Paul Bradbury rođen je u kišnom Manchesteru, a 2002. preselio se u na sunčani Hvar kad je kupio kuću legendarnog Varteks modela Antuna Franičevića. Život u okolici Varaždina dijeli s Mirandom, divnom ženom koju je upoznao na Jelsi i njihove dvije kćeri. Paul je „vrući čovjek“, uvijek u kratkim rukavima čak i na buri. Izuzetak je prigoda kad nosi Varteks odijelo. Kao pravi Englez koji cijeni klasiku i dobar stil, Paul je odabrao Varteks odijelo izrađeno iz vrhunske Loro Piana Four Seasons 130’S tkanine.
Paul Bradbury was born in the rain in Manchester and moved to the sunshine of Hvar in 2002 when he bought the house of legendary Varteks model Antun Franičević. He married lovely Miranda from Jelsa and they now live near Varazdin with their two daughters. Famous for always wearing kratki rukavi (short sleeves) even in the bura, the only time he wears long sleeves is in his Varteks suits. As a real Englishman he appreciates good style and classics, so Paul picked Varteks suit made from superb fabric Loro Piana Four Seasons 130’S.
Paul je glavni urednik i vlasnik najvećeg novinskog portala o Hrvatskoj na engleskom jeziku, Total Croatia News (TCN skraćeno). TCN je za čitatelje engleskog govornog područja glavni dnevni izvor informacija o politici, ekonomiji, životu, putovanjima i sportu u Hrvatskoj.
Paul je dobio nekoliko međunarodnih nagrada za svoje zalaganje u promociji Hrvatske na međunarodnoj sceni, a najznačajnije među njima je za promociju Hvara i Splita na web stranicama Total Hvar i Total Split te za promociju Adventa u Zagrebu.
Paul runs the largest English-language news portal in Croatia, Total Croatia News (shortened TCN). TCN provides daily information about politics, economy, life, travel and sports in Croatia. Paul won several awards for his contribution for promoting Croatia internationally, with most notable ones for websites Total Hvar and Total Split that provide a complete guide to the island of Hvar and Dalmatia’s biggest city Split and for promoting Zagreb Advent.
Ovih dana Paul otkriva neotkrivenu Hrvatsku: engleski pub u polju pokraj Vinkovaca, splitskog vinara koji ima vinski podrum u nuklearnom bunkeru, posljednjeg tragača za zlatom na Dravi. Zanimljiva činjenica Paulu: “Jednom sam morao uživo na televiziji u Sibiru pokazati kako se jede maslac od kikirikija.”
His main interests these days are discovering undiscovered Croatia. For example, an English pub in a field near Vinkovci, the only winemaker in Split with a winery in a nuclear bunker, or meeting the last gold prospector on the Drava. Fun fact about him few people know: “I once had to give a live demonstration on television in Siberia on how to eat peanut butter.”
