25 Reasons You Should NEVER Visit Croatia

It was one of the quickest articles I have ever written.

Less than 25 minutes from start to finish. 

And - full disclosure - beer was involved. 

A client had asked me to write an article called 25 Reasons NEVER to Visit Croatia, a provocative title, with the clickbaity twist giving 25 reasons why Croatia was in fact an amazing place to visit.

After an afternoon on the Weissbier in Munich, I pulled out a cold one from the fridge and got to work, writing down the first 25 reasons that came into my head. 

The client was pleased and - it seemed - so were his readers, as he reported a million clicks in the first 24 hours.  It was EVERYWHERE!

I went back into the studio recently to record more videos for my new YouTube channel, Paul Bradbury Croatia Expert, and I thought it would be fun to make a video version of the original article. 

So here it is, the latest from the Fat Vlogger. Are you coming to Croatia this summer?

You are giving much more credit to Croatia than any croatians will do, ever!
I'm not sure is this a good thing or bad one, but - thank you in any way!

[Nikola-Bozic]

People don't understand sarcasm today and that's why it's easier for them to attack a person they don't know. My dear Croatians, when you, like this man, beautifully described things and events in our country that we take for granted

[richard_from_england]

This is how you do it! The Croatian Tourist board can only dream of having such success

A man is screaming out of the sea: -Help! –Help!
A group of Croatians standing on the beach:
-See, that man is drowning.
-Yeah, drowning for sure.
-And we’re standing here.
-Yeah, standing.
-Then why don’t we sit!🤣

My father was born near Arzano Croatia in a tiny village. My mother was born in St. Albans England . They got married in Canada where we live. In 1974 we went to Croatia and England. The first leg was to Croatia. My mom loved it so much she extended the first leg of the trip. Ever since she plays Croatian music and cooks a lot of Croatian food. She’s 84 now and when I go to her house I can always cheer her up by putting Croatian music on YouTube ! Enjoy life the best you can !

I personally work in a hotel in Dalmatia and I can confirm that after talking with guests from most of Europe, a large part of America, the Arabian Peninsula and Asia that Croatia has almost everything. In some cases, people are jealous of the Mediterranean climate, food, historical heritage, customs, indented coastline, and especially safety. When I started to work in tourism branch and before talking to people, I didn't know how unsafe and dangerous it has become in Europe... especially in England because the English tell me that the rate of stabbings and rapes is at the highest levels. The fast and capitalistic lifestyle has destroyed the small joys of people all over Europe and they can feel those things at least a little bit here. We are truly blessed, but to stop corruption and nepotism we have to be better people. Others will not do it for us!

Beautiful!! As a Croat, I'll advertise my country to all of my guests through your videos. Thank you for doing a better job then so many portals, TV stations, tourist bureaus...

[mdgwd]

You are well known in Croatia as one who complains, but as a Croat, i want to say this : you have made more for tourism of this country than anyone i can think of (Bourdain RIP). You are respected and loved in a certain structure of population in Croatia that is upper middle class (does that exist anymore?) and please go on with your work. Thank you.

[slavkotrzan]

Thanks for your promoting my country, long live Croatia.... Keep enjoying in Croatia

[That_Bender]

A few years ago, a friend of mine from Zagreb told me Croatia was the most beautiful country in Europe, possibly the whole northern hemisphere. Being from the deep Rocky Mountains of Colorado, I contested that notion.

Last November, I started looking at going on a European vacation for a week or two and stumbled onto Croatia again. Now, it’s all I think about. I’ve started learning the language, planning a trip for September, meeting up with my buddy and I’m honestly worried about NOT being able to get back on the plane to come home. It seems like a dream, and I’m waiting impatiently for my copy of Croatia; A Survival Kit for Foreigners (should be here Tuesday)!

Dear Paul, You are better promotor of our small country than any Turist organization. Thank You, and all I wish-live long and do what You do.

[meatlover]

Mr.Paul, thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful presentation. As much as you made me laugh to tears, you also made me even more proud to be Croatian. Just keep going at the same pace !

[ITSplit]

We are small but rich country if only smart people lead it !!! Thank you to showing others that they are wrong !! Thank you, Paul ! - pomalo 👍🙋‍♀️🇭🇷❤
