Zdravo dragi ljudi/ Hola chicos/ Hi everyone

my name is Tanja, currently studying digital art in Belgrade, Serbia. Besides movies, my greatest passion is traveling, and exploring new places, cities, culture and people. With that in mind, I love taking photos of my journeys. That helps me to keep in memory everything that I would probably forget.
I would describe myself as an artist/ dreamer/ traveler/ adventurer and old soul.

• saved a friend's life when he fell from the motorbike, completely drunk.

• hiked on the mountain Rumia (Montenegro) 1800+ m without any knowledge about hiking or preparations.
• traveled alone to USA when I was 18
• Went to North Poland to Radiohead's concert. Probably best night ever.
• Survived falling from a train, car accident, breaking both legs while playing football. Also survived while dogs were biting my leg and falling from a bike from a hill. Oh yes, and i survived two hurricanes while I was living in Dominican Republic
