My name is Mario Lorentz and I grew up in Colorado Springs, but I have lived up here in Denver for the last 7 years. I love to ride my road bike as well as go to the gym. I also like following the stock market which is why I am majoring in Finance and this is my final semester here at UCD.
I have chosen to do my research on the Croatian Coastline because it is so unique with over 1,000 islands along its coast with about 47 of them inhabited. I have been there and was just fascinated by it. I arrived by train to the coastal town of Split and then took a bus down along the coast to the most popular town in Croatia, Dubrovnik. I then took a boat ride to a few islands which was amazing.
For those of you who are not familiar with Croatia, it is located across the Adriatic Sea from Italy and was once part of the former Yugoslavia which broke up in the early 1990's.
I hope by the end of the semester to persuade at least one of you to put Croatia on your travel list.
