Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

This week I traveled about an hour car ride outside of Ljubljana, which is actually found on the other end of the country of Slovenia because it's so small. The entire country is about the same size of the U.S state of New Jersey.

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

I've traveled 4,775 miles from home.

How did I get around this week?:

I walk most places in the center of Ljubljana near where I live, I take the bus to get to work every day, and I took a car to go into the field with another researcher. How did each of you get to school today?

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

The most interesting place I visited was the Ljubljana Castle which sits on top of a hill overlooking the city of Ljubljana. The site of the castle has been settled since 1200 BC and the current castle dates back to the 11th century (around 1000 AD), so it's very old! There's a lot of history to see there as well as some amazing views of the city below and the mountains in the distance!

 

Other Travel News from this week:

I got to try a new restaurant that serves huge platters of Slovenian food with a friend of mine visiting me last week! The platter had roasted vegetables, chicken, different kinds of sausages, potatoes and saurkraut on it.
