Rudolf Abraham is an award-winning travel writer and photographer who specializes in Croatia and Eastern Europe. He is the author of a dozen books, many on Croatia and surrounding countries, and his work is published widely in magazines and online. He first visited Croatia in the late 1990s then returned to live in Zagreb for two years. A fluent Croatian speaker, Abraham continues to spend several weeks a year in his favorite country in Europe. Thammy Evans first traveled to Istria in 1989 when it was a part of Yugoslavia. She later learned the language, serving with NATO in Dalmatia and Republika Srpska. In 2003, she and her husband, both of mixed heritage, settled on the minuscule peninsula of Istria, attracted by the duality of its cosmopolitan and secluded nature. As a keen hiker, diver, an aspiring archaeologist and a big foodie, the immediacy of the Istrian outdoors, vineyards, underwater world and sunshine are an Adriatic home away from Evans’ childhood home in Wales. Involved with local friends in nature conservation and the local green agenda, Evans contributes to moving Istria to a renewable and regenerative future, and annually tracks the effects of climate change and warming seas in her diving endeavors there. As a travel writer, her other Bradt guides cover North Macedonia and the Great Wall of China.
