Tihana Šimuncic
Croatia Travel Coordinator
I grew up in the small town of Varaždin, which is just a short distance from the capital, Zagreb. The allure of the Adriatic and its unique lifestyle was something I couldn’t resist. So, when the time came to go to college, I decided to make Split my new home. With its stunning coastline, historical sites, and lively atmosphere, Split felt like the perfect place to start a new chapter in my life.
After settling in Split, I found myself drawn to the world of tourism, which has been my passion for the past 10 years. When I’m not busy working, I cherish my free time by visiting my family in Varaždin and spending quality moments with my friends. At Unforgettable Travel, where I’ve been working for several years now, I’m responsible for managing charter bookings, as well as handling catamaran and gulet reservations. My main priority is ensuring that everything runs smoothly—from the initial booking all the way through to the completion of the cruise. I love being involved in every step of the process, ensuring that guests have an unforgettable experience while exploring the stunning Croatian coastline.

I’ll never forget the atmosphere as I wandered through the Christmas market in Vörösmarty Square in Budapest, surrounded by the glow of lights and the majestic backdrop of historic buildings. The chill in the air made the mulled wine taste even better, warming me from the inside out. I could feel the energy of the crowd as the lively Christmas music echoed around me, and I found myself swept up in the festive spirit. The snowflakes began to fall softly, adding a layer of enchantment to the evening. It felt like the kind of scene you only see in holiday movies, and yet, I was living it. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
