We are so honored to be nominated by Croatia National Tourism last week for their annual Golden Pen Award in the category for travel blogger ~ one of 18 international colleagues to be nominated and only 2 from the U.S.

They were going to fly me out for festivities and a ceremony with other media in May but sadly we are already traveling during this time. Looking to explore one of our favorite islands? Don’t miss Hvar in Croatia.

Use your time wisely in Hvar and check out our favorite finds in our latest Croatia article:
