This spring, I planned a two-week tour through Italy with my parents, who are both in their 60s. It was their first time visiting Europe, and I couldn't wait to watch them discover one of my favorite countries.
I visited Croatia for the first time. It reminded me of the Amalfi Coast in Italy — but better in several ways.

Confession: Up until this year, I didn't know much about Croatia — other than the fact that much of "Game of Thrones" was filmed there.
However, after my well-traveled aunt raved about a recent trip to this Mediterranean country, it skyrocketed to the top of my want-to-visit list. She's spent substantial time in Europe, including some of the most beautiful places in Italy, so I figured it must be well worth a visit if she left so impressed.
Croatia is right across the Adriatic Sea from Italy. Historically, it's been a bit overshadowed by surrounding coastal European hot spots, including the Amalfi Coast.
After spending four nights in Dubrovnik, a city on Croatia's southernmost tip, I can confidently say it's just as beautiful as its Italian neighbor, if not more so.

I often travel with my family, but I just went to London by myself for the first time. It's the perfect city for solo travelers.
I didn't grow up in a family that traveled. The first time I vacationed outside the US was on my honeymoon, and just a few years after getting married, our first child was born, significantly slowing down our travels. It's only been since my kids got older that I've been traveling to spots I've always wanted to visit, like Italy and Mexico's Baja California peninsula .
