About Me

I live in the northern part of Serbia called Vojvodina, where a lot of nationalities, religions, and languages are represented. As I live in a multicultural community, I learned 2 languages as a two-year-old child and after that a few more :) Also, I learned to respect and love diversity and have an interest in different things, countries, nations, and languages... My curiosity always led me to travel as far as I can, try different sports, love art, meet people, dance, and take every chance I had to explore more. I have finished my master's in Geodesy and Geoinformatics with a major in Space Geodesy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't define only one thing! There are so many experiences and it's a long list but I will write my short one :)
1. The best experience is sky diving, the moment when you realize how small you really are.
2. Taking amazing photos in incredible Antelope Canyon, Arizona, where light is changing and different parts of the day and year make every photo different and different experience.
3. Visiting the biggest and most famous Astronomical Observatories around the world (New York City, London, Moscow, Atacama Desert)
4. Swimming with bioluminescent planktons in Cambodia.
5. Scuba Diving in Dubai, and exploring the underwater world.
6. Moment when I've become an organ donor.
7. Watching Aurora Borealis.
8. Swimming with dolphins
9. Everest Base Camp

Teach, Learn, Share

"Sometimes you have to be really high to understand how small you are"
"I always wander why birds stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the Earth. Then I asked myself the same question"
"You can be dedicated to fitting in. Or you can become devoted to changing the world. But you can't do the both"
"As one person I can not change the world, but I can change the world of one person"

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share lot of my travel experience, knowledge in different languages, a lot of good recipes, some photography tricks and a lot of positive energy :)
