About the trip

The trip to Istria and Slovenia is organised by Resia in cooperation with FREEDOMtravel. The planning of the trip started with our readers getting vote for a destination out of five, which resulted in us starting to plan a group trip to Istria and Slovenia. Very, very fun!

Peter and Helena from FREEDOMtravel are travelling with us, as well as Margareta Hallin from Resia and Hallin's travel blog, which you may know. In addition to us three, there are another 20 places.
