Weekend Reads #4 - The Travel Hack

This week has been busy but incredible as I travelled to Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. I'm going to be writing all about it next week but I will say now that I LOVED it.

Ljubljana is such a beautiful hidden gem and the small city makes a perfect weekend escape. I was there all week so had time to explore some of the countryside too and was blown away by how gorgeous it is.

You can check out my first two posts here:
