Dear traveler! I love to connect with people and I am totally in love with our little sLOVEnia! ;) I live in Ljubljana, a small, lovely capital, where I finished my studies. I love foreign languages, history and nature and traveling has always been my greatest passion. My 28-year-long career as a local guide and trip leader has brought me into contact with travellers from all over the world, in several foreign languages. Besides that, in the past I lead Slovenian guests to different overseas countries. Slovenia is a small 'green patch' of Europe. It's the only country whose name contains the word 'love'. At your visit, you will see why. It's a small country of big beauty and full of small discoveries. Check out our national anthem, called 'Zdravljica' - 'The Toast' http://www. preseren. net/ang/3_poezije/13_zdravljica. asp) Traveling opens horizons, strenghtens torelance and makes people happier. That's what happens to me, when I travel myself. Therefore, when I guide, the hapiness of my guests is my primary goal. I've got a lot of experience in driving/guiding by car/van and safety is very important for me. I'm professional, knowledgeable, open, fun. . . and my guests often comment: 'your enthusiasm is contagious'. . . ;) I'll be very happy to help you in advance with your holiday planning , so your Slovenian experience will be trully unforgettable. "Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

Slovenian Karst Region Discovery with a local private guide
Overview of your Ljubljana tour
I love discovering underground of Slovenia. We've got more than 12. 000 caves and I have visited a lot of them so far, also some little ones, where no guides are available. Parts of Slovenia look like cheese underground, it is full of underground breathtakingly beautiful karstic phenomena. The Postojna Cave is a 21-km long karst cave system, a web of underground passages, galleries and chambers, which has in almost 200 years been visited by over 33 million people. There's almost no corner in the cave without a beautiful stalagtite, stalagmite, a curtain or similar. The cave boasts with the oldest underground train in the world, which we will use partly to explore this underground jewel. Visit the Predjama castle, a mysterious fort-like building close to the cave. Kras area is due to its pleasant Mediterranean climate and looks everyone's favourite area. It is full of sleepy medieval villages on hilltops, surrounded by vineyards. The most known is beautiful Štanjel.
