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?

Kutijica
Creative food, out of the box!
The daily menu can, for example, include pumpkin with leek and poppy seeds, Thai curry with dried banana, chutney and raita. Or the good old veggie burger.

Intergalactic Diner
True American space
Intergalactic Diner in Belgrade is like a restaurant from the '60s US Midwest. You can order a Comet Dog, a Deep Space Chick or Cosmic Pancakes there...

Savana Cafe on Danube
Breezy, bluesy and friendly
Savana stands out on Zemun Quay with blues, cold beer, and river views — wooden, laid-back, pet-friendly, and blissfully free of turbo folk music.

Diwali Palace
Taken away by Indian spices
Belgrade’s oldest Indian spot, Diwalli Palace serves up bold spices, rich curries, and real charm — led by chef Rakesh Kumar since 1997.

Campo De Fiori
Crunchy Roman-type pizza
Campo de Fiori in Zemun nails Roman-style pizza — thin, crisp, and full of flavor. Tucked underground, it’s a hidden slice of Italy in Belgrade.

Utočište
Oriental refuge under concrete blocks
Tucked in a YU-era complex, visit Utočište with its wondeful people, social impact and Sicilian sweets, — an unexpected gem in New Belgrade.
