1. Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is a beautiful city on the coast of Croatia with cobblestone roads, gelato stands on every corner, and an astonishing wall that can be climbed around the city.

2. The Beaches


The Croatian beaches are surrounded by beautiful mountains and rocks that stretch out into crystal clear water. In some places, there are even islands that are within swimming reach.


3. Mirogoj Cemetery Zagreb


Zagreb is full of many wonderful things to see, but the Mirogoj Cemetery is one beautiful sight to see. Though it may be a resting place for the dead, it is alive with trees, statues and spectacular architecture that encompasses the entire facility.


4. Traditional Balkan Food (Ćevapi)


This traditional dish is one of Croatia’s many delicious meals to offer. Ćevapi is a sausage dish put inside a pita like bread then grilled with olive oils. It is served with onions and cream, which resembles a mixture that resembles something between butter and sour cream. It is one of Croatia’s most popular dishes.


5. Pula


Pula is a marvelous city with great architectural influences from the Roman Empire, as you can probably see. The Arena dates back to 28 BC.


6. Split


Split is the Pearl of the Mediterranean. It is modern, but it also contains so much history as well. There are markets in the city with strawberries the size of a baseball, and in the center of the city, Roman Emperor Diocletian’s Palace still stands today.

7. Croatian Caves

Croatia is known for their caves. There are twenty-one caves in Croatia all varying in different lengths and depth, and most of them are able to be explored.


8. Plitvice Lakes National Park


Plitvice is a beautiful park with extraordinary waterfalls and lakes where families swim in the spring and summer.


9. Dubrovnik Cathedral


If you stop in Dubrovnik, might as well go see this beautiful baroque church with notable art relating back to Saint Blaise when he was the patron saint of the city.

10. Gelato

Gelato stands are put on every corner during warmer seasons. Croatian Gelato is some of the creamiest, most delicious ice cream for so little money.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
