After not travelling for many months I am finally on the road again. Early this morning I hopped on a bus that I booked with Flixbus headed for Croatia. I’m very excited to be headed back to Croatia.
Timing is a Funny Thing
It’s stupid really. For weeks I’ve been perfectly healthy then two days before I leave a cold hits me like a truck. Wet cough, plugged and runny nose, the works.
Given the days we are living in I immediately think ” oh no… covid…” So I immediately took an at home test. It was negative, but just to be safe I went to get a PCR test. Surprise! Also negative.
It’s still rough though. With every cough or sniffle I get the weirdest looks. You’d think I was carrying a bomb with how people react. Nope, just a cold.
Zagreb Bus Station
That’s actually where I am as I write this. I had a transfer in Zagreb with an hour-long layover. Is it still a layover when it’s buses or trains rather than flights? Not sure honestly.
I digress though. The next stretch, the final stretch, is the almost 6 hour bus ride to split. In fact… please hold while I catch the bus. I guess I’ll less headed back to Croatia and more here already.
What Will I Be Doing While I’m Here?
This trip is going to be a lot different than the one in 2021. That trip was about visiting a friend in his hometown and dipping my toes in the sea of adventure that is Croatia.
Instead of being based in Korcula I will be based in Split. The last time I was here I became pretty good friends with Aaron. Eh-eh Ron. The owner of Hurricane Hostel. One of my favourite places to stay in Croatia.
I offered to help him out at the hostel so I will be making sure people are respectful after quiet hours. However I have a more exciting task at the hostel. I’m in charge of planning excursions for people staying there.
Essentially I’m taking the hat of a tour guide as I plan different trips that people can sign up for at the hostel. And I have some pretty cool ones in mind. This is one of the biggest reasons I’m headed back to Croatia.
Hopefully I’ll see some of you here!
Stay safe, travel authentically, travel nomadically, and let the world inscribe itself upon you as you inscribe yourself upon it.
