I first encountered Vesna via emails. From the very beginning, her emails were professionally friendly and truly interested in my desires and intentions with my trip to Slovenia December, a 5 week stay. She offered great suggestions with the caveat that it was winter and also holiday time. Since she has developed many worthy contacts, I was so intrigued with her many and varied suggestions. I informed her that I love nature hikes and especially interested in nutrient-rich foods. Being a Chapter leader for the Weston A. Price Foundation, I was avid to see cheese-making, bee-keeping, charcuterie, raw milk vending machines, vineyards, farms and places beyond the usual tourist menu. I was most interested in naturally prepared foods and in artisan foods. Vesna was able to offer me all of the above and more. I was so impressed with her unique services and how she kept my requests uppermost in mind. I met Vesna in person in Ljubljana and all welcoming smiles and warmth of presence. I felt I was in the best hands ever to introduce me to the best Slovenia had to offer at the time of year. Then we went off to the countryside! Our first destination was to a beekeeper’s shop where I desired bee pollen, royal jelly, raw honeys and honey elixirs to assist me to stay well for my entire visit. Then we went on to more adventures that I named PURE SERENDIPITY. Vesna always arrived on time and with a plan for the day along with a curiosity and openness to opportune moments and experiences that gave me the most incredible memories and insights into what is the REAL Slovenia. We took hikes through vineyards and enjoyed a picnic among the vines of an omelet with herbs from her garden. The omelet, the sunshine and the setting was divine. We went to medieval towns, country side taverns including a trout restaurant that served the best trout I have ever tasted. I made a calendula salve that assisted me to heal a dermatitis on my chest. The calendula and lavender she had personally picked as Vesna has a great knowledge of local herbs, mushrooms, natural curative plants and edible wild plants. I truly enjoyed Vesna’s cheerful nature and her historical anecdotes of the towns and villages we visited. Her vast knowledge and ability to teach and share and impart this knowledge with clarity and with passion for her beautiful country so rich in history, beauty and nourishing foods was impressive. The whole time I spent with her was beyond worthwhile as she has an instinct for serendipity and the ability to be open to the magic of the moment. If you desire to see and experience the very best of Slovenia including the fine cuisine, and have the privilege of Vesna’s knowledge and passion and attentiveness to what interests YOU the most, I recommend her unique services highly. I intend to return to Slovenia one day to experience the summer season, cherry blossoms and harvest and more serendipitous days with Vesna.
