Valentine in Slovenia – run to the horizon together

When in love is to walk hand in hand across the horizon, that may be the philosophy of lovers in Slovenia. For couples in other countries who can give gifts, date at a romantic restaurant with candlelight, on the contrary, it is the day when feet, eyes, and smiles are in harmony with the beat of the heart. Couples in love in Slovenia will cross the frozen fields with their bare feet together. I think, the feeling right now is “No matter where we go, as long as we go together”.
