"Travel with me" croisbeauty's Profile

Thank God winter is over

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"
Confucious
Since I am more than two years now on this site, you may call me VT addicted. Before joining to VT, I used to take family snapshoots only when traveling, all the sudden it has completely changed. Now I am trying to capture the scenes and the objects which might be of interest to other people too. Would like to know your experience about too.
As most of you here, I love travelling, to meet people and to make new friends. Besides, my preferences are sports (was a basketball player), history, good music (rock n'roll of course), photography, art, fresh seafood and sorted wines.

My nick name is CRO(atia)ISBEAUTY(ful country)

I dislike: toad-eaters, bottom-dwelers, dictators, liars, flatterers, limitations, falseness, intolerance, ....If you are not one of these characters, lets be friends.

More than thirty years now my hometown is Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, small country situated in the middle of Europe. Although so small it has a lot of attractions and the most beautiful sea-shore in whole the Mediterranean area.

"CVJETOVI ZLA"

Neprijatelj

Moja mladost mrkla olujina bjese,
Suncima tek gdjekad svijetlim obasjana,
Pustos vrtu mome gromovi nanijese,
I malo mi osta voca neubrana.

Jesen misli, eto, vec dodirnu mene,
Lopate se latit valja, koja zape,
Da zivotu vratim zemlje poplavljene,
Gdje rupe duboke ko grobovi zjape.

Tko zna, da l' ce novo cvijece mojih snova
Naci na tlu, golom poput pjescanika,
Sok okrepe tajne za cvjetanja nova?

O boli! O boli! Vrijeme zivot grabi,
A Netko nam srce glodje, mracna lika,
I krijepi se nasom krvlju, koja slabi!

Charles Baudelaire

FOE

My youth stormy darkness was,
Sunshine brightness rarely lit,
Waste my gardens by thunder made
And little fruit it bore me.

Autumn thinks, there, they touched me already,
Shovel in your hand to get, put your back to it,
To life return flooded soil,
Where craters, deep as graves, stare at me.

Who knows, will the blossoms of my dreams
On soil, barren as desert,
Find secrets that feed flowers new?

Oh pain! Oh pain! Time snatches at life
And some dark shadow eats at our hearts,
And revives with our blood, leaving no strength.

Charles Baudelaire

From Kenya with love

Me and Maasai warriors

See my Kenya page:
Kenya
I am in love with Kenya, definatelly. It is said, once you visit Africa you will fall in love with it, and it's the truth. This year, 2011 is the first time after 2006 that I didn't visit Kenya, unfortunatelly had neck injury and couldn't travel there.
Kenya is wonderful place to visit because of its fabulous nature resorts, number of stunning safari parks but above all because of nice and friendly people who live there. It is poor country but the people there have great spirit and warm heart.

Exploring Tunisia

Medenine

See my TUNISIA page:
Tunisia
I spend my 2004 and 2005 summer holidays in Tunisia, beautiful country especially the hinterland with fascinating Sahara.

Venezia - Regatta Storica

Regatta Storica

See my Venezia page:

Venezia
The town for strong feelings, you love it or you hate it! My problem is, I don't hate it but I don't like it, still I have to admit it, Venice is very exiting city, especially first Sunday in September when Regatta Storica take place.

Dubrovnik

See my Dubrovnik page:
dubrovnik
I've visited many places, much more then you can see on my travel list, here you can see only those of which I have photos. Anyway, Dubrovnik is to me the most beautiful town I have ever seen. In case you find I am as a Croat too subjective, visit it and then tell me that am wrong.

Milano - Santa Maria delle Grazie

Santa Maria delle Grazie

See my Milano page:
milano
Milano is one of the most undarrated touristic destinations of Italy, by making this page I wanted to proof how wrong is that opinion.

Perugia

Perugia, Piazza Maggiore

See my Perugia page:
perugia
Do not miss Perugia between July 10-30, each year. There is a great Umbria Jazz Festival with top world musicisians, and the atmosphere in the town is absolutely superb.

Firenze

Ponte Vecchio

See my Florence page:
florence
For many people it is the most beautiful town in whole of the world and a must see when visiting Italy. Besides enormous cultural heritage Florence offers very relaxed atmosphere, good food, excellent wines and above all, beautiful Tuscany dialect to those who speaks Italian.
