TWO MONTHS IN SLOVENIA - WRITING THE BOOK
SLOVENIA A LA CARTE - All You Ever Wanted to Know About Slovenia
AND DISCOVERING THE COUNTRY!
TESSA
I
am British/Canadian and am an author, journalist and teacher. I have a Canadian
university degree in journalism and European history, a Bachelor of Education
teaching English as a Second Language and a Cambridge University certificate
teaching English as a Foreign Language. I taught English in Prague, Czech
Republic in 1990 after that country’s Velvet Revolution. I started 50 Plus Travel
Club for seniors and organized group tours to unusual destinations.
In
“Slovenia a la Carte – All You Ever Wanted to Know About Slovenia” which I
co-authored with Joze Borstnar, I wrote a chapter on several communist
countries I have visited comparing the different brands of communism-socialism
in those countries to the former Yugoslavia.
JOZE
I am Slovene and live in Ljubljana, the capital
of Slovenia. I lived through Slovenia’s turbulent post World War 2 history. I
studied economics at the University of Ljubljana and was a tour manager on
coach tours for American tourists visiting Balkan countries: Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and
Greece. After 27 years of professional experience in the tourist industry, I
created "Visit Slovenia à la carte" which offers interesting half-day
and full-day trips from Ljubljana as well as other tourist services. My many clients urged me to write a book
about the interesting stories I told them so our book “Slovenia a la Carte –
All You Ever Wanted to Know about Slovenia” was born!

HOW WE MET!
In 1977, I first visited Slovenia when it was
part of the former Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia ruled by Marshal Josip Broz
Tito’s communist regime. Joze Borstnar was my tour guide.
Joze and I reconnected in 2015 when he needed
help writing a memoir in English of his famous father. “Slovenia a la Carte –
All You Ever Wanted to Know About Slovenia” was published in 2016 in
Ljubljana, and besides the story of his National Hero father and family, it
also includes Slovenia’s political and social history, tourist destinations,
hotels, everyday life and much more.
