Join me as I attempt the ultimate slow-motion world tour — one country, one territory, 30 days at a time. That’s right: no passport stamp left behind, no snack untried. While the big adventure gears up, stick around for my wanderlust warm-up — a little chaos, a lot of coffee, and just enough planning to keep things interesting.

Slovenia may be small, but its adventures are anything but ordinary. Where else can you paddle through pitch-black underground tunnels in a flooded mine, lit only by your headlamp and the thrill of discovery? From kayaking beneath the earth’s surface in the abandoned mines of Mežica to hiking emerald gorges, or paragliding over Alpine valleys — Slovenia turns every day into something unexpected. It’s a land where nature, history, and adrenaline meet in the most surprising ways, perfect for travellers who like their stories with a twist.
In Slovenia, food isn’t just a meal — it’s a journey through its rich landscapes and deep-rooted traditions. With influences from Italy, Austria, Hungary, and the Balkans, Slovenian cuisine blends rustic charm with refined innovation. Picture creamy stews in Alpine huts, truffle-laced pastas in wine country, and delicate seafood dishes on the Adriatic coast. Whether you're sampling a seven-course tasting menu at a Michelin-starred restaurant or enjoying homemade štruklji in a village kitchen, every bite feels like a love letter to the land. Slovenia may be small, but its flavors are nothing short of extraordinary.
Slovenia doesn’t just invite you to visit — it invites you to stay in style, soul, and story. From dreamy treehouses tucked deep in green forests to glamping tents with vineyard views, Slovenia’s accommodations are anything but ordinary. You can sleep in a restored castle, unwind in an eco-friendly chalet by a rushing river, or wake up in a glass cabin under the stars. These unique stays blend comfort with character, offering a deeper connection to nature, tradition, and the land’s quiet magic. Whether rustic or refined, every overnight is an experience — not just a place to rest your head.
In Slovenia, wellness flows naturally — quite literally. Beneath its lush landscapes lie ancient thermal springs that have been soothing souls for centuries. From modern spa resorts with panoramic Alpine views to peaceful countryside wellness retreats, Slovenia offers a serene escape for body and mind. Soak in healing thermal pools, unwind with forest-inspired treatments, or simply breathe deeply in quiet oases surrounded by nature. Whether you’re seeking deep relaxation, a digital detox, or just a moment of stillness, Slovenia’s spas aren’t just luxurious — they’re rooted in the earth and designed to restore you, inside and out.
In Slovenia, climbing Mount Triglav isn’t just a hike — it’s a national rite of passage. Standing proudly at 2,864 meters, Triglav is more than the country’s highest peak; it’s a symbol of Slovenian identity, even featured on the national flag. There’s a saying that you're not a “true” Slovenian until you've stood atop its summit — a challenge embraced by generations. Whether tackled as a family tradition, a personal goal, or a proud moment of belonging, the journey to Triglav’s peak is one of unity, endurance, and deep-rooted pride. For Slovenians, it’s not just about conquering a mountain — it’s about connecting with their homeland in the most iconic way possible.
In the quiet towns and mountain villages of Slovenia, tradition is woven—delicately, patiently—into lace. Especially in the charming town of Idrija, lace-making isn’t just a craft; it’s an art form passed down through generations, bobbin by bobbin. With nimble fingers and practiced grace, Slovenian lacemakers create intricate patterns that tell stories of culture, nature, and heritage. These delicate designs once adorned royal garments and now continue to grace homes, galleries, and modern fashion with timeless elegance. Honored by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage, Slovenian lace is more than decoration — it’s a symbol of national pride, patience, and the enduring beauty of handmade tradition.
