Only 1 hour sail away from Dubrovnik, in the Adriatic Sea, are the Elaphiti Islands. This archipelago, consisting of 13 small islands, has 3 large islands which are inhabited: Koločep, Lopud and Šipan. We visited all three islands. Koločep is the smallest island and also the southernmost permanently inhabited Croatian island. We filmed with our dron the bay in which we were with our catamaran on a pier. The typical Mediterranean vegetation is clearly visible here: due to the many dry and warm days, there are many pines (so conifers instead of deciduous trees), palms, olive trees, stately cypresses and succulents are also common. in the Middle Ages, Koločep used to be an important shipbuilding site. For instance 2 members of Christopher Columbus’ crew of the year 1492, were sailors from this island. Now about 230 people live here.

In front of the old town of Hvar, are the Paklinksi islands. It’s only half an hour of sailing, so you can actually see the islands already when you are in harbor of Hvar. We anchored in between 2 of the small islands (it’s an archipelago of 18 islets). You could smell the scent coming from the dense pine forests from the uninhabited small islands. "Paklina" means "tar", and in this case refers to the pine resin once used to coat ships that was harvested on these islands in front of Hvar. We flew with our drone over the islands and you can see the beautiful colors of the Adriatic sea.

For the 5th time I was a speaker at the largest 4-day conference for trainers: the ATD International Conference & Expo. ATD (Association for Talent Development) hosts this event every year in May and about 10.000 learning professionals come to visit. My workshop was on day 4 and titled: ’10 Brainboosters in Online Training’: https://atd24.eventscribe.net/fsPopup.asp?efp=UUpZWUdDRFAyMDE4MA&PresentationID=1367655&rnd=0.5795186&mode=presInfo Around 400 learning professionals visited my session! I spoke about 10 facts and exercises that you can do as a live online trainer live that helps your audience focused during an online training, engaged and energetic. It’s a topic that many learning professionals found interesting, because they want people enjoying online sessions. I enjoyed giving the session about 10 brainboosters, I also told about the E-book 100 online teaching forms that I wrote and I sold E-books as well during that conference: https://experttrainers.nl/e-book-100-online-workingmethods/ The e-mails and LinkedIn messages of participants I received the day after, were very positive, so I was happy!
