Advisor - Alexandra Schmidt

About

I am an American travel blogger and content creator turned travel advisor. Based in Croatia and passionate about responsible travel, culture and seaside walks with my dog.

Home airports

My travel style

I consider myself a travel-savvy luxe adventurer. I love to experience new cultures beyond the main tourist sites. I also love an itinerary with some structure but also leave room for spontaneity.

Favorite hotels

Previous slide

Hotel Excelsior

Iconic landmark hotel with tranquil gardens and a beautiful beach — the hotel’s three restaurants all offering spectacular views of the Adriatic and an indoor swimming pool for guests to enjoy at leisure.

The Drake

Situated on a peninsula jutting into the sea at Croatia's southernmost point, this five-star resort and conference center is famous for having two quiet beaches, award-winning design, a spa and excellent restaurants.

One thing I can't travel without...

My ear plugs.

Two truths, one lie:

  1. I got stuck in Morocco on a yoga retreat during the pandemic and had to be repatriated by the US government. 

  2. I've lived in six cities and four countries in 28 years. 

  3. I love to scuba dive.
