Who we are

Choose Slovenia is the brainchild of Jason Hartley, a Brit with over 25 years of living on the European continent. He has been visiting Slovenia on an almost annual basis since 2003 and has lived in Slovenia for 7 of the last 10 years.
In that time, he has set up multiple businesses to support Slovenian farmers and wine makers, including the UK’s only specialist Slovenian wine importer.
He has a deep insight into life in Slovenia, its culture, and the pros and cons of life in this hidden corner of Europe and has been covered in multiple Slovenian media. He also has a career in business and brand consulting behind him, so he knows how to give the very best advice to his clients.
“Slovenia has changed immeasurably in the twenty-plus years since I first visited. It remains a beautiful, varied, complex, fascinating place. That said, living and working here isn’t always easy, and with so much to explore and see, I want to inspire people to do more than just come to Ljubljana and Lake Bled.”
You can book a complementary 15-minute intro call to get to know Jason a little before you commit.
Jason has been featured in numerous national media in Slovenia
