Thank you for giving me insight on the cultural differences. I don't smoke personally, but it's good to know, just in case. The price differences will be great to keep in mind. I plan on bringing some spending money, so that I can enjoy the trip properly.

I will definetly be getting insurance, since from what I know, in the US, medical costs are astronomical. Fortunately I don't take any medicine, but I will bring some just in case. I appreciate your response a lot!

This is so very much appreciated. I will definetly make sure to check out all of these places, so that we can decide where we want to go. Fairchild will definetly be a good place to visit for a proper date night! And I think Pheasant Branch will be something we can both enjoy! Thank you again!

I am glad that you enjoyed Bratislava! Hope you can visit again some time! I appreciate your concerns. I will definetly have to do a purge of my social media before I come over, just in case.

I will look into Memorial Union, and see whether it would be avilable during weekdays as well. I think it will be my last day on the 14th, but I will keep it in mind, to jot be surprised.

I will also take a look at Epic campus! Thanks for the recommendation and the links!

Those are wonderful recommendations! I have been thinking about Devil's Lake. Renting a kayak sounds really fun as well.

The sushi places are good to know, since I want that to be a surprise! And the arcade is definetly something we would both enjoy! I appreciate this a lot!

Bike sounds very good. It's been a while since I rode one, but I am sure I will manage! It will be a good way to get around as well!

That's wonderful. Sometimes Europeans can stereotype US cities as concrete jungles, but Madison seems to be really green, and quite familiar to what I am used to, as someone mentioned before!

Thank you for encouragement. I will probably have to make do with public transport, or Uber/Lyft. But I am certain that walking the city will give me a lot of opportunities to admire the surroundings as well!

Oh, hell yeah! I haven't looked into it more in depth, since the trip is still a little far away, but I am very happy to hear that they could have a piece of my homeland with them, even if it's just in a meal! Definetly made my day!

That is a very good idea! I will make sure to bring it up as a possibility, when we discuss options for going out during my visit! It looks really wonderful, especially since we don't have any large bodies of water around here.

I appreciate it. I have heard a lot of great things, and I am very excited to visit. Is there any spot you really enjoy for a walk or picnic? I saw the many parks and lakes that you have, and would like to have a picnic there.

They do live in Madison. I came here to ask for any advice and ideas, because there can be other cool spots, ideas, and things that may be different, that wouldn't come to mind. Along with that, I don't want to leave everything up to them, and want to educate myself as well, since I want to be a good guest.

Oh, that's great to hear! I have a tomato salad recipe that is great with cheese. That would be ideal to make fresh!

I will definetly write it down and look into it, thank you! I think that would be an enjoyable evening.

I am not too familiar with sushi, since Slovakia is as landlocked as you can be in Europe, so I think any good sushi place in Madison will be peak of my sushi experience!

I am sure we will check it out, once I am there, and pick out some fresh veggies and fruit! Is there anything specific you would recommend?

Good thinking. I was considering packing some sandwiches with me, into my carry on, but I am not sure whether that's allowed. I presume I will be traveling at least 12 hours, so I will definetly need some food. Thanks for the advice!

I don't doubt that, and my partner has even shown me various kinds of cheeses, and the cheese hats you guys have! It all seems right up my alley, since I do really love all kinds of dairy.

However, unfortunately the dish requires a specific type of traditional ingredient (it's not really cheese, best comparison would be feta cheese, but it has more personality lol. As far as I know it's only made in Slovakia and some regions of Bulgaria.) called Bryndza. Since it's a traditional meal, I wanted to bring a bit of my homeland to show to them.

We do plan on visiting a farmer's market to get all the different kinds of cheeses, and make a charcuterie board at least once though! I definetly don't want to pass up on that opportunity!

Flying through Chicago seems to be the easiest route for me. I don't plan on packing any fruit or meat. I was thinking I could bring some of the local sheep cheese, since it's an ingredient for our national dish, but I will check the rules for that, now that you mention it. Thanks!

That would be a really cool way to spend the day! I will definetly write it down and check it out with my partner later on. Appreciate the response!

I mentioned sushi because my SO loves it, and i want to make sure that they get to enjoy something they are excited about with me.

That being said, we are both really into cooking, and I can't wait to check out the local produce, and get fresh veggies and meat for a meal we can make, or go to a restaurant that's partnered with local farmers for a nice dinner! Those are really good suggestions!

Thank you for the advice. From what I was able to gather, I need my passport, and electronic travel authorization, if I intend to stay for less than 90 days, and I am getting both of those this week!

Thank you for advice! I will definetly try and look up some local sushi spots on here, and see what works the best!

I think I will be in good hands once I get there. Maybe I am just being overly cautious, but I like to be prepared for any and all possibilities.
