TIDES OF AIR FLAVORED WITH SALT AND SALSA: Wanderlog. The Unconventional Guidebook. Visual Stories.

I’d like to introduce you to my book. This book is a collection of my life stories, closely intertwined with facts about the Croatian gem- the city of Rovinj. The best part? It comes with vivid visual accompaniment - photographs taken in June 2025.Nestled on the Istrian coast, Rovinj captivates with its medieval architecture, narrow cobblestone streets, and colorful houses that seem to "cling" to a seaside hill. Towering above it all is the majestic Church of St. Euphemia -the city’s symbol, whose bell tower offers breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea and the picturesque islands. Every corner here breathes romance: from the market with local delicacies to the harbor with fishing boats. Rovinj is also a city of artists, its galleries and workshops overflow with creativity. Imagine: cobbled streets whispering tales of the past, a sea so turquoise it’s impossibly vivid, and ancient cypress trees standing guard like timeless sentinels. This is a city where love lingers in the air, where every sunset paints the sky just for you. What awaits you in this book:CONTENT:1. The City Dives into the Rhythms of Salsa2.
