Slovenia, Solo travel

I loved this country. If you like hiking, this is the place for you. The water is beautiful and the nature preserve is stunning. There are good mountains to climb, and you can discover big, beautiful caves and hot springs.

Izola / Isola, Solo travel

Izola is an absolutely lovely small seaside town that is a summer vacation favorite for Slovenians (so I heard) and i would say it's a hidden gem to replace a visit to Piran with as it's full of a vibrant life of locals, with small open air concerts etc. I stayed at Hostel Alieti which is a big reason for my good experience since I met a lot of lovely slovenians there of all different ages. Restaurant Parangal was also really good. Not a party town, not a town in general so not much to see, but...

Izola / Isola, Solo travel

Izola is a truly warm and simply beautiful place to slow down. I found the beaches, which are very easily accessible on foot, to be the most beautiful. My favorites were Strunjan Beach and Bele Skale Beach, truly wonderful.

I think overall safe but everything can happen anywhere in this world. So as much as living in Slovenia is safe and travelling here is safe also you should always be careful because you never know what can happen anywhere in this world. Stay safe🤗

Maribor

Maribor is a safe city, there's not a lot of crime or pickpocketing. Chances of getting attacked on the street are pretty slim. There's few weirdos walking around the city but most of them are harmless. Even at night there's not much to worry about even if you walk alone in my experience.

Škofja Loka is incredibly safe - I don't even lock the doors unless I'm leaving for more than an hour. Locals are nice and will help you out, the biggest threat is getting cat called by a drunk in the evening! You'll be safe even if alone at night.

Hello there! I’m from Slovenia 🇸🇮 - that little green country in Europe with more mountains than people. I am a curious and adventurous person, that's why I love traveling and hiking, which help me explore the beauty of this world. I consider myself as a deep person and kind of introverted at first until I get some confidence and trust. Open-minded soul with a love for deep chats, spontaneous laughter and a little everyday magic. ✨ Thinking about my next adventure.. 🌎 Next on my list: - Salzburg, Austria - Prague, Czech Republic - Poland

About me

Hi! I'm Ada and I'm from Poland 😁 If you're looking for a place to stay in Ljubljana, I'm one of the organizers of Autostop House – a project run by the Polish Hitchhikers Association. It's an open house for travelers – not a hostel, but a free place where you can rest, meet other people, and enjoy some relaxing time off the road 🏡✨ You don’t need to message me here on Couchsurfing to ask for a place to stay – just fill out this simple form: https://sites.google.com/autostopowicze.org/autostop-house-2025/ , and one of the hosts from Autostop House will get in touch with you! You can also check out our social media for updates and photos: INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/autostophouse?igsh=N3JicGgxZzFnbnRo FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/share/16XjmBwDcw/ – you're more than welcome to follow and reach out there 😊 As for me – my favorite way of traveling is hitchhiking and sleeping in a tent somewhere in nature, far from any campsites 🏞🏕 I started doing it not just because it's affordable for a student, but mostly because it's the best way to meet people, learn about different cultures, and experience a real adventure 😁 My first big trip was last year – I spent a month traveling through the Balkans, and after that, I knew this was what I wanted to do. Now I'm a proud member of the Polish Hitchhikers Association, and my dream is to become a full-time traveler once I finish university 🤠🌴🏜🏞
