Following Slovenian Trail

Next week Monday starts my Slovenian journey. Its gonna be a long 10 hrs drive to Ljubljana from Gent and most likely I’ll be deadly tired. The last weekend job before the holiday finally begins doesn’t seem less challenging either.
Anyway, Slovenia……..here I come!!!

Here is the basic plan of the journey from 18th August till 3rd September:

18th.......... Drive to Ljubljana
19th- 21st.... Ljubljana
22nd-23rd..... Novo-Mesto and river Kolpa area
24th-26th..... The eastern areas (Maribor, Putj)
27th-29th..... Triglav National park
30th-31st..... Ljubljana
1st -2nd...... Venice (Italy)
3rd........... Fly back to Belgium from Venice Treviso



The first part of the journey would be wandering around Ljubljana. I’m still searching a couch in Ljubljana but I haven’t been so lucky enough yet to find a host for me. Its coz I have been really busy lately and don’t have time enough to write CS requests. But I do have a host in Novo Mesto. During the Park visit, I will be staying at the park’s little huts!
Rest of the accommodation plan is still needed to be updated.

Hehe, if you have a couch free in Slovenia, Plssssssssssss do let me know! I Promise im gonna be a good guest!

There is a reason why I chose Slovenia for my east European trip. Well, Paulo Coelho, obviously! His book “Veronica decides to die” tells about a Slovenian girl. I, as an amateur translator of his books, thought it very necessary to visit Ljubljana before even I think to translate that book. His books have impressed my life in a deep way and I really hope to translate few other books after Alchemist.

Except this, rest is all back to normal! Summer is absolutely at its full speed and I’m doing my best to cope with it. I had a very busy and Gentse Feesten and had few days spent in Paris too. I guess I needed that peace from Paris to clam myself after those wild festival nights!

The blog was supposed to be updated frequently but it hasn’t been so. It has rarely become a blog to post my poems every now and then.

Anyway, life has its own turns and I just had to accept it. There were days when I would have liked to share many things about me but lately it has become more personal things and the blog hasn’t been as it was supposed to be. I hope my readers (if there are any ;-) ) weren’t disappointed for that.
To mention, Archana Khadka, a special friend of mine is flying to US on the same day I’m beginning my journey. She will be studying micro-biology for few years. I’ve been telling her the stories of studying abroad and hope she will have a fantastic time over there. I will keep my finger crossed!

Well, for my journey, I will try to keep myself closer to nature and avoid being a typical tourist. I’m very much open to my trip. I don’t like to travel in planned schedule anyway. Once I arrive in Slovenia, all I would be keeping in mind is my flight back to Belgium from Venice Treviso on 3rd of Sep. So, if you know any interesting place that this "Nepali-Belgian" guy should see, then your advices are highly appreciated. One thing for sure, I wanna see real Slovenian people, eat Slovenian food drink Slovenian beers and visit rural part of the country so that I can proudly say I HAVE BEEN to Slovenia.
