Slovenia

Slovenia is my favorite country of all. It’s the perfect combination of Eastern and Western Europe, and despite it’s small size (it’s about the same size as the state of New Jersey with a fraction of the population), it has mountains, a stunning coast on the Adriatic Sea, a beautiful capital and charming towns and countryside throughout.
