I have always loved Greece. For a long period of time I thought that Greece is only the north part of the country where I used to go during summer holidays as a kid. A little bit later, I realized I was wrong, that Greece has other parts as well. Much later, when I was […]

How I made a nice ritual because of my morning pills
I was always a morning type. The one that likes to get up early and think with excitement about the coming day. When I look back into my past, I never had a problem getting up early, be it for work or for some other reason. It could be like that because my dad was […]
Why is Belgrade special for me?
December, 2018. I am on the flight from Amsterdam to Athens. After two hours of flight and on the height of 11.000 meters, Belgrade appears under me. It is middle of the night and it is not clear which part of the city I had seen above me, but in that moment that was not […]
Peloponnese quietness
Since I moved from Belgrade to Athens, I started attending Greek lessons. We completed by now many subjects and new words and yesterday’s subject made me thinking. We read a story about a family, parents with kids, moving from a big city to a village for better life conditions. Before we started reading, the professor […]

So far I had thought about […]
South-eastern Serbia
I lived in Serbia since I was nine years old. Like most Serbians, I don’t know much about my country. By saying that I mean that most of the population hasn’t seen a big part of Serbia. The desire to see more places in other countries, made us strangers in our motherland. We always have […]
Stavros Niarhos Fundational Cultural Center (Place to be)
The Greek language school ended for this year. The summer came and I was full of enthusiasm to continue in the same rhythm to work on my language. I was not satisfied with the speed of learning and I wanted to encourage myself to begin learning at home. The plan was to read the whole […]
Grandmothers
Hot morning and the forecast says it will be near 40 °C. The heat makes me lazy to travel in the middle of the day. We postpone our trip for later on that day to our destination called Livadi, a village in the region Leonidio, Peloponnese. The village numbers 17 inhabitants. During the summer tourists visit […]
