Just got back from an insane trip to Croatia. We completely skipped the daytime sightseeing and went all in on the nightlife. Met some great guys out there who made the trip even better. It was my first time at Hideout Festival, and it totally lived up to the hype. The music and energy were incredible, honestly flawless.

Only downside is they definitely oversold it. The festival is set across a beach strip with different clubs, and some queues were rumored to be two hours long. I didn’t wait that long, but I did a solid hour once, and when the line finally moved, the crowd started shoving like mad. Not ideal. Also, one night the heavens opened never seen rain like it but people were still buzzing and dancing in the pools soaked through. Wild. Oh, and the sheer amount of people on balloons was crazy. Everywhere you looked, someone had one.
