Welcome to Life and Ventures! We’re Andrea and Mario, founders and explorers behind this Croatia travel & outdoor portal. We were born and raised in what we believe to be the most beautiful part of Croatia – southern Dalmatia, a place where we made our first steps into the world of adventures – hiking, kayaking, cycling… For the past decade Life and Ventures was something else – an adventure agency with various experiences and thousands of people enjoying them with our guidance. But then we decided it was time for a new journey.
That is how this portal was born. Through the years, we have traveled across Croatia (and beyond), discovering and experiencing the best it offers. We’ve decided to document and write about these so you can find something for yourself. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a blend of both, we’re here to guide you through the best of Croatia.
Went to Croatia, stumbled upon this website, and ended with the best vacation ever!

Southern Croatia – what a beautiful place on Earth. It happens to be our home and we’re more than happy to live here. It’s also one of the most popular regions in Croatia. Part of that popularity comes from the Adriatic sea…and Dubrovnik, you already know about Dubrovnik.
But while both the Adriatic sea and Dubrovnik are worth experiencing, there is much more to visit in southern Croatia. We bring you our list of 9 places you have to visit if traveling to the south of our country.
We’re proud to have been featured in various media and collaborated with some of the most renowned brands from all around the world.
Welcome to the virtual home of our adventure travels. Life and Ventures project was always imagined as a platform where we’ll publish some of our most recent adventures.
