OUR STORY
On the west coast of the African continent, an unlikely friendship blossomed between two kindred spirits from opposite sides of the globe. This is the tale of Alex, an adventurous American teacher, and Tjasa, a spirited Slovenian artist. Their encounter in the beautiful land of Ghana set the stage for a journey that would unfold over time, and eventually lead them to the Goričko hills.
Alex had ventured far from home, sharing knowledge and shaping young minds as a teacher in an international school. Meanwhile, Tjasa poured her heart into creating a haven of warmth and hospitality amidst the tranquil beauty of rural Ghana. It was during Alex's visit to Tjasa's guesthouse that their paths intertwined, and an immediate connection sparked between them. Little did they know, this bond would only grow stronger with time.
United by their insatiable curiosity about the world, Alex and Tjasa soon discovered that their artistic visions harmonized beautifully. Collaborating on workshops and art exhibitions, their talents intertwined seamlessly, deepening their friendship and mutual admiration. Conversations filled with laughter and dreams of embarking on a grand endeavor together became a familiar soundtrack to their days, even if only whispered in half-seriousness.
And then, an extraordinary opportunity presented itself—the property known today as Panovci 9. Recognizing the immense potential and endless possibilities that lay within those walls, Alex and Tjasa decided to take a leap of faith. With their combined talents and experiences, they were determined to transform this space into a place that celebrated the tapestry of human connection—a haven where cultures converge and creativity could flourish.
Panovci 9 became the culmination of a friendship that defied borders and embraced the unconventional.
