I'll tell you a little bit about me, who I am, why I started this blog, etc. This post will be added to the About Me section for future reference
I am a 17 year old girl with a severe case of wanderlust and a passion for culture - especially fashion and music. I live in the U. S. but I was born in Belgrade, Serbia, which is basically my portal to Europe during the summer. Unfortunately, a Serbian passport has limitations, so the only place within Europe that I've really been to is London, where my dad lives. However, as of this year the world is finally open to me because A) my family and I became US citizens and B) the Serbian visa-requirement was lifted! Thus, I created this blog to showcase the world to those who can't experience it in person and to document my travels! I also want to show the world from a teenager's perspective, a point of view that is critical but often ignored.
Now I'm going to explain how I will run my blog. On the right hand panel, there are a few boxes. The first says Veni Vidi Vici. These are the places I have been to so far in my relatively short existence (I shall conquer the whole planet one day :). Under that is a list of places I will visit this summer.
Although Belgrade is my hometown, I suppose I am not a true tourist there, but I still experience a different aspect of the city as I grow older!
London is just an amazing, exciting city with so much to do and it's so walkable. The first time I went, I was convinced that all metropolises were like New York, so I was shocked by London's "vertically challenged" buildings. (This picture is amazing by the way...I wish I took it. I wish I had an SLR to turn even the most boring photos into something worthwhile)
I will be a true tourist in Paris however, because it is completely new to me. I have been told about the city since birth, have drooled over it in movies, and have been learning french for 5 years now which will make this dream-come-true experience even more incroyable!
Ideally, my posts will be mostly pictures of the places I see and insight into the city that one can absorb only by being there, not through reading guidebooks. I will also add some of my own personal acumen on the aspects of culture that I love the most, fashion and music, as I have mentioned.
I hope you will enjoy reading about my travels and are inspired to see the world!
