Hi. My name is Barbara, born and raised in Slovenia and I have been living on and off the US for the past 8 years. I came here as a student and have been based in Los Angeles, CA ever since. I have lived in South Carolina and Santa Cruz as well, I was on a working/travel visa in 2012 and 2013. I have visited over 15 states so far and got to see the difference in cultures in Europe and the US. Now I make videos talking about cultural shocks, what Europeans find weird about Americans and vise versa, discussing stereotypes, Slovenian culture and language and documenting my life abroad. :)

I think the ticking clock transcends borders, lol.
the clock and fridge sounds for some reason gives me so much peace. Reminds me of my childhood back in Bulgaria visiting grandma
I went to Slovenia in 2017 for the Metaldays festival in Tolmin, and wow! what a lovely place, on the confluence of 2 rivers, and I was definitely fitter when I came back than when I went because of all the hills! We went to the Tolmin gorges too which was absolutely enchanting, and spent a day in Ljubljana, which was really pretty and full of character!
The people were lovely as well, really friendly and welcoming.
Highly recommend!
And the coffee - I had one little coffee in Ljubljana, I swear I was unable to blink for 2 hours, I was so awake!
Also can confirm the limitation on dance moves is not confined to Balkan men - We Scots are about the same with the dancing 😃
Meanwhile, Balkan starts culturally 2 km south of Hamburg. Believe me... ;)
So wahr.
Hahaha
Aaaaahahahaha "papuče"!!! In Poland it's "papucie", it's just a different spelling, the same thing. Slavic brotherhood!
In Romanian it’s “papuci” and we’re not even Slavs😂I thought the word is of Turkish origin but I’m not sure.
Waaaait! In German we use "Puschen" (pronounced like puče) as a nickname for house slipper. I now wonder if that word is based on papuče.
@@phantagirlable papuci means house slippers and/or flipflops types.
It's not in Slovenian however.
@@minime7375if you are not Slavic we are not either.
😂
Short search say you mostly are...if DNA counts
But, what you want is important also
Najjača balkanska fora je tole: "zašto Dino Rađa, ako je Goran Karan, a Edo Majka?"
I had always heard breaking a mirror was seven years bad luck. Considering my coffee intake, I may have Balkan heritage.
I too am an LA Blkaner in recovery. Lol This cracked me up! “Alo” and “opa” followed by a string of cuss words is spot on!
Seagull was a nice touch.
Well yeah, drinking does start at 10 or even earlier, but as an 8-year-old you just thought you are eating "borovnice" … but those came out of a "borovnicke bottle " :D
6:16 when I was four I drunk a glass of wine mistaking it with Coca-Coli 😂
The song from the last meme is "Made in Romania" 😁
Izvanredno,volim tvoje videose! Puno pozdrava iz HR! 😍
MY FAVORITE it's the lady buying booze 😂😂😂
Hello from Bulgaria. I definitely don't relate to many of those but I know that for the average person, it's true. My bf is Slovenian so I have both perspectives.
Oh man. The quick shot of Marcel Proust and the Madelaine cakes from "A Remembrance of things past." Just like the scent of the Madelaine unlocked all of Proust's memories of childhood, your memory was unlocked by that horrible super loud ticking clock. I get it. Barbara pulling out the classic French literature references, I love it.
Some of this stuff reminds me Poland lol I miss 90s!! Fun fact I was 17 and my parents send me before midnight to buy 95 bottles of vodka for my sister weeding.Nobody asked me for ID. :))
Imagine when Barbara at home on a rainy day. Her boyfriend would laugh to death. She should be standup comedian.
USA 21 years old - Yeah I can drink. CZE 16 years old - I have got serious problem with alcoholism :D
The freaking clock still gives me nightmares 😂😂😂
When I go to visit to my grandma I always pull out the battery in my room so tik tok goes away... blažena tišina 😎
you look amazing barbara, just back from the balkans - such nice people, and the food...: )
The ticking clock also gave me flashbacks from my Omas apartment in central europe.
Can identify many of these habits in Romania, but probably our regional societies also changed in recent years. Still more freedom than anywhere.
That clock 😄that's it hehehe mrak
The geographical border of Balkan are Soča, Sava and Danube. Therefore, Slovenia is both, Central European and Balkan country, a bit of both and I'm proud of both. Some Slovenes want to distance themselves from Balkan but that's what we are.
I was born 3 km from where I live now, from Central Europe to Balkan.
hahah with love,from Bulgaria,rakia cure everything.This is the truth hahaha.90 s in Plovdiv,Bulgaria,pfu half of kids,with who i am grow,are RIP in those times,hope never come back,so many parents cry.That's why Balkan peoples,are straight and brutal,when speack haha,and i thought is 8 years,no Love,Bad luck indeed,for broken mirror hihi.Bloody hell,we are all the same hahaha is exacly like this in Bulgaria too,for sure.Gola,vkara dva gola hihih.Healt and happynes
true american story regarding school hierarchy. 3 teens boys went out drinking and ended up running a stop sign "ending" a pregnant mother and her baby. all 3 were convicted of vehicular homicide. when it came time for sentencing the judge postponed the sentence of 2 of the boys because they were football stars and the judge said; "it would be unfair to punish the entire community for these 2 boys mistakes." presumably the 3rd boy was on the band and recieved a harsher sentence, not deferred.
legenda... keep it up
OMG Barb yr gorg! Slovenian Queen, now we're sharing the same dream and two tiktoks beat as one. Horvat coffee has come!
Thanks for that, those were fun.
LOL, the slovenian turkish coffee got me! i am from Greece and we have the Greek coffee version of the turkish coffee but its not that strong! but we have also the cold Frape Coffe that its strong!
"You miss alot of dumb shit when you out off your country"
Ne govor, tolk pogrešam kvalitetno hrano ki jo imamo v Sloveniji. In ja pogrešam našo kavo, kava ki jo pijejo tu v Nemčiji je odvratna.
About the last one what Balkans say, we Bulgarians have an unique one - takova!
As Pole I can relate to so many of those things like almost all of them :D You're like my dream wife btw :)
Sunflower seeds are addictive.
12:44 - isn't that what makes you cool in USA too? 😂
Did you have also the thing with not looking into the mirror after midnight? (Romanian here😀).
when you said your mom was hiding in the bunker near airport - did you mean Brnik airport?
Asking out of curiosity cause I live in Brnik right now.. and heard I think something similar from locals...about Slovenia 10 day war
9 out of 10 we do it in greece XD the video is 10/10. I think i cried from laughing from the reactions somewhere in the middle of the video
Great vid thanks.
Ah.....I remember graduating from wine to whisky as a worldly 13 year old
I started smoking when I was 6 years old. I quit when I was 9. Lepi časi...
I'm second generation Australian, but my Grandparents were Polish... That POV sleeping at Grandparents house ticking clock gave me PTSD flashbacks. LOL. And the sunflower seeds... My grandfather was always chewing on those.
I think a lot of these are generally European, as I could relate to a lot of these growing up in my Polish Grandparents house.
Can you please make a video about the similarities between Slovenia and Austria especially with Carinthia and Styria? We have a lot in common.
7 years bad luck was in USA 50 years or more ago. Gen X are the last to hear it in Popeye cartoons.
Hm in my class coolest kid were čefurji, you need to wear lacost or addidas bag cross body or fanny pack and rings and silver chain, golden were having gpsys. Lanac k bosanac! and foot wear sleepers(papuče) in summer, winter addidas or nike!
Your best vid!! Hajde baj
Ajde, razguli.
Lijep pozdrav iz D
Look for Karma Probiotic Water. It’s bottled water, that you push the top down to release vitamins and flavor
also Mio Hydrate, and of course... Gatorade.
SNL (Saturday Night LIve) will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year -- you need to join the SNL cast to save SNL :)
only thing in the US, is the Japanese one's you pop the marble down.
Is Slovenian different from Turkish coffee?
Whatsup Little Squirrelie.
Eating sunflower seeds was normal when i was young, but rarely see anyone doing it here anymore.
What in Carmen Sandiego's name is cay?
Being loud is what some other European countries can be as well liek Germany or Netherlands.
Old clocks in a lot of old ppl's houses, the grandparents on my father's side did have 1 as well. But was in living room and not bed rooms. They did have big outside cage thing in backyard. The bedrooms were guest slept were on that side.
Still Batman and Robin isn't the worst superhero movie in years. But i do want early 90's back, as younger brother was still alive than.
I have never seen a bottle like that. I have seen glass ones with a ball that is used 2 mix it with the water, i found 2 flavours of it, i still own the 2 bottles.
The you know is she is Balkan girl thing looks 2 normal 2 me, i am clearly missing something.
The angles she uses with the this song 1 is interesting choices.
I could buy alcohol since i was 12, but i looked like i was in mine early 20's already. I already had a mustache grown at that age.
What is a jsvan (however you spell it)?
The tsk tsk sound is pretty common in other parts of world. The EEEEEE sound sounds a lot like Italian.
I wear slippers normally a lot, unles at home were i am barefoot most time. Even last couple winters.
Mine father eat his fries with a fork and cut his burger. It always has been a weird thing 2 see. As neither common here. Some food if eaten alone it is eaten by hand, but in combo with like potatoes it is eaten with a fork, that happens with things like fishsticks.
I thought the 7 years of bad luck is universal. Well discounting the neglect parents or the spoiling type parents. I have heard that leaving up once or twice as well, but i think from movies/tv shows, so idk how accurate it is for mine country.
Some part of the popular thing is same here, funny enough. But banging a hot MILF makes you insta popular is basically everywhere, there r very few expentions were that won't happen. Although as mine middle school it was a smoll school, the cool kids did hang out with the gamers a decent time.
With OPAA i always think of Gangnam style.
Stay awesome and postive, Little Squirrelie🐿🍻.
That bit with someone eating burek with a knife and fork has me more puzzled then anything. I mean why? Just why???
Never in my whole life (38) have I ever seen that or even contemplated it.
I had Greek Turkish coffee today :)
Coffee amateurs... Hello from Finland.
Well you need it. Because there is -c 10months 😛
Sreća, ne živim u Americi niti me ista interesuje. I Cedevitu mogu da kupim.
ti sam reč pa to pošlmo en karton Cedevite pa Barkafeja, rabš vsaj ene tolk za pol leta zaloge ;)
I recognise a lot of it for 90s Russia too :-) Not coffee though, definitely not coffee
I remember the clock.
"Opa", without "opa re malaka" is half the meaning...
The sports and beauty based hierarchy in movies about American high schools-no that’s real, sadly 😂
I would have been the cool kid in the balkans.......
fuck.
Mater ti e...
raki, age 7... big gulp...
djezve at the goodwill baby. Or an Asian/Arab market.
---The 90s were bad. Let me think, we did not have war, but we had two hyperinflations, I was a millionaire in Bulgarian money, we had the "Mutra" gangsters in black Mercedes and SUVs... and Pop-Folk...
Greetings to Komsija from another ex yu person living in Austria!

07:56 Brate, sa rukama jedi. Da slučajno ne podigneš nož i viljušku za burek, picu, ... okej za picu samo da secneš na osam parčiča ❗ Bro eat with your hands. Do not dare to pick up knife and fork for burek, pizza, ... ok on pizza only to cut to 8 slices!

Lemme teach you how to be the most popular kid in Slovenian schools in 2024 (POV from a Slovenian 9th grader)
1) it’s recommended to be from other Balkan countries (such as Bosnia, Serbia or Macedonia)
2)You need a v@pe
3)You need a motorcycle
4)You gotta be tall and fat
5)You gotta have a buzz cut
6)You gotta bully your teachers
7)You’ll be more popular if you skip and fail all of your classes
8) if possible, repeat the class at least once
9) Have at least one original and one fake tech fleece
OKAY I HOPE I HELPED, GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY TO BE THE MOST POPULAR KID IN SCHOOL💪
8:43 THAT.... is a crime!
My American bf knows about the 7 years of bad luck because of breaking a mirror thing, so no, it’s definitely not a Balkan/Slavic thing at all.
Словенія це не Балкани? Я думаю wi-Fi на Балканах зайве - ти завжди можеш їхати вздовж узбережжя 😂
haha ja proklete ure. I got beat a lot for taking out the batteries from alarm clocks. but then got a digital one thank god for that one
tell them what gazela is .. and pls dont buy their to go 5 liter cofy cup made out of LEAD
Hello Balkan girl!
Barbara, I would like to meet a Slovenian lady between 50 & 65, I am 55 years old.
I am excited to know what do Slovenians think of Indians.. just curious and I hope you can make a video related to india please? Idk i would love to see it
So, Hungary is not considered Balkans? Okay, only 3/4 of the stereotypes fits us, but still...
Not, they're not Slavs or Balkan Slavs or just Balkans, honestly nobody knows who they are. They derived from Turkish and Italian (Rome Empire) but they nothing like all listed above
i have ptsd right now
Yo! Do you give slovene lessons? I am moving to Žiri and need help! Cheers, Dave
The literary slovene is not going to help you in žiri I'm afraid🙃
Wow! Barbara looking so fine today.
Cute.
I knew a half Austrian half Slovenian girl a number of years ago and she said Slovenia was definitely not Balkan, But Central European.
Slovenia is actually central European but also Balkan 😁
@@ACOnetwork She would disagree.
Where's the salute?
where can i find that song?
upload more video girl
Too bad you can't show the slangs and the fun words we use in Balkans lol, that's the real vocabulary of our region.
I know a broken mirror is supposed to be 7 years bad luck. I just don’t believe it.
What music is this?
Synthwave
youre funny
According to geography there is no such thing as a "Balkan Penninsula".
Yes there is.
@@ms-jl6dl Physical geography reject it because it doesn't fit the defenition of a penninsula (wrong land / water border ratio) Geopolitically it is an outdated view because Yugoslavia is gone and Ottoman empire is long gone as well. Sorry, Balkan is just a mountain range in Bulgaria and Serbia (Stara Planina). It could be also non clearly defined cultural area, mostly where Ottoman European holdings were.
My country (Romania) is not technically in the Balkans but we definitely act like it, we’re like champion sunflower seeds spitters😂 I love that guy with the “American in the Balkans” tiktoks, Adrian something, he’s hilarious.😂
by some definitions Romania is even part of balkans, at least like 2/3 of it^^ Like one definition of balkan is to draw the line from Trieste to Odessa
@@dantealighieri1265 only like the bottom SE slice, not quite there (like Slovenia, only partially in the peninsula), I wouldn’t say 2/3. Culturally we’re fully Balkan for sure☺️ We have literally all those customs and expressions…and then some.
@@minime7375 nice to hear balkan bro!
@@dantealighieri1265 I’m a she but thanks bro😁
@@minime7375 oh sorry balkan sis :D
Slovenia is not in Balkan. Balkan is south of rivers Sava and Donau from Belgrade on down to the Dardanels.
Sava goes through the middle of Slovenia.
But i generally put Slovenia outside Balkan because they have more connection with Austria than rest of Yugoslavia.
Aide bye!
The 90's were a pretty crappy decade and the start of the downward slide to where we are now.
Not for Americans
@@heatherturner2366 I was speaking of America. The only people that think the 90's were good are people who didn't experience the 70's and 80's. The 90's were meh at best.
В России разбить зеркало тоже плохая примета.
Kaj je piđi tertin?
Just one man's opinion, Barb... I think you look MUCH better with minimal makeup. And that's not meant to be taken in a negative way: it's a compliment.
Lol I'm sure she'll get right on that for you. Wouldn't want a stranger in the comments to not approve of someone's looks in a video. 🙄
@@untiltomorrow809 do you have some sort of social disorder?
I'm not sure this "Slovenia" is a real place. It sounds made up.
😂
Its not
