Get to know me.......


Why do you think activity holidays are worth trying?

It is a really fun occasion for friends and families to come together and experience beautiful nature, whilst at the same time having a thrilling experience. You meet like minded people, try many sports which are not possible in some countries and you leave with the most amazing memories. I think, if you only try it once in your life, then you must.

What are your favourite adventure activities to enjoy in Tolmin? And Why?

I really enjoy a combination of both land & water based activities. My favourite land activity is mountain biking. I have cycled all over Europe, but for me Slovenia has the most special feeling. In the water, then it has to be either water rafting or Canyoning. White water rafting is the most fun, working as a team, sharing the adventure at every twist and turn with your friends. Canyoning is always a surprise, offering unexpected pleasures, it makes me feel like a big kid again. It wouldn’t be an adventure holiday without trying this.

What are your typical job roles? Any favourite parts?

I work both within the activity holiday office and leading our groups on adventures. My favourite part is being with clients. I love to see the smiles on their faces. I have a passion for nature and sports, and to see families, couples & schools come here again and again, and share the enjoyment of my passions, it’s a great feeling. I’m lucky to do a job I love and meet so many nice people. Yes the hours can be long, but its totally worth it.

Best memory during your time working in adventure holidays in Slovenia?

So many too choose. But the very best has to be making so many best friends. I’ve been lucky to work with so many great people. We are all a big family now. Also, I love to see the children develop their skills and take on rapids without fear. Kids are full of energy, and this reminds us all to enjoy our time now!

3 words (only) to describe the Soca Valley & the Tolmin region?

Green, spectacular, breathe-taking (I’ve cheated, I used 4 words!!!!)

Slovenia is the only country to have the ‘Love’ in its name, but why do you love Slovenia?

This is my home from home. 1hr 30min from the UK, this is the place to come for sports and adventure. Slovenian people are welcoming, the food is great and prices are cheaper. It’s easy to love this country.

The greatest debate of them all. What is the best Slovenian beer. Lasko or Union?

I recommend 'Union'.

What do you like about Slovenian food? Any favourite dishes?

The food is more organic, more than often, it is locally sourced. Especially in Tolmin, where the food is all 100% locally sourced. There are no surprises or strong spices with Slovenian food. I would describe it, as hearty, fulfilling & tasty food. My favourite Slovenian treat is Potica cake (Pronounced paw teet zah). After a day of rafting or biking, I always look forward to a slice of cake.

Any other remarks?

I look forward to seeing you in Tolmin. Here is the very best place to try adventure sports, meet great people and relax in green surroundings. Our summers are very nice, temperatures are great!
