Teja Makuc & Tilen Nipič

Volunteers of Hostelling International Slovenia

We’re two young travellers from Styria, Slovenia, who have been travelling around together for quite a few years, discovering the beauty of our world. We prefer to explore hidden gems in Slovenia and admire nature where we unplug and put studying on the back burner for a while. We’re both sporty by heart, so we spend our free weekends hitting hiking trails and cycling. We believe unplanned unique and authentic experiences are the ones that make travel unforgettable. We even increase that authenticity by getting to know the local communities, therefore also creating our own unique experiences. Our trips aren’t complete without local delicacies we happily treat ourselves to, to make the experience just perfect.

We carefully choose each place we visit, so that we always discover something new, and therefore learn and grow. We also carefully plan each our trip because we think a good destination is the key to being able to explore it carefree.

Our motto that we follow and that motivates us when it comes to travelling is as follows: “Life’s too short to be able to travel the whole world, so we need to start as soon as possible!”
