Ok, I may not of sailed "the seven sea's", I only sailed one, the Adriatic Sea.... And by sailing I mean spending most of the day laying on the front of the boat and stopping in the middle of the ocean for a dip every now and then. I did my week of sailing with www.sailweekcroatia.com and I'm glad I did. Travelling solo can be very hit and miss when your booking tours. What's my tour guide going to be like? What are the other people on the boat going to be like? I definitely got lucky. My tour guide/skipper was the head skipper for the whole 6 sailing boats. So he was an absolute guru on the boat, except for the one day when he sailed us directly through a storm and proceeded to laugh at the fact that majority of the boat was hanging off the back heaving their guts up, myself included! I also ended up with a pretty good crew. Every body else came with a travel buddy, but at no point did I not feel like part of the crew. Fewwwfff. Now I'd love to go into detail about all the islands we visited.. But that would just be way to much writing. So instead I will just highly recommend that you do some sort of Croatian island hopping tour, weather it be on an enormous boat or a little sailing boat. Or even basing yourself on the mainland in Split and just catching the ferry to an island of your choice. Here are a couple of teaser photo's.
The lead up to this solo adventure second time round, is much different from the first. I strangely had no overwhelming feelings of excitement or sadness or even being a little nervous. I mean a 24 year old girl, just about to embark on a pretty massive adventure, just a back pack (larger then I would have liked, damn!) a couple of camera's, definitely too many pairs of shoes and probably way to wide eyed for what I'm about to experience, you would think my emotions would be on a whole different level.. but they just aren't. I feel so calm and content about my next move. Especially sitting in an airport waiting to board my flight... my long flight, alone. Friends and family always asked, Aren't you scared to fly, aren't you going to be bored by yourself. My answer was no every time. If anything airports are the one thing that get me excited. I know once I get on a plane I'll be getting off in a new place. And the fact that the "new place's" are endless is the best part about this.
