- Bok! = Hello!
In this video I will show you how some typical old stone houses in Croatia look like. We will see an old and abandoned house my grandfather was born in. There are many stone houses like this one, old rural properties, abandoned and slowly turning to ruins. This particular one is 5 minute drive from the wonderful Adriatic Sea and nice beaches. Do you also have some Croatian heritage and old ancestral houses somewhere in Croatia?
If your goal for this year is to learn Croatian better, I am here to help.
This year, I plan on uploading new videos about life in Croatia.
I will show you moments of how I live and what I do, so that you can feel how living in Croatia is like and see it through my eyes.
I will take you along to the sea, to the gardens, to the forests and to the villages... there will probably be some Croatian food and occasionally Croatian traditions. I will paint, walk my dog, and teach you some Croatian along the way.
This year, I will organize new groups for learning Croatian in a group setting, on Zoom.
There are still spots available, so let me know if you are interested to learn more.
I will have limited availability, so contact me as soon as possible if you are really interested in joining the lessons and learning the Croatian language.
You can contact me via email: croatianexperiencewithsanda@gmail.com
If you prefer individual approach, there is the option od one-on-one lessons, and I also have really fun Croatian lessons for Children.

Thanks for watching, pozdrav iz Hrvatske! Sanda
So emotional moment of everyone’s life whenever goes to our ancient home.
Videos like this always give me goosebumps. I was born in Rijeka but migrated to Australia age 4 with my parents. I have since been back only twice but hope to go again soon .
Even though my home is Australia now, I feel such a strong connection with my country of birth, especially as I grow older. I can't wait to step back onto Croatian soil! There are so many beautiful places I want to visit. I especially want to go back to the villages my parents and grandparents grew up in; to see their homes (hopefully still standing). I know it will be an incredibly emotional experience for me. God willing I will be back 🙏.
I hope you will fullfil your dream!!
🇺🇸💕💕🇭🇷 Lovely video. It brought emotion. Hvala 😥🙂
My family immigrated to South America and USA from Brac - we all love our nonos so seeing your grandfathers home is very moving. Greetings
Beautiful old houses, they are certainly worth saving and renovating, they should not be left to crumble into ruin!! 😟🤥 really i would like to have one i would try my best to make it nice again and someone could live in it, maybe even myself - i do wonder on a price for an old abandoned small house like these. Thanks for showing us these buildings, i love how they have stairs outside leading up to a balcony where people used to live, i expect it is beautiful to sit outside in the summer, on the balcony.
Happy Valentines day.
Bok! This video is "izvrsno i Ljepo!!! I would like so much to know about the existance of "moj obijtej kuci iz Nerezine"(sorry, I am still learning):). My great great grandpa has lived the Otok in 1892 godina...and came to Amerika, as many...Last year, me, my brother and neece went there to make a research...jasam arhitektica i poliovrovrednica u Brazilu! And like so much the history about the villages and about the houses and gardens!!!Thank you so much for sharing! Hvala Lijepa!!! :)
Bravo, good job with writing a bit in Croatian! Hvala i pozdrav iz Hrvatske!
I love the music that you pick for your videos! So peaceful. Also, your videos are like mini history lessons. They are very educational and pleasant to watch. Hvala ti puno!
Thank you very much Yvonne! Picking music for the videos is my favorite part. :)
I am from nepal🇳🇵i am your big frends so nice place
Hi Sanda, thanks for showing your grandparents' old houses. My great-grandparents came to Chile from Mimice in Omiš and Kučiće. I imagine that the small villages of Dalmatia also have this type of construction with stone houses.
You're welcome! It was a similar construction... everything made our of stone :)
Exploring abandoned stone ruins and buildings is one of my favourite things to do in Croatia. Our house is stone with original oak beams and so on. Full of character! Only about 80 km from Rijeka.
I adored this video...what a wonderful topic! You cannot fathom how meaningful this is to subscribers like me. Thank you. 😊
Hi! I adore reading your comments. Thank you for always commenting when I upload a new video. I am very sentimental in that regard,
I also love exploring all those old houses and all the history we have in this area. Croatia has been through so much in as little as the last 100 years, and you can definitely see it and feel it in the architecture and the landscape. Your Croatian house sounds wonderful!
@@CroatianExperiencewithSanda How kind of you! Your topics are so fascinating, close to my heart. I'm not even Croatian but feel such a strong connection to this wonderful country.
We love our dear little stone house in our wee village. 🥰 Our village ruins are beautiful and must have amazing history.
Thank you again! You made my day.
@@maslina4567 That is just wonderful! You made my day, too!
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gracias por mostrarnos la casa de su abuelo. Alguna vez vi una película que al final decía: Y qué es una casa? Un lugar que alberga las alegrías y tristezas, así como los sueños de quienes ahí viven. En lo personal, cuando visito la casa de mis padres, en un pueblo pequeño de México, los recuerdos me hacen revivir experiencias agradables y entrañables. Saludos desde Ciudad de México.
Nice
Am going to croatia soon
Love from Kerala, India
Wow Sanda those houses are beautiful! I'm so sad that they are abandoned. I would love to find out where my baka lived and visit her house someday.
Bok Susy! Yes, they are beautiful! It would be amazing to find out where your baka lived - and it is possible, through the old church books!

It's an amazing place!
It really is!
Bok, Sanda. Lindo video! Espero pronto poder visitar la casa de mi bisabuelo en Veli Losinj. Vidimo se!
Hvala, Jose Miguel! Veli Lošínj es espectacular! 😍
I would love to see a video of Trpanj. My father grew up there. It has been many years since I visited.
I did a similar tour for 20 years ago to Dalmatia to the house where my Baba was born. There is a nice feeling to it, I must say.
Oh, that sounds amazing! Was your Baba born on some Croatian island? It must have been lovely to reconnect with your roots in such a way.
@@CroatianExperiencewithSanda it was indeed. You are spot on! She was born on an island.
Your video actually brought me flashbacks about my own experience. Hvala lipo!
@@nomadvehr827 nema na čemu! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! It was common for the people to leave the islands. It was a hard life due to periods of drought. People lived from making olive oil and wine. If that didn't work out, they were hungry. But there was not much else, other than stones.... Most people I work with had their ancestors from the island of Brač.
@@CroatianExperiencewithSanda in my case they left for South America with their children, my father among them. The rest as we say is history.
This is an incredible video! I must share this with family! They will love it! My Croatian ancestors grew cherries. Not sure if cherries are still common here. This made my day!
I LOVE cherries. My grandparents used to take me cherry picking in the summer. Everyone here had some fruit trees, cherries, plums, figs, and an almond or a walnut, apple trees... if you didn't have a fruit tree, you simply didn't have fruit at those times.... I miss that tradition of planting edible fruit trees everywhere. It makes so much sense. But people nowadays don't want the bees (which are extremely important for food in general), don't want the ants, and the bugs, and the birds that come along with the fruit trees, and the fruits that fall onto the ground...
@@CroatianExperiencewithSanda Your videos are part of my genetic memory! 😆
Growing cherries and building are very different, don't trust Croatian builder's or Bosnians u will be sorry
You should keep the house...clean it and remodel it.
It is not mine :)
@@CroatianExperiencewithSanda I am looking to buy a stone house in Trogir. Is beautiful over there.
Can you make it habitable again?
Hiii, I am from India. I want to migrate to Croatia. Pls guide me
Reminds me of horror movies. 5:56 is creepy
Hahaha! Hrvatski horor film.
@@CroatianExperiencewithSanda Lijepo
Can you learning me some Croatia language
Bok Sanda. Kako si?
Bok! Ja sam odlično, hvala! Kako si ti?
Beautiful the stone houses your problem will be when you are hiring builders as Croatian builders are mostly useless expensive and very unreliable, they can build quality either and lots and of stories about them stealing and over charging.
Best advice is not to employ or work with any Croatian they are totally useless, I built many properties but never use them as they have no tools and don't build straight ever, great country just don't trust ever a Croatian or Bosnian builders you have been warned.
You have zero protection when the leave when they have been paid, so many had stories of thieves but the government is the same.
Bandic INA Sanader read all about them, it's in the blood to steal. Do not trust ever
