Episode Description

Croatia Dream is a tourism business in the city of Split in the country of Croatia, nestled along the Adriatic Sea. Founded four years ago as an agency for villas and apartments in Croatia, the nimble company now offers full service in seven languages for travelers to Croatia - amazing accommodation, all kind of transfers, excursions, and adventure tours. And each of the three principals work 15-hour days during the busy season and absolutely love their work. They then relax, travel the world, and recreate during the off season – a wonderful work-life integration. But how did this company run by three entrepreneurs all in their 30s come into existence? Built on a profound love for their country, the business was launched when a serendipitous opportunity to rent office space came available, and the three decided to leave their various other professions and join forces. As a tight-knit team, they take great pride that their professional solidarity makes them even stronger as a family.
