Sorry to bump this months later; wanted to ask: How did you adapt to language restrictions? Was English sufficient to get you through and settled?

[@Jasonkenny-]

@@VizierElixir Hi, in the capital city literally everyone speaks English. It’s the language tourists use and I’d say 90% plus speak it. Less so in the outskirts I’m guessing.

[@edzanjero353]

Are immigration laws very restrictive? Could an American couple retire in Slovenia on a moderate income?

[@Jasonkenny-]

@@edzanjero353 if you have the means to support yourselves and can prove it then yes, easily. Depending where is Slovenia you want to live, the property isn’t cheap and neither is food, but it isn’t Norway prices…it can be done, even if it’s more expensive than some places in the US, it’s a nicer, safer, more beautiful place to live. The people are amazing.

A thing about recycling: it's actually mandatory to recycle in Slovenia. We even have inspectors checking our garbage to make sure we seperate our trash and you get quite a hefty fine if you don't do it correctly. Most of us are fully supportive of this because we genuinely care about it a lot.

[@amalkic]

Let me inform you further into something that could be of interest to a Czech person. The word "Hlapec" in Slovenian language could be translated to "slave" - and the plural version "hlapci" to "slaves". Though the direct translation for a word "slave" is "suženj". So much for the contribution to Slovenian - Czech friendship, hehe ;)

[@ntcrb]

Being slovenian is knowing you live in a small hidden paradise and wanting to share the experience, but still wanting it to stay kind of a secret. The issue is that the ever growing influx of tourists is getting prioritized by the government and companies, that are already trying to ruin the natural beauty by changing the land to build resorts or something. Also a lot of landlords now throw out students during summer to accomodate tourists, more and more apartments are becoming airbnb's, prices in bars get higher, ...

[@supersecularboypants]

It breaks my heart to see greed ruling over natural beauty. I guarantee people would not agree with selling our natural water sources and government land, just to see a multinational company come and take it’s resources. That is, in my eyes one of the biggest crimes you can make, and the current ruling party is making this possible. And here I was, thinking we’re living in a democratic society. They all need to be locked up, especially Janez Janša, he needs to go back to jail, he hasn’t even finished his prison sentence yet. This is the TRUE current state of Slovenia.

When we wanted sparkling mineral water with our first lunch in Ljubljana, we asked if they had San Peligrino. The waiter disgustedly replied that they had SLOVENIAN mineral water, which is better. We didn’t really care which mineral water it was, and the Slovenian water was fine, but this was our first taste of Slovenian “pride”. While staying in Lake Bled we drove to a rural restaurant a few kilometers west of town, on a very dark rainy night, and we had a huge platter of mixed meats, rice, potatoes, veggies, etc. more than the two of us could eat (it was called a “half platter” by the way) and it was very cheap, not much over 10 euro. It was kind of early-season and it was out of town, but it was a great price of lots of good food. And we agree, Slovenia is a hidden gem, safe, clean, good roads and beautiful countryside.....kind of a Slavic Austria with a bit of Slavic Italy near Trieste.

As a Slovenian, i really recomend visiting lake Bled. I spent so much time there with my family, i also have some family like 10mins away from the lake. Its so beautifull

[@brizzle3903]

Is late April a good time to visit 🤔

[@ThePenout]

@@brizzle3903 perfectly fine. If you go during the winter ur gona have the snowy ideal, and basicaly any time of the year its stunning.

[@Smucko1]

What is easiest way you can go there without renting a vehicle. Is there an early morning bus from Ljubljana and late return? Will want to spend as much time here as possible time there as possible. Will be there mid-May.

Thank you for such a great presentation of my country. Regards from Slovenia.

[@TravelingisFREEDOM]

This one is a very charming city and easy to get to, I hope I can return to visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!

[@Zori-tranquility]

Wonderful! Thank you for your very nice words about my country and people and I am glad you enjoyed Slovenia. For a bit more, Slovenia also has the sea area of the country, some well-known cities on the Adriatic coast. Also many famous thermal springs. Terme Čatež is the largest thermal spring in Europe! Complex with several hotels and many swimming pools and water attractions. Best regards from Slovenia!

Absolutely gorgeous country and people. I travelled solo and on local buses and trains. Wished I had a rental car to get off the beaten track. But you are right about the cost, certainly have to prepare for the expense, was quite shocked! Came from Venice and Ljubljana was more expensive to eat out than Venice! But I did have the most incredible prawn pasta in my life in Ljubljana, it was unreal (but at Euro 40 it had to be!). Lake Bled and surrounds was incredible and I did not find it overpriced for the value provided in food and accommodation - Air BnB under Euro 100 per night. The Vintgar Gorge walk is an absolute must. Will definitely plan to visit again, I think two weeks with a rental car would be amazing.

[@matejmahkovic]

I'm glad you had a great time in our country. And yes definitely go for the rental car on your next visit, there are so many places you could visit and even just the drive in the countryside is extremely rewarding (I do recommend a drive trough Triglav national park or a visit to Logar Valley in summer or early fall). Hahaha, well I really hope that was the best pasta of your life, because 40€ for a single dish is absolutely ridiculous. It seems you managed to find the single most expensive restaurant in the city. Even 30€ for the full meal (3 courses and a glass of wine) is kind of on the expensive side.

[@ginty9041]

@@matejmahkovic Ha ha! Thanks for your reply. To clarify, the best prawn pasta in my life also came with half bottle of wine included in the Euro 40, so not too crazy!

[@joemichaelobrien]

Another superb video! I absolutely loved Slovenia!

Thanks Joe!

[@zorur1]

Thank you for such amazing presentation.

[@KrunBKK]

Great summary of our country. Regards from Slovenia!

[@evajulijabelic9717]

The thing about us is when we are talking to each other about Slovenia we allways talk about how bad is there but the moment that someone from abroad comes in we somehow find all the best things and claim that our things, our places and our food is the best.

[@xy3zprototype]

thats the thing about you

[@ginty9041]

How often do you talk about your first lady Melania?

[@hanadulset5416]

@@ginty9041 i don't know about other places, but where i come from we don't really care about here. i mean it was talked about her a little bit in 2016, but that's all

[@denis5305]

Your country is the best. Switzerland of the East (-: You have everything - mountains, sea, forests, clean cities and nice people. Let keep it that way

[@krazy.88]

well i think we Slovenes should focus more on sustainable farm tourism (kmečki turizem), thats why Im building apiary log house, got stuck because of crisis but my wish is to offer people from big cities to come and recharge in this beautiful nature Slovenia can offer, surrounded by all kind of animals, and sharing their apartment with bees. I was hosting couple from France who were amazed by the number of butterflies we still have. So you all are welcome, i will do my best to keep Slovenia clean and healthy and make your experience worth the price.
