This year, I wanted a different summer. I always chose a beach destination, but I felt that I was missing something. This time, I did not care about the place. The important thing for me was to go to a Summer University (SU) where organisers mixed with the participants and of course, full of teambuilding activities.
Why Maribor? I had heard many good things about the organizers, the activities really interested me, and Slovenia was an unknown country to me.
Slovenia is an amazing country. I was really surprised with the amount of green in its landscapes and cities. Ljublijana is bigger and has many tourist attractions, Maribor is smaller and homely, but Lent Festival was taking place while we stayed there so the city was full of activities and really active.
The organizers were awesome, close and friendly. They took great care of us through small details and always had big smiles on their faces. They mixed with the group and organized a lot of great and funny activities and thematic parties for us. From basic teambuilding games to elaborate activities such as MP3 experience, Funny Faces, Talent Show… As well as this lipdub. We also took a lot of dancing lessons – salsa, bachata, tango, rock & roll, swing. From my experiences as organizer in my local, I can tell they did a great job.
