CURRENT MISSION

Save up enough money and find time to go on a RTW travel.

ABOUT ME

I'm a fun loving, easy going person. I love to meet new and interesting people. I love to travel, but somehow didn't have enough money or time to do that more extensivelly. I'd like to make up for it with a RTW travel somewhere in the near future (3 years or so).

PHILOSOPHY

Do I need one?

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While traveling the East coast of US we stayed several days with a friend of a friend in Washington, D.C.. Not really a member of CS community, but the idea was preety much the same. We slept on her couch, she showed us around, she even cooked for us... and it was GREAT. Best time we had in all three weeks. That's why we decided to join CS community.

So far we've hosted:
- Pierre-Luc from Canada
- Art and Leah from Canada
- Myriam and Lianne from Canada
- Sarah from Canada

教，学，和分享

I'm not going to teach you any handy crafts as I am not very good at any. I'm sure you don't want to hear me talking about economic theories and stuff like that. But I can show you the thing I really love - Slovenia.

Sightseeing

There are some "must see" places in Slovenia. Sure, they're "touristy", but for a reason. If you're in Slovenia, you must visit:
- Ljubljana
- Bled and even more so Bohinj, two beautiful lakes in Slovenian Alps.
- Piran and Portoroz
- Karst region
- Maribor and Ptuj, Maribor beeing second largest city in the country and Ptuj one of the oldest, both situated in the north-eastern part of the country, by the river Drava.
- Bovec with its beautiful emerald river Soca . The valley of Soca and its surrounding hills were the seting of one ot the biggest fronts in WW I, the Soca (Isonzo) front, also a setting of famous Ernest Hemingway's novel A Farewell To Arms and a film set, where a sequel to Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is beeing shot.
- Lipica and its famous stud farm
- Postojna and Skocjan caves
- ...

Activities

You can do all sorts of things in Slovenia. Due to its small size and the fact that within 200 km you can find Adriatic sea, Alps and Panonian plain, there's something for anybody.
- skiing
- rafting, canyoning, hydro speed
- paragliding and sky diving
- mountain biking
- hiking and trekking
- diving
- riding a hot air baloon
- visiting one of the adrenalin parks
- or just relaxing in one of many spas

Slovenian cuisine

Once you're in Slovenia, you must try Slovenian food and wine.
