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.

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.

Feeling as though the village has gotten just a little too small, Matthew hides out inside all day. By nighttime, he’s stir crazy—which leads to an unplanned walk in the woods and a last-minute quest for wine.

The next day, Matthew is shocked to discover the identity of a little girl trying to get into the café.
