The 20-year-old Spanish girl Ineska Dabrowski from Madrid is a student at the Faculty of Education in the University of Ljubljana under the Erasmus programme. Last year, she decided to prolong her stay in Slovenia. At first, she planned to stay in Slovenia for 5 months only, but the beautiful nature, comfortable climate and hospitable people caused Ineska to stay here a while longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She arrived in Slovenia, or rather in Ljubljana, in September 2017. \u201cI wanted to go to some place I had never been to. To a completely unfamiliar place. I was told that I would study on Erasmus programme for one semester only. However, I liked it in Slovenia so much that I decided to extend my stay for another six months. Ljubljana gives me a lot of freedom,<\/em>\u201d says the Spanish girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDuring the time that I\u2019ve lived in Slovenia, I have visited many places<\/em>. From Piran to Ptuj. I was also on an excursion to Celje. I fell in love with this country primarily because of its nature. In Ptuj, I visited the carnival<\/em>. I also adore Piran. I think that everyone will like it. Most of all, I am fascinated by the mountains<\/em>. The Julian Alps are simply incredible! And, of course, Ljubljana made a special impression on me,<\/em>\u201d Ineska says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn the morning, I ride a bicycle to the Faculty of Education, where I have lectures,<\/em>\u201d Ineska describes her schedule. Then she usually goes to dinner with her friends. \u201cEspecially, when the weather is fine.<\/em>\u201d By the way, like most foreign students, Ineska was pleasantly surprised by student discounts. She also enjoys the possibilities here for leading an active life. \u201cTennis, volleyball and jogging are the kinds of sport that I like most of all,<\/em>\u201d says the student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Friends know Ineska as a very energetic person who likes to spend time outdoors, in the nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn general, I really like the local climate, even though it often rains. However, the frequent rains make Slovenia so unique. Without them, Slovenia would not be so green. Although, to tell the truth, in the winter, I felt homesick for the warmer weather in my native Spain,<\/em>\u201d says the student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI really enjoy spending time in the Tivoli Park. I usually read books, walk, run or just talk with other students in the park. Many people keep pets in Slovenia, and every time I walk in the Tivoli Park, I secretly dream of walking with my dog. In addition to family and friends, I really miss my pet,<\/em>\u201d admits the girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the evening, Ineska often spends time in the dormitory together with her new Slovenian friends. \u201cThey have already taught me a few Slovenian words,<\/em>\u201d proudly notes the student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Ineska, all people in Slovenia are friendly and openhearted. \u201cAt first, I had some difficulties with adapting to a new life and dealing with official formalities, but I always found someone who would gladly help me<\/em>. Of course, the Spaniards and the Slovenes differ somewhat in their nature: the Spaniards are very noisy and open for discussions. The Slovenes seem to me more phlegmatic and calm,<\/em>\u201d Ineska shares her thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStudent Weekdays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
