Before heading to my favorite festival in Croatia, me and my friends made a stop at Plitvice National Park, and it completely took my breath away. I had seen photos before, but nothing compares to walking through that lush, green paradise in real life.
The waterfalls seemed to pour straight out of a dream, and the turquoise lakes were almost too perfect to be real. I took so many landscape photos, trying to capture the beauty from every angle, the reflections, the mist, the light filtering through the trees.
It was the perfect way to begin the trip, grounding and awe-inspiring. Plitvice felt like stepping into a fairytale, and it made me even more excited for the days to come.
