Debonda in The Independent – a moment worth sharing

It always means a lot when someone from the outside sees and appreciates what we do. When a guest joins one of our experiences, connects with the spirit of the island, and takes the time to write about it, it reminds us why we started this journey in the first place.

British travel writer Joanna Booth recently visited Hvar and took part in one of our trail running experiences. Although she originally came for the physical challenge, she quickly discovered much more. Over several days, she explored the island in a way we truly believe in, through real connections, a local pace, and meaningful moments.

In her article for The Independent, Joanna highlighted how we curated the experience and how our approach helped her connect with the island. She captured the essence of what we strive to offer – travel that feels genuine, grounded, and human.

This kind of recognition is more than publicity. It confirms that our efforts matter. The way we do things, with care, intention, and a personal touch – speaks to people. And that’s what keeps us going.
