    I'm Croatian and Slovenian, and our first trip there in May we went to the more touristy places like Dubrovnik and Split, which was lucky as there were tourists and it was busy, but not like the summer months! And then we went back the following year and loved going to quieter places and off the beaten track roads. If you ever go back to Croatia or Slovenia, I can tell you a lot of great spots to check out. Less tourists, cheaper but GOOD food. But you have to remember, Croatia is a country that thrives from tourism and they need it.

    Hi guys. Best of the series so far. Not the location which was stunning, but your insight about developing narrative, expanding vocabulary and the like. Also, your insight about saying goodbyes along your journey. Great stuff.
    It took three weeks, but I finally spotted that during the "today" segments throughout this series (4 episodes already), you're mostly wearing the same jackets. Outstanding! That gives such continuity to the entire series.

    I've often read about how crowded Dubrovnik is, especially after Game of Thrones. Wonder if it is like what we found staying in Vernazza in the Cinque Terre? We'd heard about terrible crowds - in the mornings and evenings, hardly anyone there and it was so lovely it was worth figuring out how to avoid the crowds during the day.

    Hah, the conundrum of wanting touristless spots while being a tourist yourself....
    For me, I have accepted along the way that if I want to visit "touristy places", there will be loads of tourists, myself included.
    Take Ephesus for exemple in Turkey. I knew what to expect crowd wise , and I know I was part of that crowd so it didn't dim my satisfaction, was fine with it.
    However when I (as a tourist) go wandering around to non touristy places, suddenly other tourists annoy me!
    Edit to add: Actually,the only place I have seen a wild bear was in Croatia, when I was driving from Rijeka towards the slovenian border... a big brown bear was in the middle of the road
    As for crossing pathes with friends... that's what travel is all about: crossing pathes. Make fond memories, but make no commitment... I can tell you I have seen over and over again a few people met through my travels i partaked with, by happenstance or through social medias... I have a surrogate family in Mexico for about 30 years now that I can count on and reciproquely... and some others will be good memories, or suddenly they will pop on for a stay again in your life...it's all positive stuff anyway

    My wife and I also try to avoid the tourists when we travel; especially the busloads of Chinese daytrippers. When we're in Europe we (as Americans) try to pass ourselves off as locals so that we don't look like our fellow tourists. No short pants, no t-shirts with slogans, no American flags on our bags, and no baseball cap. But we kind of give it away when we walk out of our hotel with cameras around our necks and guide books in hand. The minute you walk up to an old castle or snap a selfie in front of a statue you're proving you're not a local.
    But right now, after a year of isolation, I'm ready to join a queue of a thousand elderly cruise passengers waiting to get into the Hofbrauhaus or eat at Covent Garden or tour some ex-prince's palace. So sick of eating hot dogs and not getting any Currywurst or Bratwurst. I'd even settle for a full English breakfast at this point.
