About the trip

The trip to Istria and Slovenia is organised by Resia in collaboration with FREEDOMtravel. The planning of the trip started with our readers receiving 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 joining the trip, as well as Margareta Hallin from Resia and Hallins travel blog, as you may know. In addition to the three of us, there are another 20 places.
