Nada’s Pilgrimage to Croatia and the Bosnian Pyramids
Have you ever traveled to a foreign country and seen spectacular sites? Have you really met with the locals and interacted with them, learned about their essence of being and ways of living?
How did you feel when you somehow happened upon something beautiful, a hidden treasure, that no travel agent ever mentioned? Have you dared to taste a local homemade meal straight from the garden or the local forest on your plate, and felt safe in doing so?
Well, I have traveled to many foreign countries, seen some spectacular sights, tasted some local food in a nice restaurant (controlled environment) and occasionally met a local, as a tour guide or restaurateur.
The only way I would be able to meet and interact with some local people was in a situation where I stayed and lived with them for a while. These are the hidden treasures that reveal themselves…the spirit and soul of the people, the heart of the land.
What my Pilgrimage has to offer to you is very different from any organized tour; it is exactly what I described before.
Being a native-born Croatian gives me the privilege to invite you into my country home and have you experience the embrace of my local family, to taste their homemade meals that derive from their garden, local forest, river and lake, or the Adriatic Sea. Listen to the local songs and music and be invited to dance with them if you like. Have the opportunity to support a local handicapped person or contribute to a child’s school lunch for the year. Share your knowledge and expertise with young people whose horizons have not been broadened yet. See and experience the beauty of virgin land and its potential. See and experience ancient treasures first hand. Have your spirit be filled with awe and allow a miracle or transformation into your life.
This is my promise to you as you are welcomed with an open heart into the core of my forefather’s land and the hearts of my people.
