About me

About me
My love affair with words and writing started back in the 80s. Each day I'm marking the anniversary, as I write. Journalist by vocation, working in public relations, I love bringing Belgrade and its stories closer to people, along with stories on inspiring spots elsewhere. I have another love affair with music, as well as many others.

Why Belgrade?
Because the most beautiful places here are the ones that are most unpretentious. Because of the people who won’t let it become dull and/or ugly. Because of its lively and lovely spirit, that survives/d.

Where else can you find me online?

Autopark (indie/dream pop band)

Crveni Rak

A cozy nook in Zemun

"Crveni Rak" in Belgrade has everything that pubs are known for - it's a small, cozy hideout with rock & blues music. The rakija is a class of its own.

Hanan Shawarma

The tastiest falafel in Belgrade

"Hanan Shawarma" is one of the hub restaurants for Arabian/Mid-Eastern food in Belgrade. I think their falafel might be the city's best at the moment.

Žabac Bowling

First thing: bowling

"Žabac Bowling" in Belgrade's Zemun is probably the best alley in the city for its price & value. I think it's a nice place to warm up before going out.
