Explore Ljubljana
A fairytale town surrounded by natural beauty, Ljubljana is a place to slow down and connect with local communities, Old World architecture, and outdoor inspiration. But don’t be fooled--there’s also a thriving contemporary and edgy art culture bubbling underneath the scene. Venture outside the charming Old Town for grittier neighborhoods that are vibrant, young, eclectic, and outrageously artistic.

It was a brilliant week, so much so that I'm still here! I had actually pushed my trip back to Australia until the end of the month, so I am taking full advantage of this beautiful landscape and the opportunity to learn this gorgeous photography process. It was a whim that was most definitely worth it! This has been a great trip and all my friends are jealous!
