Croatia

regional manager
One more paycheck and I'm gone
No
south east asia, australia, nz, polynesia, central america, europe
i always wanted to visit central america. now i work in HKG saving money for trip and go back to europe. i actually realized that my trip to central america should be via pacific and i should take more time
since i am croatian passport holder i need visa for many countries on the way, so i just hope that i would not have any problems with it
1 year ago i was living in croatia (most people don't even know where is it!). just for fun, i applied for job in Hong Kong, although i had nice, steady life in croatia. completely unexpected, company decided to employ me - it took me 2 weeks to accpet job proposal in HKG, settle my old job and get on plane - it was a bit crazy but challenging. i never even went to asia before! so, my family knows that i am adventure addict
Planning is for tourists
backpack with swiss knife, torch light, first aid kit, sunblock, hat, bikini and 20 pcs of clothes
i don't think about it because i have no idea what it will bring
i just want to enjoy moment by moment
it took me 1 year living in hong kong to realize what kind of life i don't want
i have most of the THINGS that many people would like to have. all of this can be taken away somehow, but nobody can take away my memories about picking up shells on the beach with my friend on Zanzibar
there is no myth - you just have to want to do it
because i come from small country where everything i love to do is not socially acceptable - so, why should i live in cage all the time? i have to fly away sometimes
do it and you'll never regret
