What you need to know before your trail

Once upon a time an American girl moved to a little town in Slovakia. And she fell in love with the country, and with a boy. And then another boy. And then about a dozen boys fell in love with her. Many linguistic and romantic antics ensued, and a happy ending unlike any she could have foreseen. This is a story for everyone—the armchair traveler and the real one, the lover of love stories and the connoisseur of culture clash—but above all, it’s a story for anyone who is always homesick for somewhere else.

Travel Guide

Slovakia

The title of the book is a joke based on a phrase in Slovak which sounds amusing to English speakers.

There are plenty of snippets on Slovakian history, culture and traditions. Lots of quirky and unexpected cultural differences highlighted too such as the popular drink of  slivovica which can also be used as a substitute to antifreeze?

We travel around quite a lot in this book but it’s Bratislava that stands out.
