Slovenia is ready for its moment in the travel spotlight
Slovenia, at 7,827 square miles, is small enough for visitors to explore in a week. But because of its diverse geography no two days will look the same. Expect to weave your way through tall mountain passes, hike around glacial lakes, descend deep into caves and hit the beach.
The Julian Alps, Kamnik-Savinja Alps and Karawanks Alps are Slovenia's three main mountain ranges, and the Julian Alps are especially stunning, offering the "Slovenia of tourist posters: mountain peaks, picture-perfect lakes and blue-green rivers," said Lonely Planet.
For skiers, snowboarders and mountaineers, this landscape is a thrill, but there is plenty to do for those who like their feet in shoes rather than skis. Take a gondola to Bled Island, walk up the 99-step South Staircase and visit the Church of the Assumption, and later head to Bled Castle. Dating to the 12th century, this is "how most people imagine a medieval fortress to be, with towers, ramparts, moats and a terrace offering magnificent views." The castle also holds armor, weapons and jewelry collections.
The country is "rising as a premiere hiking destination," National Geographic said. Lake Bled offers "excellent" conditions, with shorter, less strenuous paths for beginners. A more challenging time can be had at Triglav National Park, the only national park in Slovenia. The mountain ridge treks here offer prime wildlife-spotting, including chamois, ibex and golden eagles. Slovenia's highest peak, Triglav, stands 9,396 feet tall, and it is recommended that only experienced hikers try to summit it.
Slovenia "makes the most" of its 30 miles of Adriatic Sea coastline, Lonely Planet said, with three seaside towns standing out: Koper, Izola and Piran. Each is known for having "clean beaches, boats for rent and rollicking bars." Izola is surrounded by "wonderfully unspoiled beaches," while "picturesque" Piran is a step back in time, with "cobblestoned streets, Venetian-Gothic architecture and widescreen waterside views."
For fewer crowds, head to the Istrian Peninsula on the border with Croatia. Here, "you'll find beaches and can go truffle hunting and enjoy pristine seafood," Luxury Slovenia cofounder Mattej Valencic said to Barron's.
Primorska, Posavje and Podravje are Slovenia's three primary wine regions, each less than a two-hour drive from the capital, Ljubljana. Podravje is Slovenia's largest winemaking region and where you will find the world's oldest grape-bearing vine, which has grown in Maribor for more than 400 years. It is a "symbol of survival," Wine Enthusiast said, having made it through the phylloxera parasite attack that "decimated European vineyards" in 1870 and World War II bombings.

There are about 45,700 acres of vineyards in Slovenia, producing 52 varieties of white, red, orange, rosé, Malvasia and sparkling wines that "vary from full-bodied to light," Food & Wine said. Plan on stopping at a winery or tasting room, like Rajhenburg Castle, during your visit. Trappist monks who lived at Rajhenburg during the 1800s introduced sparkling wine to the region, and today they are "honored" in the cellar, where guests can sample wines made nearby.
Slovenia has a "distinctive limestone" plateau, known as karst, along with 14,000 known caves, including the "epic" Skocjan Caves, The Independent said. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this massive system has one of the world's largest known underground river canyons, and the cave walls look like they "have been sculpted as a James Bond villain's secret lair." Tours are available, with guides leading visitors three miles deep into the caves; a highlight is crossing the Cerkvenik Bridge above the Reka River and "witnessing the force of the water as it surges through the system."
Dozens of waterfalls appear in Slovenia — both above ground and down below in the caves. Kozjak is one "spectacular" example, Smithsonian Magazine said, a 20-minute hike from the Napoleon Bridge and "hidden between cliffs" along the Kozjak Creek. This is a tributary of the Soca River, described by Lonely Planet as a "magically aquamarine" waterway. During summer visits, consider going rafting or take a hike by the water.

Signs Someone Is American, According To Europeans
Want to know how to spot an American abroad? Ask a European. 'As someone who works closely with American clients through destination weddings and food tours, I've picked up on quite a few telltale signs,' Portuguese tour guide and food critic Carol Batista told HuffPost. From coffee orders to outfit choices to general vibes, many different kinds of signals can indicate someone is from the U.S. While some are endearing, others might raise more than a few eyebrows. 'I try to avoid generalizations ― a Brooklyn creative won't travel the same way as someone from Texas or the Midwest,' said Stéphanie Pons, the founder of Lisbon Insiders. 'But there is a shared sense of optimism, confidence, and curiosity.' Below, find 23 signs that someone is American, according to Batista, Pons, and other Europeans: Comfort-First Fashion 'You'll often see Americans in athleisure, sneakers, baseball caps, or hoodies, even when traveling, which is often a contrast to more polished local fashion in such European destinations like Italy, for example.' ― Jane Iskra, Iceland-based elopement photographer at ISKRA Photography 'That unwavering confidence of walking into a centuries-old basilica dressed like you just left a reformer Pilates class. Think: athletic leggings, oversized hoodie, and maybe ― just maybe ― sandals with socks. Practical? Extremely. Contextual? Not quite.' ― Luli Monteleone, Lisbon-based digital marketing specialist Big Spending Habits 'At supermarkets or stores abroad, Americans often buy in bulk or stock up more than locals, who tend to shop daily.' ― Iskra 'Americans love to spend ― and often do so more generously than other nationalities. But they also like to feel they're getting great value in return. I would say that the mix of enthusiasm and practicality is very American. Coming from a country with much higher wages, they sometimes don't realize how large the gap is. For example, in Portugal, the average monthly salary is about 1,100 € (~$1,250), so what feels affordable to them can seem extravagant to locals.' ― Batista On The Hunt For Iced Coffee 'The iced coffee hunt. Even in the middle of winter ― and ideally in a 500ml cup. There's a kind of dedication there that I honestly admire.' ― Monteleone 'I would say if they have a drink with lots of ice (either water or iced coffee).' ― Steffi Crivellaro, U.K.-based blogger at Steffi Daydreamer Loud Confidence 'One of the biggest indications is usually that you can hear them before you see them. It's not necessarily that they're loud, but they command attention wherever they are, which also leans into how confidence is built in America. I have often found that Americans are very confident. Even if it does not come naturally to each individual, they seem to have been conditioned or taught to be confident, which means they tend to take up space wherever they are.' ― Ronke Lawal, PR and communications consultant in London 'Americans tend to find everything 'amazing,' and they're not shy about saying so ― out loud and often. They speak with a volume that's just slightly above local norms, even when whispering. And in a world where many cultures lean toward discretion, that kind of openness stands out.' ― Pons Stanley Cups 'Reusable Stanley-style coffee mugs are a giveaway ― they seem to go everywhere with them, even when traveling!' ― Iskra 'Carrying a Stanley or huge water bottle.' ― Crivellaro Large Engagement Rings 'The big, sparkly engagement ring tradition is very American. In some countries, engagement rings aren't as flashy or aren't even a thing sometimes.' ― Iskra Jumping Straight Into English 'It's not the accent ― it's the cheerful assumption that English will always do the job. Most locals do speak it, but trying a simple 'ciao' or 'bonjour' tends to unlock a different kind of experience. It's a small gesture, but it changes everything.' ― Monteleone Seeking Air Conditioning 'In the summer, Italians love to stay outdoors: The squares fill up, and the outdoor tables are always the most desired. Americans, on the other hand, almost always choose the indoor spaces with air conditioning. For them, climate comfort is an absolute priority.' ― Diana De Lorenzi, Rome-based lifestyle blogger 'Americans are notoriously hot all the time and expect lots of air conditioning and ice when they travel, two things that aren't so easy to come by in Italy!' ― Livia Hengel, founder of The Italy Edit Warmth and Friendliness 'I've traveled extensively in the US, and if there's one thing I've consistently noticed, it's their amazing ability to start a conversation: openly, spontaneously, as if they already knew the person in front of them. It can be quite disconcerting for us Europeans, but it's a deeply rooted part of their culture. In France in particular, this kind of attitude is sometimes seen as insincere or self-serving. But I've always defended it, I actually find it refreshing to have even a short exchange with someone who is smiling, warm, and quick to compliment your outfit or haircut. Personally, I love good energy, and I take the good where I find it.' ― Kenza Sadoun el Glaoui, Parisian digital creator 'In Ireland, people are known for their friendliness, but we don't have a patch of the Americans. They say hello to everyone, they chat to locals, they ask questions, and it's lovely to see. There's a sort of genuine, open curiosity about an American abroad that I, personally, find very endearing.' ― Tara Povey, blogger at Where Is Tara? Genuine Enthusiasm 'Americans are often very expressive ― big smiles, open curiosity, confident energy. And when they feel they've been well taken care of, they're incredibly grateful. I've had food tour guests react like it was Christmas morning just because of a market tasting or a pastry they'd never tried before, and a bride bringing me a full suitcase with gym clothes as a souvenir from LA — and it's truly heartwarming.' ― Batista 'My partner Luca Veralli is a master gelato maker, and his gelato has been awarded by Gambero Rosso. Every time an American tourist tastes it, they always ― without fail ― say the same phrase: 'Oh my God!' For us, it's a joy. They say it with genuine enthusiasm that truly makes us happy. But it's funny how this exclamation is almost always identical, as if it were a ritual.' ― De Lorenzi, Generous Tipping 'One immediate giveaway is that American travelers are generous tippers ― even though the U.S. is one of the only countries in the world where a 20%-plus tip is expected as the norm. On the other hand, with average salaries nearly double those in Italy, tipping makes sense and is a great way to show appreciation for good service, especially in places where it's not expected.' ― Hengel 'America has a very generous tipping culture, unlike any other country I've ever visited. When Americans travel outside the U.S., leaving large tips is a sure sign of where they are from. In Ireland and most of Europe, we only leave tips if the service or the food has been particularly good, and servers definitely do not expect or rely upon tips.' ― Povey Paying By Credit Card 'Americans always pay by card, even for very small amounts like a 1 euro espresso. This is another cultural difference we see every day.' ― De Lorenzi Wide Smiles and Perfect Teeth 'Americans are known for having great dental care and wide, confident smiles. Smiles and perfect teeth are often one of the first giveaways.' ― Iskra Full Of Compliments 'I've always found Americans to be sweet and genuine! I can especially tell when a woman is American because she'll go out of her way to give me a compliment, and it's usually thoughtful and specific. It happens multiple times a day whenever I'm traveling in the States, and I've never experienced that kind of spontaneous kindness anywhere else in the world.' ― Kelsey Heinrichs, blogger at Kelsey in London Wanting To Customize Everything 'There's a kind of customization instinct ― asking for dressing on the side, almond milk in the cappuccino, or a dinner reservation at 6 p.m. (which still feels like mid-afternoon in Portugal). I see it as a reflection of their strong sense of personal agency, the belief that services can and should adapt to you, not the other way around.' ― Pons, Saying "Like" All The Time Paramount / Via 'The overuse of the word 'like' — especially with people from LA. Sometimes you'll hear 'like' eight times in a single sentence! It's a casual, filler-filled way of speaking, and of course, there's the unmistakable clarity of American English.' ― Batista 'Saying things like 'awesome,' 'you guys,' or the ever-present filler word 'like' always catches my ear with a 99% probability I hear it from an American.' ― Iskra Limited Geographic Knowledge 'A general lack of geographical knowledge is a sure sign. Americans tend to refer to any country in Europe as 'Europe,' as if we are all the same. There is a huge difference between Norway and France; they're completely incomparable. Referring to us all under one sweeping term of 'Europe' or 'Europeans' is sort of ridiculous. I once met an American man who asked me where I was from. When I told him I was from Ireland, he said that he had just been visiting my neighbors. I assumed that he must mean the United Kingdom (which I could understand). However, he then declared that he had visited Italy. Needless to say, neither Italy nor Ireland would ever refer to the other as a neighbor. It would take 27 hours to drive from Dublin to Rome. That's the equivalent of Miami to Minneapolis. Florida and Minnesota are not neighbors.' ― Povey Cappuccino With Dinner Peeradon Warithkorasuth / Getty Images 'If someone asks for a cappuccino with pasta or pizza and also at dinner, you can be sure: They are an American tourist. It's a cultural habit that always makes us smile because for us Italians, cappuccino is a morning ritual, part of breakfast, but it's nice to see how every culture experiences food in its own way.' ― De Lorenzi, Different Portion Size Expectations 'I notice this a lot during food tours ― Americans are frequently surprised by how small European portions can be (while we are shocked when we see their portions). I've heard more than once 'Wait, this is for one person?' and it's always funny.' ― Batista Fast-Moving Itineraries ''I've been to Europe' often means a whirlwind through Paris, London, and Rome in under two weeks. Honestly, impressive cardio — but also, you just missed the good bakery next door. And truthfully? Europe's charm often lives in the quieter, slower corners.' ― Monteleone 'Rushing to include their ancestry in an opening conversation. Don't get me wrong, I love that Americans are so enthusiastic about their heritage, and it certainly does wonders for Ireland's tourism industry. However, they are the only country that does it. Never have I met anyone from outside the US who has launched into their grandparents' origin story when we have just been introduced. While charming, it's definitely a telltale sign that someone is from the US.' ― Povey Steves' Love Of Rick Steves Guidebooks 'In Reykjavík, I immediately pick out Americans out of the bunch because they explore the country using Rick Steves Iceland as their compass. Not Lonely Planet. Or ,odors. Or even a local source. Good 'ol American Rick Steves ― who I met in person when I was his local guide in Reykjavík and is as 'Merican as they come. I'm sure other nations use guidebooks too, but Americans carry Rick with pride. Not tucked away in their backpack, ashamed of getting caught with something as gauche as a guidebook, but loud and proud. Out in the open.' ― Auður Ösp Ólafsdóttir, Iceland-based marketing professional walked That Intangible American Vibe 'As someone who works across lifestyle and hospitality in Europe, I often find myself noticing subtle (and not-so-subtle) clues that someone is American. The most obvious is the accent, but beyond that, there's a specific energy that's easy to spot.' ― Pons 'I somehow pick Americans out of a crowd, but I can't put my finger on how. It's something about how they're built and how they're dressed ― I really can't articulate it. They're just so essentially American that their Americanness shines, even in a culture where you'd think it would be harder to pick them out. Once upon a time, I think Americans just walked around with a certain air of confidence about them. They were proudly American, and you could tell in the way they walked. Nowadays, many conversations with Americans start with apologies. Their once-proud stance has been replaced with slightly hunched shoulders. Like they're aware that tolerance for American politics is wavering around the world and they don't want to take up too much space. But it's still something about how Americans walk in the world that makes them recognizable.' ― HuffPost.

Experience Indigenous culture at this 2-day festival in Ontario — Here's how to get tickets and score a free spot on a powwow bus tour
Get a chance to experience Indigenous cultural heritage by watching Indigenous artists, joining a powwow bus tour, discovering First Nation crafts and trying Indigenous cuisine during a two-day cultural event in Windsor-Essex. Caldwell First Nation will be holding its first Competition Powwow from Aug. 9 to 10 at Caldwell First Nation Reserve, located along Mersea Road 1, in Leamington, Ontario. The two-day cultural event will highlight Indigenous dancers, singers, drummers, cuisine and crafts from across Canada and the U.S. 'The powwow allows us to join with other First Nations from across Canada and the United States to share in this great gathering and exciting cultural experience,' the organizers said on the event's page. 'This is more than just a celebration — it's a high-energy, competitive powwow featuring some of the finest dancers and singers in North America.' Over $50,000 in prizes will be given to the best artists who will compete in different categories. There will be plenty of on-site food vendors offering Indigenous cuisines and local favourites as well as local artisans and craft vendors who will offer handmade jewelry and crafts, the organizers shared in a post announcing the event. Tickets to the event are $10 per person. It's free for children under eight years old and people over 60. Caldwell First Nation along with the Windsor Port Authority and Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island, will be offering 105 people a free bus tour on the first and second day of the event. 'The tour route will take riders along the Windsor-Essex Shoreline to highlight many hidden and ancient Indigenous sites en route to the Caldwell First Nation Reserve in Leamington,' the organizers shared in a release announcing the tour. The region's shoreline along the Detroit River and Lake Erie is home to many historically significant Indigenous sites. Before European settlers arrived in the region, the land along the Detroit River was known as Wawiiatanong and was home to Haudenosaunee, Attawandaron (Neutral), and Huron (Wyandot) peoples, according to information from the City of Windsor. The tour route will take riders along the Windsor-Essex Shoreline to highlight many hidden and ancient indigenous sites. The tour will pick up passengers from Destination Ontario — Ontario Travel Information Services at 110 Park St. E. in Windsor. The tour will explore Indigenous sites, before heading to Caldwell First Nation Reserve in Leamington for the event. Reservations for the bus tour will be open soon and guests can book a slot on their site . There's free parking on-site for those who bring their own car and won't join the bus tour. Powwow bus tour schedule. The Caldwell First Nation also known as the Chippewas of Point Pelee and Pelee Island is part of the Anishinaabe people and a proud member of the Three Fires Confederacy — Potawatomi, Odawa, and Ojibwa, according to information on the Caldwell Powwow site. The CFN has lived on the lands surrounding Point Pelee in Windsor-Essex way before the European settlers arrived. The CFN fought as allies of the British during the war of 1812 and were promised land in return. 'Despite their service, they were forcibly removed from their traditional lands in the 1920s and spent decades without a recognized land base.' The Nation's long-standing land claim was finally settled in 2010 and in November 2020 a 200-acre parcel at Bevel Line Road and Seacliff Drive in Leamington was designated as Reserve Land. After a 230-year long fight the Caldwell First Nation returned home to their ancestral land.

I'm a Solo Traveler, and I'm Eyeing These 13 Amazon Deals on Personal Safety Devices—From $9
I started solo traveling just after college when I put over 10,000 miles on a rental car driving around South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia to update a Lonely Planet guidebook. The start of my first trip was intimidating. I worried about getting tired of talking to myself and feeling awkward about dining alone. But once on the road, I realized how much I loved traveling solo. Doing so offers the freedom to read a book at dinner, skip must-see attractions I care little about, spend a day drinking poolside, and listen to the same song on repeat for hours on end if I feel like it. It's an empowering experience. But as a female solo traveler, I know that being alone comes with a few inherent risks. This is why I always pack some essential safety items before I hit the road–and right now, many of my favorites are discounted. What I pack depends on where I'm going and how I'm getting there. I love digital trackers like Apple AirTags and use them for everything I want to keep an eye on while traveling. I throw one in my checked luggage to be able to locate it if it gets lost. And I place one on my Poppy's collar just to be safe. I'll even throw one in my vehicle when I park at the airport so that I can at least know where it is located if it gets stolen. If you have an iPhone, AirTags are the way to go–and a four-pack is currently $80 at Amazon. Every tagged device's location will appear in your Find My app. Although I've worn money belts as theft security in really dodgy places before, I mostly use mine as a hands-free way to carry my phone, ID, and credit cards when going on a hike or heading to the resort pool. I like Aikelida's travel wallet for this purpose. I like that it has RFID-blocking capabilities. It has two main zipper pockets and two stash pockets inside the larger main pockets. A concealed stretchy mesh pocket on the back makes it very easy to separate and locate items. Amazon shoppers who bought this money belt to wear under clothing also praised it, with one reviewer saying: 'This was so lightweight and comfortable to wear I forgot I had it on.' If you've heard horror stories about shady Airbnb hosts installing hidden cameras in the intimate parts of their homes, traveling with a hidden camera detector can put your mind at ease. This anti-spy camera detector by Huynl is lightweight, portable, and can detect RF signals in frequencies of 100MHz to 8GHz. It has a built-in rechargeable battery that can work continuously for 25 hours and only takes two hours to charge fully. It is also on sale for $47 thanks to an amazing double discount deal. An anti-theft crossbody bag is another must-pack for me, and this one by Travelon is on sale in four different colors. Lightweight but durable, this small messenger bag has RFID-blocking technology to protect thieves from accessing your credit card numbers and personal details through a quick skim (i.e., scan) of your bag on a busy street or bus. It is also slash-proof and cut-proof to help keep you safe from pickpockets. It even has locking hardware that lets you strap it to something at a restaurant or bar. You can't fly with pepper spray or mace, but the TSA has no issues with personal safety alarms, which I find comforting as a solo female traveler. The She's Birdie Personal Safety Alarm lives permanently in my travel suitcase. I like how easy it is to use. If you feel like you are in a dangerous situation, you simply pull the pin on the alarm, and a loud, flashing siren quickly draws attention to the problem. Just slide the pin back into the alarm's body to turn the alarm off. Luckily, I have never had to pull the alarm, which I carry clipped onto my purse or pocket depending on where I'm walking. However, Amazon customers who have purchased it say it works, giving it more than 12,000 five-star ratings. 'I feel much safer in a crowd; all I have to do is pull on this alarm, which starts shrieking," one reviewer wrote. "I keep it pinned to the strap on my purse for easy access." Staying healthy when traveling solo is paramount, and I always consider where my drinking water will come from when packing for a trip. If I'm headed somewhere like Thailand, where most tap water is unsafe to drink, I always carry a water purification device. I like LifeStraw Filter Straw for its portability, ease of use, and ability to filter out more than 99.99 percent of waterborne bacteria and parasites, including E. coli and Giardia. Remove the caps at both ends, submerge the bottom into whatever you are drinking out of, and sip like you usually do. It is hard to believe something so simple can be such a lifesaver, but it really is. The LifeStraw has garnered over 10,000 perfect five-star ratings on Amazon. I rely heavily on Google Maps to navigate unknown cities when traveling solo, and having my phone die en route is a scary thought. So, I always stash a portable battery charger like this one from Anker in my purse. Just knowing it is there gives me peace of mind. Slim and easy to carry, this charger still packs a powerful punch. It can charge my Google Pixel Pro 8 about four times before I need to recharge the charger, and it can also charge two devices at once with USB-C and USB-A ports. It charges my devices quickly, taking about two hours to charge my phone fully. And right now, you can score a few dollars off thanks to an on-page coupon. You really can't go wrong with throwing a luggage cable lock like this one from Search Alert onto your packing list. It is TSA-approved, so you can use it to lock your luggage on your flights to protect against theft during transfers. I've had friends get items stolen from their checked luggage before, so this lock helps prevent that. The lock is also great if you are taking public transport or staying in hostels, as it allows you to keep your suitcase locked whenever you're away from it. I never leave for a road trip without an emergency roadside safety tool kit, and this one from Everlit includes most of what you need to get out of a roadside emergency, including a compact air compressor that can inflate your tire in seconds should you have a slow leak. It also comes with 12-foot-long jumper cables that are longer than standard ones, making it easier to get your vehicle started no matter where it is parked. The 108-piece first aid kit is another perk; so whether it's on sale or not, it's a smart idea to grab it. I carry bear spray on road trips, even if I'm not expecting to run into a bear or a mountain. It can also be used for self-defense against humans when traveling solo, especially when hiking alone or camping. However, if you are going to carry bear spray to protect yourself if attacked by a bear, you will want to know how to use it before setting out. Before spraying a bear, you'll want to diffuse the situation less aggressively by turning your face away from the bear, staying silent or speaking in soothing tones, and slowly backing out of the problem. If this doesn't work and the bear charges, you can use the spray when the bear is within 15 feet. Don't pack your bear spray for a flight, though. It is illegal to carry in carry-on and checked luggage, and TSA will confiscate it. I think phone straps are a brilliant idea for numerous reasons. From a safety perspective, they help keep your phone attached to you and out of your pocket, where pickpockets can nab it. But I also love them for active adventures where I want to take pictures but don't want to drop my phone while scampering up rocks to see a waterfall. The Casetify Rope Phone Strap is compatible with most phone cases and has a two-layer adjustable rope strap to make carrying it anywhere a breeze. Charging your phone via a USB outlet in a public place seems innocent. But what many people don't know is that most USB cables can transmit data, making it easy for someone to hack into your phone and steal stored info like credit cards on file and passwords. It's called 'juice jacking.' Luckily, there is a cheap and easy fix with a data-blocking device like this one from PortaPow. Simply plug your USB cord into the device and then plug the device into the outlet the next time you are charging at an airport or train station. I'm not a big fan of wearing money belts, but I'm all about the bra wallet when I need to stash cash or credit cards in areas where pickpockets operate–it also works great if I don't feel like carrying a purse to a concert and am not wearing clothes with pockets. This comfy, discreet undercover wallet comes in two sizes to fit multiple bra sizes. To use, you just snap the adjustable elastic straps over your bra strap and tuck the pouch inside. It is big enough to hold numerous credit cards, IDs, and even a car key. It also blocks RFID, and the lining of the wallet's interior pocket is moisture resistant. Love a great deal?
