Croatia is more than Dubrovnik, which Game of Thrones fans and cruiseships have been flocking to for years. On this episode, Ashley Colburn, an American now living in Istria, helps us explore more of Croatia’s coastline. (show notes at postcardacademy.co)
 
 
 
Ashley is a two-time Emmy award-winning TV producer who has traveled to more than 50 countries. She earned one of those Emmys for her first TV travel show WOW Croatia.

Croatia’s Coast: Traveling to Zadar, Šibenik, Split, Dubrovnik, and More

Mr. Darcy has been on my mind this week. Not because he’s the fantasy of so many women, but because I finally read Pride and Prejudice, and discovered something shocking (to me) about him. 

I’d always thought of Mr. Darcy as this tall, brooding, misunderstood character. The fabulously wealthy, handsome man who everyone thinks is a jerk, but secretly has a heart of gold and wants to take care of you. This is why women have been obsessed with him for hundreds of years. The strong, silent, mysterious hero. 

But that’s not who he starts out as in the book. 

Reading Pride and Prejudice reveals so much more about him, and about what it takes to change and grow. 

In this episode, I’ll share what Mr. Darcy’s transformation can teach us about:

 1. how honest conversations can lead to personal transformation – for you and the person you’re speaking with.
 2. why hard conversations are worth having, even when they feel risky or uncomfortable.
 3. what Stoic principles and practical communication tools can help us handle conflict gracefully.

By the way – hello! I’m your host, Sarah Mikutel, an American writer, communication coach, and practicing Stoic based in England.

What to Eat in Rome: A Fascinating History of Italian Cuisine

Bestselling author and Paris resident Lindsey Tramuta says that for a time, Paris had become prisoner to its own grand history. While chefs and artists in other countries innovated, Paris rested on its laurels, serving up mediocre food and experiences to tourists seeking a cliche. In this episode of the Postcard Academy, I talk to Lindsey about her book, ‘The New Paris.’ 🇫🇷
 
 Lindsey’s book champions the creative class that’s rejecting complacency. Inspired by the creativity they see in other countries, and disillusioned by the financial crisis, artisans and entrepreneurs are striking out on their own. We talk about the people and places making Paris a contemporary city bursting with energy 🇫🇷
 
 In this ultimate Paris guide, you’ll learn more about Lindsey, an expat from Philadelphia, and hear where to go in Paris for the best food, cocktails, shopping, and so much more.

What to Eat in Istanbul and Beyond

Today we are talking to my friend Ting Zhang, a New Yorker who now lives in Queenstown, New Zealand — birthplace of bungee jumping and fantastic pinot noir. 
 
 
 
In a previous life, Ting had an awesome job as a global product lead at Google in New York City. On paper she had everything, but when she took a step back a few years ago, she realized what she really wanted to do was travel. So, she packed up everything and embarked on a world tour. She originally only planned on visiting Queenstown for a few days, but now she lives there permanently and you will love hearing the story about what kept her there. 
 
 
 
Of course, she also shares her insider tips on where to find the best dining, hiking, and drinking options in this boutique wine region of the world.
