I have not traveled anywhere in over 20 years. Before I stopped traveling, I had visited different cities in the USA and two countries: The Bahamas and Mexico. Those are the only 2 places I have been outside of America. But that has never stopped me from dreaming of places I would love to visit outside of America.
The short title for my bucket list is “Dream Travel Destinations”. The full title of my list is “Places I Will Only Ever Visit In My Dreams”.
Croatia is a country on my bucket list of Dream Travel Destinations.
Why Croatia?
Well, for one thing, their flag is the same colors as the USA: red, white, and blue.
The other reason is that I’ve seen photographs of this country and the scenery is incredibly beautiful.
Here is a fun fact that I just learned about Croatia. I would not have known this because … I know everybody will gasp in shock when I say this … but I’ve never seen a single episode of “Game of Thrones”. Yes I know this drama series is immensely popular and that everybody watches it faithfully, they know all of the characters, they understand the story line, etc. But uuhh … yeah! I missed that fantasy fan boat.
Now I’m a tad bit upset with myself because I found out that many of the filming locations for the Game of Thrones were in Croatia! That means that I could have visited Croatia, the land in my dreams, possibly every time an episode was aired. But all is not lost. Saw an advertisement that said a person would stream free episodes. Perhaps I’ll put GoT on my “Binge-Watch List”.
SAD NOTE MARCH 22, 2020: News reports on this date indicated that Croatia has not only been affected by the COVID-19 virus but also by an earthquake. So not only am I dreaming of Croatia but praying for the people as well. No doubt the citizens of this lovely country want to resume the lifestyle they had which made me dream of one day visiting them.

People in #Croatia were directed to remain in their homes because of #COVID-19, And then 5.3 magnitude #earthquake struck this morning and they have been directed to evacuate their homes. It’s 4 degrees Celsius outside. They’re scared to be inside or out.#PrayForCroatia ?ﾟﾘﾪ? pic.twitter.com/aBd0h3D8TK— womenofrubies.com (@EstherIjewere) March 22, 2020
Croatia has a history of devastating earthquakes. Perhaps the most devastating earthquake ever to strike our lands was the one in 1667 which completely destroyed the city of Dubrovnik and killed approx. half of its citizens (estimates vary between 3000-5000 casualties).#history pic.twitter.com/M2356xxzHz— Bročki (@RIllyricum) March 22, 2020
