My awesome sister in law is a native of Slovenia, and when she invited me to head back there with her and her two daughters I didn’t hesitate for a single second. Yes! The small-world part of this story is that my very own family comes from Slovenia, which is part of former Yugoslavia. My great grandmother’s family was from a small town very close to where my sister-in-law is from. Because of that, it’s always been a part of the world that I longed to see, so imagine my surprise when I married my husband and found out that one of my new family members was from there.
