Croatia
So I got invited to Croatia for a Yacht Week trip and I was a excited but I had my doubts. I did some research people typically had great reviews and experiences .People even went as far as to say it couldn’t possibly be racist. Well whoever said Croatia couldn't possibly be racist is delusional. Within an hour of landing in Split I had two encounters immediately. First at an airport store while I was trying to purchase water. The cashier purposely ignored me while tripping over himself to serve everyone else. I patiently waited and even approached him with the water and was ignored. So l put the water back and left.
Secondly after arriving at a rather filthy Airbnb I was called the N word along with monkey sounds by the neighborhood children. Croatia literally never has to worry about seeing me again. I really wanted to love it but I couldn't. At just about every turn I was disappointed. I travel all the time and I'm from America so have experienced my fair share of micro aggressions but this was a bit ridiculous.l know they're typically aren't a lot of black tourists in the country but my goodness.
The Yacht week experience was cool, just not for me. My host and skipper were excellent but as for Croatia Baby they don’t ever have to worry about me again.
