It's nice to see you back in Slovenia again. I remember speaking on here with you briefly after you had visited the Bears, who are quite close to where I live with my Daughter. I know that feeling of falling in love with Slovenia. I remember sitting in a restaurant in the Soca Valley back in 2015 saying to my Daughter "I could live here". In 2018 we bought a house here and by 2021 were living here full time, having moved from England. Now we live on a mountain covered by forests. The name of which actually translates as Grass Mountain. Now I see you are a few hours from here, driving up the Vrsic Pass. That's 25 hairpins to get to the top and another 25 down the other side to Trenta. As I look out of our living room window right now we are utterly immersed in cloud, so you can't see much. This is the fourth day in a row like this. However the weather forecast says it will be clear skies tomorrow. I can see from your pictures that you have experienced some of the beautiful places here. I can also tell you that you have barely scratched the surface. I suspect Slovenia will be seeing you again. :)
Hello Victoria, a great video! I really like the short sequence with the little black bird. Beautiful photos, I especially like the black and white photos, both the landscape shots and the self-portraits (wonderful light). Best wishes from Hamburg (Germany)
Hello and thank you! Danke! I believe the black bird was an alpine chough but I could be wrong! And it was an real moment which I thought would be nice to share - it’s what I am like most of the time, talking to animas I bump into. Thank you for your lovely words on my photos as well, I appreciate it a lot. All the best and hello to Germany 🙂🙂
Hehe thank you for this! Well travelling on my own I have no one else to photograph so I have to make do 😅 thank you for enjoying the trip and for your kind words! 🙂
Stunning images. I'm impressed with Slovenia and the views. Loved the black and white images of you modeling. As always looked forward to your next video. You still need to come to the American west!
Thank you very much! Yes Slovenia is very beautiful and that is very kind, I thought I would try some self portraits as it was raining. I know I do need to make a trip out there, maybe next year i’ll plan something 🙂
Much appreciated showing us this wonderful SCENES! I loved the music as well - hiking in nature is way of life. Keep sharing wonderful moments Like & Subscribed 👍 💙💙💙
Awww this is so lovely! Thank you! I am honoured that you think is. And it is true, your homeland is absolutely beautiful. You live in a special part of the world ☺️🫶🏻⛰️🇸🇮
Welcome back lovely lady, missed you! Hope you achieved all you wanted too during your short break from TH-cam. Great video, amazing images, as always, thank you.😊
Thank you so much! I did thank you, just needed some time away from editing - it can be quite exhausting. And making plans for the future has kept me busy. Thank you for watching and for your kind words 🙂
Wonderful, your love for nature shines through in every bit you share. I'm realizing more and more that my own photography is a vehicle for enjoying and appreciating all the beautiful around us, and your channel really helped/helps with that. Thanks for taking us with you again, and take care!
This is really lovely and touching, thank you. Nature and travelling for me is something from the heart - also travelling is something I wanted to do for a long time so I just really want to appreciate it all now that I am finally doing it. That is so lovely this has helped you and definitely keep seeing the beauty around you, I find it makes life and very wonderful place. Thank you again and onto the next adventure 🙂⭐️

Thank you for the beautiful images and your impressions of Slovenia. It looks like you were not blessed with good weather, good to see you were still out there enjoying yourself. And those self portraits of you in black and white are stunning. I really enjoy your videos, love the sensual calm, your composition and pace. Thank you.
You have the most marvellous adventures and share some absolutely stunning shots. I’m totally envious but it’s always good to see such amazing places even if it’s through someone else’s eyes so thank you for sharing.
Glad you like them and thank you so much! I think that has always been my aim, just to show folk the world but do it in a real and heartfelt way. So I am glad you enjoyed it 🙂
You nailed it again Victoria. What a beautiful country. It should be called Wild land as it represents everything you are and want in life. Loved the scenery and your pictures and the flock of fans running to meet you 😂. Well done. Until next time. 👍
Hehehe your comment made me smile so much - especially when you said about the flock of fans running to meet me 😆 they are the best kind of fans! hehe thank you for this and I am glad you enjoyed it ☺️✌🏻
This means a lot, thank you! I take a lot of time putting my videos together, it is kind of like a big jigsaw puzzle at the start but lovely when it can all flow and come together. Thank you and stay safe too 🙂
Thank you. yes, nature is so big and beautiful. It also makes you feel small, in all those mountains. I could live up there but unfortunately, we have jobs as well and families so I can't stay up there forever but I would if I could. 🤣🙃
Victoria this was a wonderful upload! A perfect watch with my morning coffee. All of the photos/footage you captured,made me put Slovenia on my “places to travel before I die” list 😂… also really tempting me to sell my XT4/lenses and upgrade to that gfx+55 combo. What a killer setup!
You should come and try the Southern Alps here in New Zealand some time Victoria. Would probably want to come and live here too! Thanks for the videos.
@@wildandfreevictoria Hope you do get here... and If and when you make it here then, you will have plenty on this channel who would give you the best hidden places to see :)
Hi pretty Victoria 😍 Once again a very nice video with breathtaking images of this landscape... You're also good at modeling... The GFX is fascinating in experienced hands, the look and quality is simply even better than the 35mm film. Your posts are always relaxing and very interesting. Keep it up. What I like about you is that you don't include any camera noise in your slide show, I find that absolutely annoying. It's nice to just let music play, so you can immerse yourself much deeper in the images. Kind regards from Switzerland.
Hello and thank you! You are very kind and I appreciate your words of support. The GFX system handled amazingly and was such a joy to use, I am very pleased I had it for that trip! I do my best to make it relaxing as possible - as that is the vibe I get when I am out with nature. Hehe this did make me chuckle as I find that noise super annoying as well and it distracts the audience from being immersed (like you said). So thank you for this. And always a warm hello to Switzerland, I should be visiting there in the next month or so 🙂
Really heavy! But it was worth it 😅😅 - i am only a small human so I am sure for many it wouldn’t feel as heavy and I still managed to take it up mountains 🙂

Just come back from a 10 day package tour of Slovenia, it is a stunning country, people are friendly and prices generally cheap. Highly recommended.
That sounded fantastic! And you are totally right, it is amazing, affordable, natural, so many trees and easy to access everything, it’s beautiful! 🙂
Thankyou for taking us on your journey, beautiful, stunning photography. 👍👍
Thank you so much for watching and your lovely words ☺️

Greetings from Slovenia. I'm glad you had a good time.
Hello and thank you ☺️ you live in the most beautiful place ever 🏔️🌳
Thank you. yes, nature is so big and beautiful. It also makes you feel small, in all those mountains. I could live up there but unfortunately, we have jobs as well and families so I can't stay up there forever but I would if I could. 🤣🙃
Its a wonderful region. Went there in summer. The mountain Mangart is also very nice.
It really is! so glad you got to experience it as well, it's incredible! I will have to go back and visit Mangart 🙂
As always, Nice pictures.
Thank you very much 🙂

The best thing is to move to Slovenia.😉
Hehe I agree! If you know of a nice young man who will give me a home and anywhere I can get a job then let me know 😅😅🫶🏻

🙂✌🏻
Have you been to the place where the Soca springs from the mountain
I don’t think I have but i’ll have to go back and find it 😅

How heavy is that Fuji GFX camera to carry around? I usually take my smaller m43 gear to mountain hikes ...
Really heavy! But it was worth it 😅😅 - i am only a small human so I am sure for many it wouldn’t feel as heavy and I still managed to take it up mountains 🙂
Greetings from Arizona, Did you get an XF-500 f/5.6 from FujiFilm to try out? Don
👏👏👏
Thank you ☺️
