About Me

As a seasoned travel advisor with over three decades of full-time industry experience, I’ve had the privilege of exploring some of the world’s most captivating destinations—but few places have left the lasting impression that Croatia has. From the shimmering Adriatic coastlines to the timeless charm of its medieval towns, Croatia offers a magical blend of culture, cuisine, natural beauty, and immersive experiences that I love curating for my clients.

As a Croatia specialist, I bring not only professional expertise but personal insight, having recently returned from an in-depth 2024 journey through Dubrovnik and Split. In Dubrovnik, I revisited the iconic Old Town, walked the ancient city walls at sunrise before the crowds arrived, and explored hidden corners that most travelers overlook—perfect for clients seeking a deeper, more authentic experience. In Split, I immersed myself in the vibrant energy of the Riva promenade, uncovered local flavors in bustling markets, and spent time inside Diocletian’s Palace, where layers of Roman and modern life coexist in a way that’s uniquely Croatian.

My hands-on knowledge allows me to match travelers with boutique hotels tucked into historic centers, exclusive yacht charters along the Dalmatian Coast, private vineyard tastings on the island of Hvar, or guided hikes through Plitvice Lakes National Park. Whether you're planning your first visit or returning to uncover more of what Croatia has to offer, I can help design a seamless, personalized itinerary that goes beyond the guidebooks.

I work with couples, families, solo travelers, and multi-generational groups, and I specialize in luxury and experiential travel. My Croatia itineraries often include private transfers, curated small-group tours, insider access, and local hosts who enrich your journey with their knowledge and warmth. From sailing between sun-drenched islands to discovering UNESCO World Heritage Sites with expert guides, each trip I plan is as unique as the traveler.

My strong network of in-country partners ensures you’ll have reliable support on the ground, while my personal connections open the door to the kind of experiences that make your trip truly unforgettable. Whether you're envisioning a cultural deep dive, a leisurely coastal escape, or a taste-filled journey through Croatia’s wine and culinary scene, I’m here to make it effortless and extraordinary.

Let’s start planning your perfect Croatian getaway—crafted with care, insight, and a deep love for this remarkable destination.

The Best Travel Agent EVER!
Reviewed By JH - Seattle, WA | Traveled to USA
Dawn is one of the most knowledgable, personable, seasoned and detail oriented travel agent I've had the pleasure to work with. She has handled both my national and international travel for years, both personally and professionally. I've become so spoiled by her knowledge and experience, I find it very hard to book anything without her help! She is fantastic, dependable, and so nice to work with. Five stars! Won't find anyone better.

    Not our last trip to New Zealand
    Incredible New Zealand trip ever! From Auckland's waterfront to Rotorua's geothermal wonders, Bay of Islands' stunning beauty, Christchurch's food, Queenstown's adrenaline rush, and Doubtful Sound's serene fjords—every moment was a breathtaking adventure. New Zealand, we have to come back. You have our hearts.

    Australia Trip of a lifetime!
    "Our Australia journey, spanning Sydney, Ayers Rock, and Hamilton Island, was absolutely incredible. Sydney's iconic landmarks and cultural diversity left us awestruck. Ayers Rock's sheer grandeur and spiritual significance were profoundly moving. Hamilton Island was a tropical paradise, with pristine beaches and the Great Barrier Reef at our doorstep. What truly made our trip unforgettable were the warm and welcoming Australians we met along the way. This adventure was a blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and unforgettable experiences. We can't express enough gratitude to Dawn Thompson and the people we encountered for making it our best trip ever. Australia has captured our hearts, and we're already planning our return."

    Australia Anniversary Trip
    We had a fantastic time in Australia! It is a beautiful country! We definitely could’ve used more time there, I feel like we’ve barely scratched the surface. I want to thank you again for all your help in putting everything together for us & for advising us while we were there as well. We liked the rocks, opera house tour & Sunset bridge climb! The sites were stunning, views amazing & beaches were beautiful. In Melbourne we loved the penguin parade & the great ocean road. Reef sleep was truly unique to Australia. This was an experience that I am so glad we did. A big highlight was the helicopter ride over the reefs & landing on White Haven Beach. That silica sand is like flour in your hands. We loved the air tram up through the rainforest to Kuranda & the scenic train ride back. Gold class was an excellent choice. The Koala holding at Kuranda was fantastic! It was such a romantic, beautiful, & special experience that we will never forget. Thank you again, Judy Jubas
