    What a lovely city and brilliant guide. The itinerary was carefully planned and included incredible activities. Forests and fields of fungi! Thankyou to the Goddess of Mars for delicious mushroom soup with bread, amazing butter cookies and Cockta, of course. Thankyou to the woman climbing the spiral staircase to find the perfect map that was lost and then found again. Thankyou to the wee tortoise who helped me embrace the beauty of Slovenia and thankyou to the black cat that didn’t cross our path. Mostly, eternal gratitude to Lado for acting as conduit. Hvala

    This tour allowed me to experience the tradition of foraging in Slovenia. We got an early start to meditate in the ancient trunk of a linden tree before watching the sunrise from a hilltop overlooking cloud-covered Ljubljana. Be prepared with hiking shoes for your trek through the forest. This was the season for mushroom hunting. Our guide, Lado, identified each mushroom we discovered, explaining which ones were harmful and which were healthy. He led the tour with just the right blend of information and humor. When our baskets were full, we all pitched in to slice the mushrooms and cook up a feast. Highly recommend this mindful excursion to a secret spot in a beautiful Slovenian forest. Unforgettable!

    The short of it- BEFORE I met Lado: That plate is mine- no mushrooms! YOU eat the mushrooms yourself! AFTER I met Lado: Oh… can I try that one too?! (Picture a look of curiosity, surprise and bliss) The slightly longer of it- Rather than talking you through the experience step by step (especially since these adventures are uniquely planned depending on the season, weather, group members’ needs etc.) I’ll hash out some thoughts pertaining to the entire day: 1. Lado is incredibly warm and inviting. He is creative and organized- and he loves playful surprises (there was a local secret he shared with us just before sunrise on this particular trip. I shan't disclose it here, but you’ll be able to see it in the mini documentary once it comes out). 2. Lado is amazingly in tune with nature and with people. He has a joy and a sense of humor that are contagious. Throughout the day I felt so taken care of- and I know my fellow mushroom hunters felt the same. 3. One of the best parts- mushroom hunting is only ONE of the things you can do with Lado through Lifetime Experience! 4. Mushroom foraging (on one’s own) isn’t something one picks up in a day. Having Lado’s expertise and hands-on instruction was invaluable. Lado provided a lot of helpful guidance, but I would not dream of going without an expert like him! I felt safe and empowered at the same time. 5. I loved the stories and explanations Lado shared, bringing history and science alive. This was a holistic and invigorating experience that touched all senses and spoke to mind, body, and soul. Thank you, Lado!

    My friend and I had a wonderful visit with Sarah and her dog Liza. She was a charismatic guide with a great sense of humor. The meal was delicious and the demonstration was authentic and educational. We loved supporting these local epicureans.
