36-year-old model, TV presenter and a philanthropist at the occasion of her visit to the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week said she was thrilled to have received the invitation to visit Ljubljana.

Several friends have already told her about the beautiful city of Ljubljana. "My expectations came true. Ljubljana is really a very beautiful and green city. The architecture reminds me of Prague. But not only the architectural details, the feel of the city is similar. In the morning the church bells evoked in me tranquillity, as at home."

She survived tsunami
After the ordeal at the Thai island Khao Lak in 2004, where she survived tsunami – her fiancé Simon Atlee, photographer, lost his life, and they barely managed to save Petra - ten years ago she launched the Happy Heart Fund charity organisation. In the past decade it made possible building of more than 100 safe houses and schools, helped children who had lost their parents to integrate into society, and helped build new local communities.
