Your Croatia Travel & Outdoor Portal

Best of Croatia, just a few clicks away

Welcome
Let's Adventure Together

Made and brought to you by locals

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.

The idea behind our YouTube channel is to explore peculiar and often unknown outdoor places of Croatia, research them, and deliver them to you packed in one video. We strive to make a short documentary movie about these places with all the interesting facts we can find about them.
