Back to the 19th century If you would like to travel back in time for a moment, come with me to the Residence of Prince Milos Obrenovic, the ruler of Serbia in two periods during the 19th century. At that time, Serbia was an autonomous principality within the Ottoman Empire. His residence is located in the most beautiful park in Belgrade, called Topcider. My son loves this park very much so we often go there and it is especially beautiful during autumn. Although we are there…

Gardos Tower-an imposing and mysterious tower in Belgrade There are places that must be experienced. Sometimes photos are not enough. But still, I will try to convey to you the beauty of the imposing Gardos tower located in Zemun - one of the most beautiful settlements of my city, Belgrade. I often go to Zemun with my family. In addition to walking by the Danube river and visiting the open market, a few weeks ago we went to Gardos Tower. Zemun is a fishing settlement with a…
Unexpectedly different children's birthday A few weeks ago, my five-year-old son was invited to a birthday party. I was not so happy about that because it meant that I would spend the weekend in the playroom waiting for the celebration to end. This is not a favorite weekend activity for parents, but for the sake of the children, we adapt and agree to sometimes spend our time in ways we don't want to. The meeting place was a nearby cafe, but we had no idea that we would only…
A visit to the National Museum in Belgrade Visiting museums is like traveling through time. Sometimes it takes you to the recent past and sometimes even to the Paleolithic and Neolithic. I had guests from Greece, and as my isolation due to the Covid infection ended, I was happy to walk around the city with them. At the end of the walk, they expressed their wish to visit the National Museum located on Republic Square in Belgrade. When you find yourself in this square, you…
Miracles by the river I always wanted to live in a seaside place, but unfortunately I live in a landlocked country - Serbia. That's why I look forward to every summer vacation when I have the chance to travel to coastal countries. My son is like me. He also loves the sea and would be happy if we were near the sea more often. A few days ago, there was a public holiday in Serbia, so I had a day off. My son asked me if we could go on a trip to the sea since I don't work. I told…
My first year on read.cash - between dream and reality Hello everyone. You can congratulate me! 😊It's been a year since I joined the read.cash community! http://read.cash If I could choose one word to describe how I feel after a year, it would be - grateful. In the beginning, everything seemed like a dream. I was given the chance to do what I love, to write and to even be rewarded for it by "someone". That "someone" entered my life unexpectedly like an enigma and made me…
Get to know me in five words I remember an interview for the job I'm currently doing. They asked me to describe myself in only 5 words. The same question was asked in the weekend-engagement contest on Hive this weekend. Unlike a job interview when honesty is not always preferable, I am happy that I was given the chance to answer again, but this time without hesitation and honestly. 😊 A moment of facing oneself is always good, so I am grateful for this opportunity. It's been…
