Christmas in Slovenia – Slovenia itself

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.


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!

A breather in Bulgaria – Plovdiv

<Slightly out of order, I know… bear with me!>

Plovdiv was a quick stop on our adventure – specifically a drive from Sofia to Sinemoritz – but dear lord it was beautiful.

Ancient ruins, amazing food… just such a great time all around, with amazing times and good friends!
