Pros and Cons of Living in Slovenia

"No crime, great accessibility to other countries via train, good food, good wine. No traffic. Merchants operate on the honor system. Big Bang which is the electronics store, trusts you to walk your new electronic item to the front register on the floor below. Did I mention no guns, no crime," said one expat in Bled.

"Expats in Slovenia appreciate the country's rich cultural heritage, which includes a variety of traditional festivals, music, and art. They also enjoy the friendly and welcoming nature of the locals, who are always willing to help out and share their knowledge. Additionally, expats appreciate the stunning natural beauty of Slovenia, with its mountains, lakes, and forests. Finally, expats enjoy the country's excellent cuisine, which is a mix of traditional and modern dishes," said a person living in Slovenia.

"There is also a bit of nihilism here on the part of population who longs for the good old days with Tito and who are paid very poorly for the most part, even the professionals," replied an expat in Bled.

"Expats in Slovenia often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as Slovenian is not widely spoken outside of the country. Additionally, the local customs and etiquette can be difficult to navigate, as they are quite different from those of other countries. Expats may also find it difficult to adjust to the slower pace of life in Slovenia, as well as the more relaxed attitude towards punctuality. Finally, the cost of living in Slovenia can be higher than in other countries, making it difficult for expats to adjust to the local economy," remarked one in Slovenia.
