really surprised seeing you here Mike, i have been following you on yt from my pre-pro photography days....you tought me a lot, thanks.
Travel advice - i live near Venice (Padova) but im originaly from Pula (near Porec) - when youre there, go visit Rovinj - its a beautiful little city (much prettyer than Porec), and Pula is also very nice if you like Roman ruins. Oh and dont eat the icecream in Croatia - its really terrible!!
Would love to hear a coment on my work posted here if you have the time sometimes in the future. Thanks and enjoy your stay
