We fell in love with Slovenia together during the pandemic when we first started dating. Whenever we return, it always feels like home. Slovenia is one of the few less-discovered gems of Europe. It's a very small country (for the Americans, it's a bit smaller than New Jersey), which makes it very fun to travel through. It combines the best of both Eastern and Western Europe. For those used to traveling around the latter, you'll enjoy comparably lower prices on everything from food to accommodation. We highly recommend you treat this celebration as an excuse to explore some places you otherwise wouldn't have thought to.
