🇭🇷  Is Croatia The New Ibiza Let's FINALLY put this to bed!. Living and working in both Ibiza and Croatia, I have LOST COUNT of the number of times I have been asked this. So, I have finally put together my thoughts on the topic, which will be published on One More Tune tonight. 🎙 It’s completely impartial, honest and comes from my own personal experience, and NOT the BS copy-and-pasted clickbait garbage articles that get published year in, year out by mainstream media. 💭 My thoughts will, hopefully,  bring you up to speed with both popular dance music locations. 📍 Both these destinations are world-class, but they are NOT the same, and that’s a good thing.
