A Month with Matthew: In Croatia

Writer Matthew Félix needed to figure out what was next for him, so he went on a month-long solo retreat in a seaside village in Croatia. From the characters he met, to the experiences he had—some funny, some frustrating—to the thoughts, memories, and emotions that came up for him, these are his unscripted stories and ruminations from a month in Croatia.

20 Hitting a Wall and Sunday Morning

The “A Month with Matthew: in Croatia podcast” features travel anecdotes, storytelling, and humor short stories from author Matthew Félix’s solo retreat in a small island village in Croatia.

Matthew hits a creative wall. In spite of himself, he acknowledges there’s no point in forcing it—that it’s part of the creative process. All the same, hitting the wall leads to existential questions and doubts about his efforts and path forward.

Then Matthew shares in real-time his Sunday morning at the marina-side café, including the villagers he encounters and his thoughts on village life.
