Europe

Sitges is a stunning place. It's a nice, calm contrast to busy Barcelona, yet only a quick ride away.
The historical city is beautiful at every turn, and the beach makes for a gorgeous visit.

I've been to Barcelona a handful of times and always find new things to do. I love the sunny weather, and the vibrant energy of the city. The food and wine scene is incredible, and best of all - Barcelona is so well-connected as an international hub.
The biggest challenge in visiting Barcelona is pick-pocketing and theft. It is very common here. After visiting 70+ countries, and countless cities as an avid traveler, this is the only city where I've had something stolen from me.

Split is a fun city to visit especially if you love being outside, hiking, and getting out on the water.
