Dubrovnik Part 2: Travel vlog #15 | Dubrovnik, Croatia| Filmed July 2021
Our 8th vlog from Croatia, part 2 of 2 in Dubrovnik, focuses on our explorations of Stari Grad (the Old City), formerly the capital of the Republic of Ragusa. Sometimes called the Singapore of the Adriatic, cutting deals with whomever they needed to maintain their autonomy, their motto was “Non bene pro toto libertas venditur auro”, “Liberty is not sold for all the gold in the world.”

About Us:
——————————————————-
We are Matt and Avic; Matt grew up in Virginia, USA, and Avic in Quezon City, Philippines. Since we started dating back in the 1990s, travel has been a major part of our relationship.
By May of 2021, both of our sons were out on their own and we were fully vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. We decided to quit our jobs, sell our house, get rid of most of our stuff (store the rest) and set out on a Nomadic Life.
“Explore Tayo” means “let’s explore” in Taglish (blended Tagalog-English.) “Tayo” is the inclusive “we” vs the exclusive “kami.” This isn’t just OUR journey, we want to include everyone who watches our videos or visits our site so we hope you will hit “like” and “subscribe” and come along for the ride!
