats in the air, and happy endings will always come for those who wait and those who strive for it.


Just looking at the photos, you can already imagine yourself being a part of the magic. You are the Cinderella and you will find your Prince Charming here. Being a hopeless romantic, it all seems believable. And yes, I hope to go to Croatia one day, to re-live the childhood magic I once knew.
