About Me

For the last 10 years I've been in and out of Serbia, my home country.

There is this satisfying sensation of being abroad and getting the hang of other cultures and lifestyles. It is very self-cultivating as you give yourself a go-ahead to break from the norms existing in your place of birth.

I'm an English teacher and an artist.
Currently, I am obsessing over embroidery. I developed a small handcrafting business which, beside letting me express myself, supports my flexible lifestyle. Other than that, I like making sculptures out of clay.

My work allows me to work remotely, which I'm super grateful for.

I have Klara, a very reserved hedgehog, she sleeps most of the day.
