Now we can safely add to this Snapp Guides, an application or interactive guide to destinations, which is the fruit of the Slovenian-British connection and collects funds for further development on Kickstarter, and makes it easier for the user to find the best locations for landscape photography.

Slovenia is a paradise for hikers and cyclists. Its picturesqueness offers something for everyone and, despite its small size, it is criss-crossed with thousands of trails that highlight its beauty. You know many of them, but despite your belief to the contrary, many of them you don't.

In 2010, as part of the Clean Slovenia event, Urška Pirc was invited to participate in a fashion show, for which she had to make clothes from already used material. She did not choose textiles, but something completely different. She opted for inner tubes. Today, five years later, with its trademark Black Z-duck, it delights fashion enthusiasts with handbags, belts, wallets and other small products made of recycled rubber. This year she presented her new Road collection.
Kickstarter is an online platform where various products and projects of budding creators collect public funds by convincing investors to provide them with funds to start a business. And since there is no recession for ideas even in Slovenia, quite a few brave and optimistic Slovenian individuals or teams went to Kickstarter with their projects. Some were more, others less successful, but this did not stop their business journey. This time, we present the most popular Slovenian projects on Kickstarter, which gained enough supporters and funds to start successful production.
Ecological awareness can be expressed in different ways. We can separate, use alternative means of transport, save water, or otherwise leave as little carbon footprint as possible.

It's like the Harry Potter books of board strategy games, something that will draw you in with its simple brilliance.
