When it comes to my travel the quote 'Leave No Stone Unturned' springs to mind. That's how travel should be, from exploring the furthest corners of the earth, to discovering hidden treasures on your doorstep, taking in a deep breath of the new and undiscovered is like waking up to a sunny day every day, it never gets old. And so it was with Slovenia. The first time I came for love. Now I return again and again. As I have come to love not only the man but his country as well. I HEART Lake Bled (Photo Credit: Mitja Zupanc) Slovenia captures your heart, it takes your breath away with its majestic beauty. One visit is never enough, there's far too much to see, to experience, to indulge. It's a haven for creative types, artists, writers, poets, painters, the vast mountainesque landscape gets my creative juices going and has so far inspired a children's book and a food project (coming soon). Slovenia is a...

Size isn't everything, it's what you do with it that counts

Slovenia. Quite possibly one of the most beautiful countries in the world. ♥ It's happened. We are here. We made the BIG move. We packed up everything we owned (and some stuff we didn't) and drove 16 hours across Europe to our new home. Size isn't everything. It's what you do with it that counts. The Slovenian coastline measures less than 50 kilometers. That's 30 (ish) miles. They may be lacking in quantity, but Slovenes certainly make up for this in quality. This stretch of land is exquisite. From Portoroz to Piran, Izola to Koper. Each town is individual with their own distinct character and feel . I've travelled to many places near and far, it would be a crime not to, as the world is glittered with so many treasures for us to explore . B ut when I saw Piran, my heart did a little skip. Piran, Slovenia It's scary, exciting, nerve-wracking, emotional, dizzying and super challenging, this roller coaster adventure we are on. ...

Exploring Slovenia by Bike: Ljubljana to Izola

I admit. I am a bit of an adventure seeker. I love to explore, often alone. Independent woman that I am! Being new to Slovenia I want to discover new experiences and really see and feel what this beautiful country has to offer. Looking down on Izola - Photo Credit: Matic Zupanc I come from a big city. Probably one of the biggest cities in Europe. But at heart I am a girl that craves a more natural landscape, the majestic silent mountains, the endless blue ocean, the stunningly serene lakes, the sun as it sets over the sea, making it look like a million diamonds were scattered across it... So for me, Slovenia is a little slice of perfection. One weekend I felt inspired to explore more of Slovenia's coastal towns, and how better to do this than with a bicycle! No parking fees, no need for air-con, j ust me, my backpack and my bike. When I told others about my idea I got a mixed response, " You're going alone? Is that safe?" "What if you get a flat...
