I live in Croatia, have a tourism company that is entitled to offer excursions to tourists but want to know is there anything to stop me organizing tours? I want to be able to take people to attractions simply as their escort with out passing myself ...

Croatian rules, confusing? :lol: Sorry, I can't help you, only empathize with your frustration. It's even more confusing when locals themselves just go ahead and operate "in the black" Read More

Attitude to Dogs by fidobsa

Earlier this year I got my first dog, Charlie, who is an elderly Basset Hound. I had been thinking of getting a dog for some years but where I lived in Scotland was a very busy road and I was worried about safety. Charlie is a rescue dog who had ...

I traveled to Croatia from the US with my rescue dog George for years, and he was treated like a beloved guest. I haven't returned since he died, and people probably won't recognize me without him! :lol: Over the years, some local rules changed - ... Read More

If you happen to visit Serbia and buy a t-shirt there, you might be told not to wear it in Dalmatia (it's happened to me) If you're gay, it's probably best to hide it. Maybe this is not a big issue in Zagreb, but it still is in Split.it is not an ... Read More
