Goodbye Slovenia

David Lednik (red_mamba) migrating to New Zealand

About me

Author: admin
29. May 2008

I live in Mozirje, Slovenia. I study chemistry on Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology in Ljubljana. Since 1. January 2007 I have a permanent job in Ljubljana as a computer programmer.

I drive to work every morning at 6.00 for 80km. At the end of the working day I drive same 80km back home. Now if I would live in Germany people would say only 80km :D But for Slovenia thats a lot!

It’s cheaper to drive to work and lose 2 hours on the road every day then to live in Ljubljana or somewhere close to Ljubljana and pay expensive rent for a few m2 of living space.

So I hope I can move to New Zealand soon.
