Why Slovenia?
I’m fascinated by learning more about countries and cultures I know nothing about! Slovenia definitely fits into those parameters for me because going into this abroad experience I knew next to nothing about it. From what I’ve seen at a short glance, Slovenia is a culture rich with traditions unique to its corner of the world. Not only that, the breathtaking and diverse landscapes look like scene from a fairytale. It’s the adventure of a lifetime.
What Slovenian landscape feature are you most excited to see, and why?
It’s a tie between the Soca River and karst caves! As someone who has grown up around mountains, it’s exciting to experience a different type of beauty. If I’m not hiking or mountain biking, I’m most likely doing anything involving water (kayaking, paddle boarding, etc.). The caves will help me get out of my comfort zone, and the river is the perfect destination for my love of the water. I’m thrilled to explore these spectacular places!
