Dear HUPE colleagues and friends, we have exciting news for you!

We are thrilled to announce a very special guest at the HUPE 2025 Conference — Paul Bradbury!

Before we get into the official bio, here’s how Paul likes to describe himself:

"I am also the oldest (and definitely the fattest) TikToker and YouTuber in Croatia, enjoying life while not taking myself too seriously, as you can see from my latest books — Around the World in 80 Disasters, Croatia, a Survival Kit for Foreigners, and Lebanese Nuns Don’t Ski."

Born in rainy Manchester, Paul made his way to Croatia’s sunniest island — Hvar — via Somaliland. As the founder and CEO of Total Croatia News, the largest English-language news portal about Croatia, Paul has spent over two decades uncovering the country’s lesser-known treasures.

Title of his talk: "A Foreigner’s Tale: 23 Years of Discovering Croatia’s Hidden Charms"
