What does summer travel look like to you? For me, July is the time for a few quick trips, but August is when I go away to chill out and remove myself from the world.
In this month, there were two big trips: the end of my Montenegro and Croatia trip, which was all about enjoying the best of the Adriatic; then a two-week trip to Copenhagen and Greenland, all about enjoying the edge of the wilderness.
Let’s take a look at what made August 2023 great!

Getting to know Cavtat. Cavtat (SAHV-taht) is a small seaside town close to Dubrovnik but a world away. It’s quiet, chill, and so much cheaper than Dubrovnik, with a direct boat to the old city for 20 EUR ($22) round-trip. I really liked it!
