Hi! My name is Barbara, most people call me Barb. I am originally from a small country called Slovenia but I currently work & live in California. I started making videos about my country as a way to stay connected to it but later on also started to share my experience in the US as a foreigner. This channel documents things I have learned, cultural shocks, cultural differences, life in Slovenia and abroad and occasional stream of thought videos. If you like the content, feel free to subscribe! :)
Thank you!

The story goes something like this. A long time ago, God decided where each nation would live. The Slovenians patiently waited their turn... and waited some more... and waited some more, and finally came last. Since all the most beautiful corners of the world had already been given to others, God said: You know, because you were so patient, I'll give you the part of the world I wanted for myself. And so the Slovenians got paradise on earth!

No. 9 without any question or doubt...
Slovenia is truly a hidden precious gem of nature, architecture, outdoor activities and culture in Europe if not the world.

I’ve traveled to Slovenia 3 times for total of 35 days. Yes, the country is extremely beautiful. I traveled via railroads, buses and even rented a car for couple days. The Slovenians are very gracious hosts and enjoyed my visits. Not once did I have a bad or unpleasant experience. My only regret is not making it to Maribor. Maybe next time. Because the country is so small, it doesn’t take very long to get to those places of interest. Whitewater rafting and their network of zip lines on the Soča River is a lot of fun. Then they have a beer fountain in Žalec, the heart of hops country where you can sample various craft brews. The tap water in Slovenia is the best in the world with no chemical taste at all.

It’s amusing to walk in the mountains during summer and greet people you encounter along the way, hearing greetings in many different foreign languages. However, please remember to check the weather beforehand and avoid going into the mountains wearing sneakers or flip-flops. Our volunteer mountain rescue teams often have to assist irresponsible tourists.

Zanimljive i korisne činjenice o prelepoj zemlji! Lep pozdrav iz Hrvaške!🇭🇷🇸🇮❤️

And don't forget the Chocolate Festival every April in the beautiful little storybook town of Radovljica. If you're there outside of April, still stop by the town, check out their Beekeeping or Alchemy museums and the amazing chocolate shop in town. It's only about 10 minutes from Bled, so is a good place to stay if you're just swinging by Bled for a day.

I live in Slovenia for more than 5 years and haven't heard "nad 1000 metri ni greha" before. Learning something new from your videos

[erichalker]

My ancestors are from Slovenia, emigrating to the US. All of this information is new to me, and it’s great to learn about where my family is from.

I went to Slovenia in 2014 for a week to Metal Days festival in Tolmin! It was nice. I went hiking near by twice, the only downside is the water was too freezing to swim in. :D

[TBolivar]

I was there five years ago. Absolutely fantastic, a true gem of a country!

My grandmother was Slovenian. Love your channel.

I guess I understand why my grandparents decided to leave Yelsane Slovenia because of the things going on there at the time, plus they were very poor. I just really wish my mother had taught me the Slovenian language. I love this Slovenian food. I love this Slovenian sense of humor. I love the culture. And Barbara, I love your YouTube channel. Thank you for making everyone aware of how wonderful Slovenia is and the Slovenian culture. Incidentally, my Slovenian you can probably get away with mother loved her wine. In fact, when we buried her, we had her wine glass in her hand. ♥️♥️♥️

Been to Slovenia once in last november, and I love it! Such a beautiful city and people are very nice

[stomic]

The most beautiful country in Europe, with lovely, friendly people. I visit few times a year.

Barbara low key makes the intro be like... _"Have you watched my previous videos?"_
Well played madam... Well played... ☺👍
Also, as a Portuguese I believe that the correct statement regarding your wine consumption is... *_"You gotta up those numbers... Those are rookie numbers."_* 😋

[igreeuropa]

Slovenian watchings today's new upload : 🙂🙂🙂

[ramonacosta]

I didn't know that Barbara was still making videos. I'm glad I stumbled onto this one.

[longform]

VERY IMPORTANT: many people get hurt, die or need a rescue mission every year when climbing or hiking. It is fun but dont take it lightly.
