I'm often asked how I got into the travel industry. It's a funny story that actually began after our honeymoon. After our trip, I found ...

The Ljubljanica River that goes through the city

One place I've always dreamed of visiting was Ljubljana, Slovenia, my grandmother's hometown. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem.


Ljubljana is a small, charming European city that's never too busy but always interesting. The Ljubljanica River flows through the city center, creating a picturesque riverwalk lined with cafes and restaurants. It's a great spot to relax, dine, and enjoy the local atmosphere.


Exploring Ljubljana was a calming experience, far from the hustle and bustle of a metropolis. Be sure to walk across the iconic Dragon Bridge and visit the Love Bridge (officially called Butchers Bridge), where you can leave a padlock as a symbol of your love.


Ljubljana is rich in mythological history, which you'll notice throughout the city. On the Love Bridge, you'll find a large statue of a disemboweled man, believed to represent Prometheus.


I can't recommend Ljubljana enough. It's a truly special destination that you should experience for yourself.
