Spotter since 2019
"Kino Tuškanac" is a cinephile's cinema in Zagreb. It's got unpretentious looks, but don't let that fool you -- the program is great. No popcorn allowed!

"ZKM Theater", or Zagreb's Youth Theater, is one of my favorite theaters because of its contemporary approach, critical attitude and daring performances...
By
"Express Bar" feels like a visit to your best girlfriend in Zagreb, who also happens to have an exquisite taste in home decor and really makes an effort...

"Velvet Pepper Studio" Zagreb is a light-filled yoga studio that specialises in yoga swings, where you have to stay concentrated! Classes also in English.
By
"La štruk" in Zagreb makes štrukli, the Croatian comfort food par excellence, with creative twists: gratinated, additional toppings... Nothing comes close!
By
"Botaničar" in Zagreb is a hip bar that's also a gallery and social club. Let me tell you: spending time here makes you want to invest in houseplants.

"Vintage Industrial" is a bar/club in Zagreb I remember from my student years. Nowadays I go there for the really great tribute bands that play on weekends

About me
I was born but not raised in Zagreb and moved back to the city in 2010 when I started my university studies. I finished my Master’s degree in Education and Sociology in the meantime and am currently working for an NGO as a project manager and youth worker.
While education is my main professional interest, in my free time I love balancing out the pragmatism of my day-job with reading, philosophy and expressing myself through writing and music. If I had the time, I’d spend all my money on travel and activities in the outdoors.
Why Zagreb
Although it seems that Zagreb has become internationalized only in the past few years, it has for decades been a melting pot of cultures present in different Croatian regions. And along with the arrival of expats from other countries of the world, Zagreb’s cultural, gastronomic and bar scene has been blooming. Whether it’s street festivals, concept stores, bars with live music or pubs serving local craft beer – there’s something new to discover each week. And I love that they are effortlessly co-existing with those old, very typical Zagreber places and customs – like the Saturday visit to the farmer’s markets that exist in every neighborhood.
What’s also great about Zagreb is its geographical position: our local Medvednica mountain can be reached by public transport and in a few hours by car one can visit either the Alps or the Adriatic sea.
