Croatia Daydream

Why work with me

What a travel planner
really changes

🕐

Save 20+ hours

No more endless research across blogs, forums and booking sites. I give you everything you need.

🗺️

Avoid the tourist traps

I know which spots are overrated — and the hidden ones worth the detour.

🇭🇷

Real local knowledge

Born Croatian, I speak the language, know the culture from the inside — and have local contacts you won't find online.

😌

Travel with confidence

Arrive prepared, relaxed, and excited — not stressed by logistics and unknowns.

💶

No hidden costs

One flat fee — no hotel commissions, no agency markups, no money lost in tourist traps. You know exactly what you pay.

📞

A local contact on the ground

If something goes wrong — a missed ferry, a hotel issue — you have a local expert to reach. You're never alone.

What I offer

Choose your
planning experience

How it works

Fill the questionnaire

A short 3-minute form so I understand your trip, travel style, and confirm my availability.

Receive your confirmation

I review your answers and send you the payment link and your planning call booking link.

Our planning call

We go through your trip together — your wishes, your pace, your style. This is where the magic begins.

Receive your essentials

Within 14 days: hotel recommendations, key structure of your itinerary and all the links you need.

Your full Travel Booklet

Once bookings are confirmed, I finalize your beautifully structured day-by-day digital guide — maps, restaurants, hidden gems, cultural notes. Yours forever.

Who I am

Hi, I'm Marijana 👋

I'm 35, native Croatian through my family, and I've spent years exploring Croatia — its coast, islands, villages, and hidden corners. I speak Croatian, and I've also travelled the world, which helps me understand what international travelers truly need to feel safe, relaxed, and inspired.

I became a mother in 2025, and I now travel with my daughter as often as possible — and as a dog-mummy too, I know exactly what families (and furry families) need for a smooth, beautiful trip.

My approach blends local knowledge, global experience, and a soft premium travel-planning style — so your Croatia journey feels effortless and truly yours.

I speak Croatian, English, French, German, and Luxembourgish — so feel free to choose the language you're most comfortable with.

Any questions?

Before you book

No — I provide curated recommendations and direct links so you can book everything yourself, easily and securely. This keeps your booking fully in your control and protects your personal payment information.

Ideally 2 to 4 months before your trip — especially for summer travel (June–September), when Croatia is very popular. That said, don't hesitate to reach out even if your trip is sooner. I'll always do my best to help!

Absolutely. I'm a mum myself and I travel with my daughter regularly. I know which destinations are family-friendly, which beaches are safe for little ones, and how to pace a trip so everyone — including babies — has a wonderful time.

Of course! If you already have a rough itinerary and just want expert eyes on it, the Review Session is perfect. If you're starting from scratch and want a fully tailored experience, the Signature offer is for you. Still unsure? Just reach out — I'll help you decide.

Just send me an email! I'm happy to answer any questions before you commit to anything. There's no pressure — I want you to feel completely confident before we start working together.
