Village life in Slovakia a joy (video included)

“There are just so many people with real friendships, who care about real things,” said marketing and media advisor Alan Craig, an American living in village Sekule, in the Záhorie Region. He adds with smile that village life in Slovakia is pure joy and with a slight nostalgia recalls traditions from Pennsylvania in comparison to Slovakia.

Video made by journalism students who discovered Slovakia for the 19th edition of Spectacular Slovakia , the annual travel guide published by the English-language weekly The Slovak Spectator.

This project was also made possible thanks to the cooperation of the Journalism Department of Comenius University, tv.sme and support of the Slovak Tourist Board (SACR) and Orange Slovensko.

The 18th edition of Spectacular Slovakia with focus on Bratislava is on sale via the spectator.sk online shop or amazon.com.
