[Music]

there is a popular creation song that

says only Angels know what the Heaven

Looks

Like Only Angels and

people who have been to istra

fore for spe

fore foreign Ste really

hi guys my name is branimir cber I am

from Croatia please excuse me for some

grammar faults because English is my

second

language for the last 5 years I have

been producing and directing independent

traveling documentaries about my

homeland I'm proud to say that there is

no television production in Croatia or

any other high-end production pay by the

government that comes even close to this

number of yous and to be politically

free in Croatia believe me it's a hard

thing to

do I need to thank my followers for

their support it wouldn't be possible

without you guys thank you from the

bottom of my

[Music]

heart this is our real life scenario

what you see it's what you get

so let's take a minute and say a few

things about istra tourist people call

it istria you can use both

terms estra is the biggest creation

Peninsula if you look at the creation

map you will see that the shape of the

country is similar to a bird flying some

people say it's a dragon so if Croatia

is a bird our head is called istra and

in some way it's true istra is the head

of creation

[Music]

tourism istra or istria has a complex

culture strong Italian influence many

people here have Italian names and you

can often see Croatian and Italian

signs also throughout history istra was

a part of Austrian

Empire in the wartime from creation

Independence that happened from 9 1991

until 1995 istra didn't have a direct

impact from the war but people opened

their tourist facilities and took a lot

of refugees thank you isra for that to

make a long story short estra is the

most European part of Croatia istra was

always more open to the world than the

rest of Croatia let's say like

that prices in Croatia last year I have

the opportunity to ask tourists their

opinion I was able to talk with tourists

in their language because I was using

Vasco translator amazing device you can

choose over 100 World languages Wasco

translated to another language in a

second take a picture in a restaurant

and Wasco will translate the menu there

is more possibilities with Wasco but for

more information go to a Croatian

website vasc

translator or worldwide website Vasco

translator. comom if you buy vas

translator on a Croatian website use

discount code campet one really

important thing you don't need to have

internet connection Vasco is going to

work always and and everywhere so if

you're traveling a lot around the world

or you work with foreign people Wasco is

a great thing to have also this is

interesting Vasco team from Poland

approached me Polish people love Croatia

and we have great respect for Polish

people and their history Wasco team

wants to promote Croatian culture it

wouldn't be possible without you guys

Wasco translator check it out so back to

the story what did tourist people say we

thought it's going it's going to be more

expensive than it is oh really so we are

fine in conclusion prices are decent

it's a touristic place so you will pay

more of course if you come in High

season July and August good luck with

even finding accommodation ISTA has a

lot to offer so you can find apartments

from €50 up to 500 you can find great

food from 15 to20 per person and you can

also go to a Michelin star restaurant

and experience high prices so it's up to

you so what was my plan I am blessed to

be cro and I always ask my friends and

local people about their recommendations

so I try to go with the local flow but I

had a problem it's not easy to travel

alone and to share your thoughts on

camera alone I called my friend luia I

think Lua is the most beautiful creation

lady we did some legendary traveling

stories together Island loin and Island

Cula almost million people saw those

widows L couldn't make it this

summer then I called professionals I

called branca PR manager from istra and

Andrea local influencer they said that

they love my work amazing effort the

promotion of the culture and you know

stupid sweet talking but then you need

to stop talking and start working we had

a deal they know the people of istria

they will prepare the trip and I will

pay them good for

that and then creation reality kicked in

branca and Andrea after a great meeting

they never called

back you know what it's okay luia is not

available professionals from istra they

don't like to work with croats if you're

German or Italian or English then it's

okay or if you want to promote stupid

festivals that you will forget even next

day eat like a pig and drink free wine

you will find partners in a

second if you want to speak let's say

about a person who saved your culture in

istra go a little bit under the surface

you will be

alone I saw this scenario in Croatia so

many times so I'm going to wait next

summer I stayed in Zagreb capital of

Croatia and then out of nowhere I met

ranata medicine student

World traveler and a dreamer you will

meet Renata better in upcoming traveling

[Music]

videos so what happened after Zagreb

Renata's plan was to go to Italy City

Milano and istria is on the way to

Italy so I said to ranata would you like

to join me on a trip it's not going to

be easy we're going to document every

second of our day but ranata doesn't

speak creation well who cares we will

use English Croatian Spanish whatever

ranata took 3 seconds to think

about Renata gave me the energy to push

this idea and to make it happen I

started planning estra documentary movie

again

Renata and I went on a motorcycle but

Safety First always ask Professionals

for help and advices motorcycle was

ready and prepared by professionals at

rocker Moto rental Christian the owner

is doing an amazing job so if you're

coming to Croatia and you want to rent a

motorcycle there is no better place

Christian knows all the roads and the

best routes rocker moto.com

what about our bodies we need good

helmet protection jackets pants shoes

motorista shop in Zagreb great

atmosphere and lovely owners Helena and

Marco are there to help you check them

out in Zagreb capital of

Croatia and now we are ready to hit the

road istra I'm super happy to

say here we come

travel you know like not that super
