Chris Tripodi Chris travels because it is the most interesting thing he can think of doing between meals. Anyone can buy a plane ticket, but helping a country come alive through its people, sights, culture, cuisine and customs is what Adventures Abroad is all about. Chris enjoys the inevitable challenges, the unforgettable moments, the warm people, the stories shared, the memories made, and every single morsel of each tour. Read More

Jonathan Hodgson Jonathan has lived much of his life dedicated to the idea that he would rather have a wealth of experiences than a wealth of riches. Having taken up a nomadic lifestyle shortly after finishing his undergraduate degree, he has been on the move on and off over the last 25+ years. The wanderlust has taken him to basing himself in places such as Scotland, Australia and Uzbekistan, and to visiting many more locations around our planet. Now (sort of) settled in Vancouver with his wonderful (and patient) family, he still loves the idea of having the world as his office and always enjoys trying to capture the essence of the locations he travels and tours in with his photography.

TOURS LED:
I have led tours in over 100 countries over the last 17 years of working for Adventures Abroad on all of the continents except for Antarctica.

FAVOURITE DESTINATION:
Where to begin? Each place has something that makes it a special destination. A few that spring to mind: Kaieteur Falls in Guyana; the snow-covered mountains of Ladakh, India; sipping tea in a chaikhana of the old town of Bukhara, Uzbekistan; and watching the changing colours of Uluru (Ayers Rock) at sunset.

EDUCATION:
HBA English BA History

LANGUAGE:
Being able to speak several languages has made travelling an enriching experience; the conversations one can so easily slip into with locals - who come from all walks of life - adds greatly to my feel for a place.

TOURS LED:
Over a span of almost 30 years, I have lead tours virtually all over the globe.

FAVOURITE DESTINATION:
Some of my favourite tours just come into being suddenly as a result of a request; someone will ask me to put together an itinerary that will include the highlights of several countries and the next thing you know we have, for example, a tour to Uruguay, Paraguay & Bolivia, or Lesotho, Namibia & Botswana. Sometimes I will be asked to arrange a detailed itinerary to just one region within a country - like a close up look at Sicily or Crete or the Basque Country or Newfoundland. Without the keen curiosity that so many of you travellers have, none of these "spontaneous" tours would come into being. But they do.

ASK A QUESTION

01. Do you need a visa to travel to Slovenia?

Most visitors entering Slovenia are not required to have a visa as long as they hold a current passport valid at least 90 days past the expected departure date. You may remain in Slovenia, visa-free, for up to 90 days within a 180 day period.

02. Is Slovenia safe?

In general, Slovenia is considered extremely low risk and safe for travellers. Natural disasters are rare, and violent crime rates are low. The biggest concerns are petty crimes such as pickpockets and purse snatchers. Take the proper precautions as you would anywhere, and your risks are limited.

03. When is the best time to visit Slovenia

The best time to visit Slovenia depends on what you like to do. December-March brings cold temperatures but plenty of skiing and winter sports. Summer is the peak of tourist season. June-August affords visitors the opportunity to kayak, hike, and explore the medieval castles without getting frostbite. If you’re looking for temperate weather and thinner crowds, spring and fall are both excellent times to visit. From September-November and March-May the weather is warm enough to hike and enjoy your stay, though the night temperatures make the air frigid.
