Bok! (That means “Hi” in Croatian!) My name is Breanna Litviak, but you can call me Bree. I’m 19 years old and was born and raised in Queen Creek, Arizona, where the sun shines almost every day!
I’m now in my second year of college at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York, where I study Marketing and Hospitality & Tourism Management. Hospitality is all about helping people have amazing experiences when they travel, like staying in hotels, visiting new places, trying fun activities, and exploring different cultures.
Until May, I am studying luxury hospitality in Dubrovnik, Croatia, a beautiful city right by the Adriatic Sea. I’m just steps away from the ocean, surrounded by cobblestone streets, ancient stone walls, and bright red rooftops that make the city look like something out of a storybook.
Every day here is an adventure, from trying new foods to learning about Croatian culture and exploring the history that fills every corner of this amazing place. I’m so excited to take you all along on my journey and learn about the world together!
