What to do in Split, Croatia?

Day 1 – Arrival and Cultural Exploration From the airport to Valletta, the best way to travel is to take a bus. It’s a single bus, no transfers, and if you get the Explore Card it’s very cheap. (Journeys on buses in Malta are two euros otherwise, which is still cheap). What was…

(Or – You Want to Travel For the Summer But You Have No Clue How You Can Afford It) While it’s not possible to stay in a five-star luxury hotel and pay barely anything for it, (unless you went to world scout jamboree 2023, but that’s another story) it’s definitely possible to backpack…
