    It's so nice to see people discovering my home country in genuine and not "fancy travel bloger" kind of way and seeing what this small underrated country has to offer. Very good job at documenting your trip 👌
    Wishing you safe travels in the future. Keep up the good job.

    Aww yay I walked through Tolmin, but didn't have time to see the gorge. Triglav looks so beautiful I hope I will go back to explore it some more. I even spotted the red & yellow concentric circles at 17:06 which forms part of the E7 European hiking trail that cuts through Slovenia, which I based my hike on. You even went to Kobarid!! If you had carried on along that road to the Italian border that's where I started my hike 😊

    • @SammyandTommy

    Thanks for not going into that cave without a guide. There's a great reason for it, spelunking can be quite dangerous and you really want the whole kit with you, limestone is always sharpest where your helmet hits it, and if there's no helmet, well...
    Also, you'll need a ball of yarn to unwind, these caves sometimes branch in 3D.

    • @SammyandTommy

    I have two questions:
    1. How do you fund your travel in general? Do you have any savings? How much time did it take you to save that much? Or you're currently working? What is or was both of your professions?
    2. How much did it cost you this particular trip? Home to home travel, Airbnb, park entry ticket, food, car travel etc (excluding equipments)

    • @SammyandTommy
      @SammyandTommy  3 роки тому +3

      Hi Patrik! We saved for about 3 years before we left. Travel is definitely personalized and everyone will have a different budget/expectations. We opted for an average of around $100 a day, some days we were way under and some days we were over. For our entire Slovenia trip over 10-12 days we averaged $101 a day, so we were in budget! We like to stay in cheaper Airbnb’s and spend more money on good food/drinks/entertainment. Everyone’s trip will be different depending on your interests. Please feel free to email us with any other questions or if you want more in depth answers ☺️ thanks so much for watching!!

      Name is Drežnica and is near by Kobarid town. Also all valey is a museum of Isonzo front from ww1, where a lot of soldiers have died. In town Kobarid is well known museum of ww1, which was awarded as a best small museum in Europe. You have to visit it. And when you will be at Tolminka gorge, you should follow road to the mountain - vilage Čadrg, where is one of the best cheese production of eco cheese. There was king of Sweden visiting vilage with home meda food.
