This past weekend was the first weekend I have traveled while abroad in Europe, and being a regular skier I of course wanted to ski in the Alps. While I could have gone to Switzerland like most people do, I decided instead to go to Slovenia! Me and 4 of my friends went skiing in the Julian Alps and it sure was an interesting time full of fun, adventure, and the ever intriguing thought of being in a different country.

We first embarked from the train station Roma Termini to Gorizia Centrale, the border town of Italy and Slovenia. Once at Gorizia Centrale and hopping on a bus to the border it was crazy that we were able to literally walk across the border. There was no border patrol or anything of the kind, which for us as Americans was definitely a strange thought.

After waiting for just a little bit and getting some what adjusted to the Slovak language we were going to hear for the next several days, we hopped aboard another train that took us to Bohinj, Slovenia. This small little town was where we decided to ski. It was a crazy thought to have such a large attraction as a Alpine Ski hill with such a small town being the entry to it. Nonetheless we found our way.
Once in Bohinj we had to make our way to the Hostel Pod Volgom (another adventure on a bus). This time I was able to put my German language skills to good use since the driver spoke no English, only German. He was so surprised and thankful that an American knew German that he had to shake my hand and make sure I had a wonderful trip. I thanked him for being so helpful by saying, "Danke schön, mein Freund!
