About the host
Hosted by Kristijan Perkovic
What makes me feel alive:
- Meeting people from different cultures
- Traveling (particularly to far, exotic destinations)
- Leading Croatian-Brazilian Society
- Popularizing science
- Volunteering in education (teaching programming in primary school, managing local sailing school and competitions, etc.)
- Organizing a series of lectures in the local library where I host popular Croatian travel writers
- Designing and building unique architectural and furnishing solutions
- Participating in a local weekly pub quiz competition
- Dancing tango and salsa
- Sailing with my sailing boat
- Attending pop/rock concerts
- Participating in travel festivals
- Spending time with my wife, our 3 children and with friends
- Dreaming BIG!
I was born in 1975 in Sibenik, a small Croatian coastal town. I finished Natural Sciences Grammar School in 1993 and moved to Zagreb to study. There I discovered my passion for traveling and getting to know other cultures. I founded Croatian-Brazilian Society and co-founded Croatian branch of student organization Board of European Students of Technology (BEST). When I graduated as electrical engineer (and as professor of Portuguese), for 9 years I worked as manager in a multinational telecom company. I got a chance to visit wonderful parts of the world, either on business trips, or traveling independently.
When my 3 children were born I decided to change the lifestyle and to pursue my vision of a calm family life in balance with a job where I would not be liable to my boss but only to the customers. I left the corporation and big city, and returned to my home region (Dalmatia). We settled in a quiet coastal village close to my hometown, and I fully devoted to tourism. I used experience from my travels and from my job to try to raise tourist service level in my community, both through growth of my accommodation offer and through volunteering as the vice-president of the Association of Private Accommodation Owners in Croatian Chamber of Commerce.

Why they chose this property
In the late ‘80s my father bought a land on a beautiful island close to our hometown. He started to build a humble beach house for our family, but the progress was very slow because he did not have enough money to hire a construction company so he had to build everything with his own hands, only occasionally assisted by some friends. I helped him as much as I could, but I was still a child. Building a house on such an isolated island was very difficult because all the material (even gravel) had to be brought from the mainland, and as there was no ferry connection, my father had to bring all building material by his small boat.
In 1998, when me and my sister were in the university and my parents’ salaries barely covered the cost of our studies, I suggested my father to take a bank loan to finish the house and then to rent it during the summer season in order to return the loan. As it was soon after the war in Croatia, he was worried that in case of further instabilities the tourists (who slowly started to return to our region) would disappear again and then he would not be able to pay off the loan. So I suggested him the opposite approach: to start renting the house although it was unfinished (at a low price) and then use every season’s earnings to continue finishing the house. I was in charge of advertising and booking (I created our first Web site in year 2000, while still many Croatian hotels did not have one), and I helped my parents with hosting and maintenance. Although this plan was successful and the completion continued, it still progressed very slowly. 3 years later I graduated, got my first job, soon I got married and then my wife and me decided to invest all our savings and future earnings to accelerate the house completion. 3 years later, in 2005, the house was finally finished. Then we focused on the yard and garden - every year we added something: paved the terraces, built the pool, gazebo, pergola, canopy, sunbathing area, depositories, etc.
