A Green Wonderland In The Middle of Belgrade

When I was little I wanted to study biologist. I used to count ants, name them and write about what they were doing that day. I unfortunately grew up and chose another direction in life but my love for the green world also stayed with me. I used to live across this botanical garden when I lived in Belgrade. It was closed for the longest time, so I never got the chance back then to explore it. Since then, it finally opened a few years ago and had the chance to visit it twice. Last summer I went with my good friend Pavle. Pavle is one of my dearest friends. He is studying biology and through him I learn more and more about the green world. Here are some pictures from our small outing into the green wonderland in the middle of Belgrade.

Kada sam bila mala želela sam da studiram biologiju. Brojala sam mrave, davala im imena i pisala šta su radili taj dan. Nažalost sam odrasla i odabrala drugi put u životu ali moja ljubav prema zelenom svetu je još uvek ostala u meni. Živela sam jedno vreme preko puta botaničke bašte kada sam studirala u Beogradu. Tad je bila zatvorena dugo vremena, tako da nisam imala priliku da je tad istražujem. Otvorila se napokon pre par godina i imala sam priliku da je posetim dva puta. Prošlo leto sam išla sa mojim dobrim drugom Pavlom. Pavle je jedan od mojih najdražih prijatelja. On studira biologiju i zahvaljujući njemu sam naučila još ponešto o zelenom svetu. Ja ga prosto obožavam. Evo par slika sa našeg malog izleta u zelenu zemlju čuda u sred Beograda.

Prague, Czech Republic

I had the chance to visit Prague, Czech Republic last summer. It was my first time staying in another city in Europe and actually exploring it. I've been to Vienna, Austria for a day and Quebec City, Quebec for a few. I usually only go to Serbia where I visit my friends and family. This time it was nice to see something new. My cousin had recently moved there to play soccer, so I had the opportunity to stay with him for seven days before I made my way to Serbia. There is a beautiful calmness about this city. I felt so relaxed and refreshed. The streets were clean, the air was fresh. I never wanted to leave. I feel so grateful for being able to see this city and I can't wait to go back!

Prošlo leto sam imala priliku da posetim Prag. To je bio prvi put gde sam na duže vreme boravila u drugoj evropskoj zemlji. Pre šest godina sam bila u Beču na dan i u Kvebeku na nedelju dana. Obično idemo samo u Srbiju gde posetim svoje prijatelje i porodicu. Ovaj put je bilo lepo videti nešto novo. Moj brat se nedavno preselio tamo da igra fudbal, tako da sam imala priliku da ostanem sa njim sedam dana pre nego što sam krenula za Srbiju. Postoji neka smirenost u ovom gradu. Osećala sam se opušteno i osveženo. Ulice su bile čiste, vazduh je bio svež. Nisam želela da odem. Mnogo sam zahvalna što sam mogla da vidm ovaj grad i jedva čekam da mu se vratim!
