What NOT TO DO in CROATIA - 12 Things to Avoid (superstitions & more)

This week we wanted to do a fun video all about what not to do in Croatia, and for the best advice, we went over to Baka and Dida's house. A lot of these are superstitions, there are also a couple of practical tips, so we hope you'll learn a thing or two about how to blend in on your visit to Croatia :)

They always speed on the highways, and whenever there is a massive collision, you can bet your life at least one car will have Zagreb plates. You buy anything in Zagreb, and has to be delivered somewhere else, "Oh wait, that will be an extra". They always think they're superior to everyone else...like wtf?!!!

Especially the no walking barefoot/sitting on cold surfaces and placing your purse on the ground. We believe the money drains from your purse (figuratively not literally) if you sit it on the floor. Also, always look inside containers in the kitchen. You may think it’s butter in there but it’s turns out to be leftovers from dinner! Lol

    This is no wonder. Before the Roman Emperor (see "De Administrando Imperio") invited us to settle today's Croatia, we Croats lived in today's Poland. The mother of "Karol Wojtyla", Pope John Paul II, described herself as a Croatian. Das ist kein Wunder. Bevor uns der römische Kaiser (siehe "De Administrando Imperio") eingeladen hat das heutige Kroatien zu besiedeln, haben wir Kroaten im heutigen Polen gelebt. Die Mutter von "Karol Wojtyla", Papst Johannes Paul II, bezeichnete sich selbst als Kroatin.

    When I have nausea I take a few sips of rakija and it really helps. I once drank liquid from a bottle of Sprite thinking of course it was juice and my mom had liquid to feed the plants inside. I remember the disgusting taste in my mouth from that 🤣. And my mom's ear infection really gets stronger if it's drafts.

    Yes. My grandmothers in Poland would never let me anywhere aroud draft, sitting on anything cold would be a big no, vodka was a great remedy for stomach pain, they woul use lard on people's chest as a remedy. We have the same with sitting by a corner and putting bags on the floor. I bet there are many more.

    Always aware of the "chill" also exists here in Italy. My Italian partner always reminds our daughter to blow dry her hair before we go out so she doesn't get the "torcicollo" (neck cramp) from the "chill." I always go out with wet hair (I hate blow dryers LOL), and thankfully have never gotten the torcicollo. It's neat to see shared practices in Europe.

    Nice ! There is a rule to not leave any drinks in your glass unfinished when you are leaving home from your guests because you are leaving quarrel/disagreement in the house. To never go outside of the house with the wet hair because you will get the headache. To not look from windows when there is rain and thunder outside and to this day I still don't know why :P Oh the fanny pack I did get a lot of strange looks for it in Canada but I love to wear it . And also don't know where to with all my stuff with out one. Year ago when I was last time in Canada I started to see fanny packs being sold in the stores there so it's just a matter of time until they discover how awesome they are.
