[quote=Anonymous]How long will you be gone?  How much time on your own will you have?  Have you traveled in the US before?

I would suggest getting a guidebook for Slovenia, so you can learn a little about the country, customs, language, and maybe some things you want to do on your off time or before/after.  DK Eyewitness are very good  guides (for reading ahead esp. as they have a lot of cultural/historical info, although they can be heavy and less useful for "what should I do today") or you could look at the Rough Guides or Fodors.

You can check with your bank and credit card companies about fees for overseas use-- these can vary a lot by company/card (and +1 to letting them know you'll be gone).

I find it's helpful/nice to learn a bit of the language/a few phrases.  Even if most people speak english they usually appreciate the gesture and it can make things easier. It's very easy these days with all the apps and online resources to study a bit, even of an uncommon language.

Get some app-based text messaging for your phone, like whats app, viber or imessage, because Europe is generally a lot better about having free wifi, so if you can message over wifi for free you won't need to use data from your phone plan.[/quote]
