An audio documentary presenting true stories about foreigners in Slovenia. We visit them, peek into their lives and daily routines. Take a different look at the people that have come from abroad! Has Slovenia fulfilled their expectations? Is it their land of dreams?
Avtor: Korab Jorgacieski
This week we meet, talk to, and take a walk with a young Georgian living in Velenje. Meet Leli Aronia Zajc, a promising photographer who came here for a study experience, but ended up marrying a Slovenian. Leli has been living in Velenje for around two years now. The community is small but welcoming. She says Slovenians tend to keep a distance at first, but when they open their hearts Slovenia becomes the "best place to end up" :) Leli's music choice: Makvala & Archil Chiklhadze - "Adolescence".

Jacobus, better known as Jacoo, came to Slovenia from South Africa without knowing anyone. Not because of love, not by recommendation and without knowing too much about Slovenia. It took just one stop at the train station in Ljubljana to get him thinking about the idea of starting his work in Slovenia. Today Jacoo has his architecture and design company, owns a van, and likes to hike and move around the country. We met up with Jacoo in Bled and touched on the differences in people and culture between South Africa and Slovenia. Jacoo says Slovenia's nature is majestic, and that Slovenians are curious by nature but don't open their doors very quickly;) Jacoo's music choice: Jacob & Taylor - "Go See Africa".
