Meet Rada
Salutations dear adventurers!
Welcome to Split, Dalmatia, Croatia!
My name is Rada and I hope that as your guide I will inspire you with my passion and knowledge for my beloved Dalmatia!
Although a guide's focus is to share the rich historical knowledge we have acquired over the years, what gives me the most pleasure is how so many guests truly appreciate hearing about real local life-the true life stories from so many fascinating people I have met, their family histories as well as how I and my family live their daily lives here.
I’ve been guiding for 20 years and have licenses to guide in Split, Šibenik and Dubrovnik counties. I also have completed the professional guide licensing program at the Faculty of Economics in Split; the University of Applied Sciences in Šibenik and at Aspira University College of Management and Design in Split.
Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to have lived in towns, villages as well as on the sea. My family and friends have taught me many traditional Dalmatian traditions, especially how to prepare, cure and store Croatian foods like prosciutto, pancetta, saussages, wine, prošek, grappa.
On the island of Vis, we have a family olive and fig orchard. Every year, I make organic extra virgin olive oil and fig jam and grow lavender and rosemary bushes. In my tiny garden in Split, we grow different herbs and use them every day.
I look forward to sharing my love and passion for Dalmatia in every way – history, food, flora, fauna, hiking… come and join me!
