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.
When his first nap is interrupted by a thundering disturbance, followed by issues on his terrace and a problem animal a few doors down, Matthew has to concede that his seaside village isn’t as peaceful as he initially thought—and hoped. Later, Matthew savors his anonymity.

On the ferry to the Croatian island where he’ll be spending the month, Matthew meets an Australian family living in the Ukraine. As he gets off the boat, he’s met by his rental property manager, a non-English-speaker who nonetheless manages to give Matthew a basic introduction to the island—and drive a stick shift, despite some notable physical challenges. A walk outside of town leaves Matthew with little doubt he has come to the right place.
