The Slovenian anthem has just been sung in Nice, at the end of the Tour de France for Tadej Pogačar, who entered the history of cycling with his third victory. Congratulations!

I've been living last half of the year in Ljubljana and even though I've been here like a 100 times before, now that I moved I am even more fascinated with it.
-
Watching this video made me realise and appreciate that I chose Ljubljana when I did my Erasmus for one from last September till February.
-
Love what you're doing and Lublijana is one of my favorites cities in the world. I was married to a half slovanian and you always remind me of her.
-
Also here in Switzerland, we have the same collecting places, even separating glas according to the color. I love cleanliess in Slovenia ss here in CH. I know, originaly comming from Maribor Slovenia. This 2 countries are really super clean , live it ❤

Moving to ljubljana soon! Can't wait!

It's been over a decade but I have holidayed in Austria twice. Absolutely meticulous streets and no criminality. It made my UK head confused like I was experiencing Barbie World. When I took the train over the border into Italy everything changed. Graffiti, illegal criminals and garbage everywhere. I loved Napoli though, despite a terrorist attack by the Camorra I was 1 hour not involved lucky. I got to see Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Pozdrav puca! Bio sam u Londonu mnogo puta i nisam opazio da ima smeća na ulicama,za tako veliko mjesto to je super!

IT LOOKS MAGICAL 😮👍 meanwhile many big capitals in Europe are turning horrible.
-
This is an aspirational city to emulate in this department, but to get enough people behind the effort is no small feat. Glad to see it works on some level.

Always amazed when in Slovenia .. drive down the major roads ( a-2 or a-3) not a single can .. paper nothing along the side of the road .. even when doing “ open kitchen “ they have had someone at the trash bins there to help you separate everything .. made me much more conscious when I came home !!!

Good Video Barbara. It's good to see that your home country is almost number one in the world in eco friendliness. Welcome to America.
-
Greetings from Trieste! My town should learn a lot from Ljubljana!
-
also to mention that Slovenia is one of the European countries most covered in forest (after Finland and Sweden, all things considered) - I say this thinking of what you say in the video in relation to the fact that approximately a third of the wood is used to make paper. it helps to put it in perspective ;) - maybe the subject of a future video ;)?
-
You are so very, very delightful. We love your videos.
-
You are amazing. So smart, funny. You say all the things that I have thought myself and never been abl e to put into words...and then some. I live in Toronto. I was born in Ljubljana . It's my life, my love...sound stupid? I don't care. Anyway, just spent two months there which just served to reinforce my love for my hometown, my birthplace. Just keep doing what you do. You are brilliant.

Keep it up <3 drž' ga, prim' ga <3
-
I love your channell!

As one working at a recycling place it's crazy how much "trash" comes in per week even in a small city with 11k citizens in Sweden. Sadly lots of people are lazy and throws it wrong for different reasons 😆
-
I am a simple man but nothing less one of excelent taste, i see new video from babera, i click & i like, even if wont be able to see it in the next hours. But i am sure i already know that it's very well filmed, creativly a piece of art &/or like in this case well researched & opinioned :)
