Christmas in Slovenia – Llubjana

Standard

Christmas 2025 saw us on an Adventure – Andrea’s friend was working at a 3-star Michelin restaurant in Slovenia, HiÅ¡a Franko, and we had the opportunity to join her for a dinner and some adventuring. We jumped at the chance, hopping a flight into Northern Italy before the drive out into Slovenia itself… with a few exciting adventures along the way.

Well, we’re in Slovenia… a trip to the capital should clearly be in the books, right?

Right. Of course right – adventure awaits!


Frankly, not too much to type out here. The three of us went on a days adventure into Llubjana, adoring the drive and appreciating the amazing views we had on the way in. Then kicking around the city, visiting the Christmas markets and wandering around appreciating the architecture and enjoying the people watching. Grabbing snacks as we were hungry, and dinner when the snacks no longer covered it. Coffee as needed, of course.

Yeah. A very lovely day of adventure.

The end of December, 2025

Throughout our adventures, we had opportunities to explore and enjoy Slovenia itself – aside from the specific towns and restaurants, there were just so many cute spots and beautiful views for us to take in.

It was relaxing – calm and quiet, after a year of Master’s courses, projects, chaos, job applications, and uncertainty. A bit of an oasis, where we did our best to disconnect from the world and reconnect with each other and our enjoyment of travelling and exploring.

Thanksgiving in New England – Kicking it in NYC

Standard

Thanksgiving! Last year, Thanksgiving was a bit too busy for me to fly back to the United States… classes, and general insanity, conspired to keep me in Dublin. Which, frankly, was a perfectly lovely time with friends and classmates. 2025, however, had none of those challenges… and thus, saw Andrea and I winging our way to New England for a well-deserved holiday…

Our second day in New York City was mainly aimed at seeing a matinee on Broadway… but until that started, we had a bit of free time to explore.

Thus – we explored!

Andrea had a few spots that she wanted to explore on her own, so my Mom and I headed out, forging into the city with the goal of… Well, with the goal of just forging into the city.

As such? We forged into the city!
