The time alone lets you to not only focus on yourself but also opens the doors for you to clear our the clutter in your life and re-priorities the aspects that are most important. Reykjavik, Iceland    According to the Global Peace Index 2016, Iceland is the safest country in the world. Having been awarded this title for the sixth time in a row, it’s pretty fair to assume that the island nation is a safe destination to explore. But, make no mistake about it, it’s ‘safety ranking’ isn’t the only reason to visit. Iceland is an epicenter of adventure and culture that welcomes five times the size of its native population in tourists each year. ✈ Flights from London to Keflavik,...

  The costume of the region of Gorenjska in Slovenia. In English, this region is sometimes called Upper Carniola. Slovenia is the northernmost part of the former Yugoslavia. The capitol is Ljubljana, and this is their flag. The Slovenian language has around 50 dialects, spoken throughout Slovenia, and in neighboring parts of Italy, Austria, and Hungary. On the southern border, the Slovenian language intergrades with the Kaj dialects of Croatia. In fact, the Kaj dialects are closer to Slovene than they are to the Shto dialect of Beograd. The Slovenes calle their nation Slovensko, which is confusing, because the Slovaks also call their nation Slovensko. Be careful of this, I have seen Slovaks online identified as Slovenian because of this.                                                                  The ...

                                     On the façade of the Old Vine House in the heart of the old city centre on Lent, the Old Vine – the world’s oldest vine – has been growing its roots for over 400 years. The house was built in the 16th century, and the south side, towards the Drava river, has seen no major architectural changes since then. The Old Vine House today and in the past The House used to be a part of the city wall, and often witnessed furious fights between the defenders of the city, and invaders. In medieval times the House suffered from several fires, but the resilient “Žametovka” growing in front of it survived unscathed to the present day. It also made it through World War II bombing, which partially demolished the House. Today, the Old Vine House is a temple of wine tradition and culture of Maribor, Styria, and Slovenia, offering guided tours of rich wine patrimony a...

Laufarija  :   Cerkno's own rite of spring Cerkno - As carnival ravelling reaches its climax in Slovenia this weekend, the otherwise quiet town of Cerkno in the west of the country will hold its own unique rite of spring, called the Laufarija. Its central event is a mock trial in which the Pust - a horned creature clad in moss that personifies winter - is convicted to death for all the bad things that have happened locally and the world at large in the past year. Apart from a jury and a judge, the whole affair involves a cast of 25 different costumed characters, known as the Laufarji or Runners, named so after the figure who is always running around. Each member of the family wears one of the distinctive costumes and masks carved from lime tree wood. Some of these are archaic, originating from pagan times, while others are new additions. These represent either a local trade or craft - such as the innkeeper - or display certain character traits or afflict...

Slovenia, country in central Europe that was part of Yugoslavia for most of the 20th century. Slovenia is a small but topographically diverse country made up of portions of four major European geographic landscapes—the European Alps, the karstic Dinaric Alps, the Pannonian and Danubian lowlands and hills, and the Mediterranean coast. Easily accessible mountain passes (now superseded by tunnels) through Slovenia’s present-day territory have long served as routes for those crossing the Mediterranean and transalpine regions of Europe. The Slovenes are a South Slavic people with a unique language. For most of its history, Slovenia was largely controlled by the Habsburgs of Austria, who ruled the Holy Roman Empire and its successor states, the Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary; in addition, coastal portions were held for a time by Venice. As part of Yugoslavia, Slovenia came under communist rule for the bulk of the post-World War II period. With the dissolution of the Yugoslav fede...
