About me
I've been traveling for a long time, On the way I've had a baby in a strange country with no family around. I swore allegiance to another flag and got another passport, I signed up for the US navy, I joined the police, volunteered in the US, Ireland & Poland. I've buried a best friend and a boyfriend. I've had more disastrous relationships than Liz Taylor; I've survived car wrecks, 3 crash landings on planes, a war in the Middle East, riots in India, and was lost on a boat in Iranian waters and rescued by the coast guard after being found by the US military on their radar. I bought my own boat and I bought and sold my own pub, won a best actress award, wrote and toured with a play, appeared on stage in Ireland and the USA, but most important I've raised an amazing son. Along the way I've been to 140 countries,currently battling cancer but the goal is to see everywhere.

The owner of the restaurant is as mad as a hatter and runs around the restaurant that she opens whenever she feels like, shouting in Croatian and breaking into a mad cackle of laughter when she thinks she is being funny.

Venice to Rijeka public transport
More importantly as a woman travelling alone I feel perfectly safe and no one hassles me at all. I find the captain of my boat and the man who will hold his life in my hands for the next month. I made it. I’ve arrived safely to Croatia.
CROATIA – this is what I found
Croatia had been on my list for years I loved it long before it was called Croatia in fact. In 1987 I worked with a chef from Yugoslavia in Munich years and he always talked about the beauty of his country. …
Osor – day-2-sailing-Croatia
We awoke to the usual smell of fresh coffee and ate breakfast on the aft deck, then the task of cleaning up and getting everything ready for our sail to Osor, which should be about 4 hours. The map is out and we are making tracks.
