Dragon was very sweet and you could easily sense her love for her home city. She certainly showed us the highlights for the tiny town of Kotor. Unfortunately her timing wasn't great and the seminar was over in 45 minutes, She could have included sights in other parts of Montenegro, spoken about places to stay and eat, etc.
Very good overview of Kotor, main sites and places to see. I would like to hear a bit more on the history and the period of Venetian rule.
A charming presenter and lovely visuals, but there just wasn't enough depth of content to this presentation. It was a nice way to whet one's appetite perhaps (like a segment on a travel show) but needs a lot more background and historical context to be really interesting.
I hope the speaker can develop it into something more engaging in the future.
