Thanks for watching! Please note that the primary reflections shared in this video are not related to Belgrade or Serbia, but instead were thoughts I documented while visiting this city during an extended trip to Europe. All the best!🙏
You think to much , you talk to much, embrace life, enjoy life , feel love, , you are in Serbia, everything is out there to see, love, expirience. Relax , no fear at all, we do not bite!
Been to Serbia like 5 times because it was very beneficial for my mental health. Back home, I always have to think about what to say, what to think and always greet people with the smile even though I was going through hell. Serbia is chill. If it wasn't for current government, I would have probably move there...
It's not the government that one needs to worry about. Serbia is resistance central. During nato bombing they believed they were standing up to New World Order, just like they did in WW1 and WW2. whether that was the case or not you can debate, but it can easily repeat if the west tries a coup to force the lithium mine, or with the new cold war gearing up in the world.
Welcome to Serbia, glad you had a nice time in my hometown of Belgrade! You took really nice shots of some places I see every week. I really like the concept of the channel, maybe like a remote podcast, and the topics are really interesting. Also komorebi is really peaceful to me, it reminds me that I’m alive in that moment when I see it. Good luck on the next travels😊
Thank you so much, there were so many beautiful parks and locations to film! Couldn't agree more on Komorebi - brings you back into the moment with a strong sense of peace 🙂

Thanks a lot for the video. It is different from other videos about Belgrade and Serbia. I like your story about using anxiety and fear for self-improvement. These can be valuable tools in your toolbox. Thanks again, good lesson!
@@opustenoskroz Thank you for sharing those kind words 🙏🏻 very glad to hear that some of the reflections resonated. It's interesting that the challenges we face internally are often some of the best teachers.
@@opustenoskroz Ah wow this made my day🙏🏻 all I hope for is to share my reflections and learnings authentically so hopefully they can encourage others along the way
Dear friend, it is interesting that you comment on security in Belgrade, Belgrade was not safe only in 1999 when we were bombed by 13 countries, including yours, as the main initiator, and with the generous concession of air space by 9 other countries. It seems that we were less afraid then. We probably then learned a lot about meditation, visualization and seeing the positive effects of fear, so now we are so relaxed that at every step there is Dalai Lama to another Dalai Kama. Come again, we were born wise and cheerful. Greetings from the banks of the Danube in Zemun
@@bojanalukic8515 I felt nothing but safe and welcome the city 🙂 The thoughts on fear and freedom are unrelated to the city itself. Instead, they are general reflections on those concepts especially as they pertain to an individual
You started a great philosophical question. Can steping out of your comfort zone, or out of enjoyment zone, both on a short and long time base, help you harvest more fruit than you would harvest the old way. Would you have enough strength to battle again trough rough things that you had to, to come where you're now. It's always a question of self-confidence, I think.
@@dantemika Yes - perhaps it’s a balance of not biting off more than we can chew, so we can grow through challenges in a sustainable way that avoids burning out
Yes no doubt - this incredible city has so much to offer. Though maybe a little too much tasty cevap haha. Didn't show all on video but I ate way too much of that
I appreciate your thoughts on freedom, happiness & your personal responsibility for your choices... yes, too many choices can lead to emptiness & restlessness. Your self-awareness is very refreshing. Be brave always, go forward to expand & grow! Btw, many Ukranians (who are in fact also Russians) are in Belgrade now...
@@DanaBanov Thank you so much for these kind words 🙏🏼 all i can hope for is to share my thoughts vulnerably in hopes that they may encourage others in a positive way
Dragi prijatelju,najeftiniji restorani sa pravom srpskom hranom su van grada.Svaki grad u Srbiji ima domaći specijalitet Niš,Novi Sad,Čačak,Užice,Novi Pazar.Sledeći put dodjite u maju mesecu ,obiđite celu Srbiju😊

Everyone with good minds and heart are welcome in our beautiful and beloved serbia. Serbia is very open to everybody. You are a nice and cool dude, just enjoy and chill your life here. Serbs are not depresessed people, we have our own rules or not rules, we don’t care😅. Eat, drink, sing, dance, make fun and maybe fall in love❤️
What you talk about is unknown to Serbs. Freedom is above anything. We are ready to pay any price for it and situation was the same through our whole, very long history. We usually don't think too much about dates, where we will eat, where and how to have fun... comfortable is not what we seek. Just be natural and do what you feel. One more freedom is not to be like "politically correct" to call things with proper names.
@@bgdabg6769 Thank you for sharing that perspective - That was absolutely my understanding after learning more of the history during my visit. In this video, I'm speaking from a much different point of view, and can only hope to be authentic in genuinely sharing my personal thoughts🙏🏻 I think the type of freedom I discuss is different - more of a 'personal' freedom vs. 'national' freedom. I hope perhaps thinking about the general concepts could still be beneficial for anyone to reflect on how we all could embrace discomforts in our lives. I do also recognize that the examples I share may be overly simplistic, but the original thought was to share more general examples 🤝🏻
@@ThisIsVladG It was nothing against your words. You did great job. It was clarification of our lifestyle where comfort is not a goal but to do things how you think you should. In this case, personal freedom, family and friends, society or even country is often on the same bases. When someone share his experiences you will recognize it is similar to society/state one. Moves that lead to big suffering and sacrifice, doing things in harder way. If people here are different, whole history of the country would be the same. Our history reflect our collective and in majority of cases personal mentality. There is a big pride over choices made in a proper way. Based on the feeling what is right or wrong, what is really important and what is just shining trends. Like you said, you should not be afraid of failure. Failure will surely come but in the end of the process...you had a life.
I really appreciate you sharing these thoughts. That strong sense of purpose and teamwork was on full display when the Serbian basketball team came within minutes of beating team USA. The teamwork from Serbia was on another level
@@bgdabg6769How come we have failed to be free so much throughout our past? Just after WW2 - Yosip Broz, Miloshevich, now Vuchich ... Very bad systems, very oppressive political situations.
@@BelgradeArch You confuse things. With Tito we were not happy but were free from genocidal occupation. It was not occupation even if freedom was reduced there was support of majority. Milosevic was legally elected president just like Vucic. We were successful at fighting all occupiers in the past. In this moment it is NATO and they are not kicked out yet.
All good people just like you, with open mind and brain in use, with good heart are always welcome to white city Belgrade. Wish you all the best in the future and hope you come visit us.м Just keep on the right path and don't pay attention to the evil and stupid leeches who feed on other people's suffering and misfortune
The anglo saxon concept of freedom is related to being able to do whatever you want regardless of what anyone else thinks. The continental european concept of freedom as explicated by people like Kant is related to the ability of the individual or country to make its own rules and live by it's own rules. Saying that your not gonna engage in physical pleasures like drugs and living by that is freedom from those desires as opposed to the anglo Saxon idea that you should try to satisfy every desire you have as soon as you have it
@@marlam3891 Thanks for watching 🙏🏼 Yes I believe so! I felt nothing but safe walking around. Like with any big city, I would just encourage researching different areas to stay in and taking other precautions to be aware of your surroundings, but otherwise I personally wouldn’t consider Belgrade to be any less safe then any other big european city
@@Miletovmed If you watch the video and read the description than you will see that the fear is not related to Serbia. There is nothing to fear in Serbia! I experienced nothing but openness and kindness from the locals I talked to
@@sasablagojevic1404 Thanks for your comment! Not quite sure what you're referring to regarding security - I'm simply discussing generally embracing discomfort and uncertainty in all aspects of life. In many ways, much of western life does promote seeking 'stability' and 'security' through life's comforts, but I'm advocating to embrace the benefits that may come from challenges
@ThisIsVladG I know that travelling to different places is one of the best life experiences, so it would be cool if something in Belgrade triggered your thoughts
Belgrade, ok, Keep the murals, they have some vibe, butz remove the graffitis...They're ugly as hell, give the expression of poor and primitive city...
graffiti have their place and are way of expression and are the one side of the art, BUT... you are right, just pure "tagging" of the buildings is ugly and ruin the beauty of them.
Well, a tourist went to see something and he has some impressions on that, some are positive, some are not...and so on and on. I dont see much of a benefit in watching tours made by casual tourists. Very little is based on facts and knowledge, and so much on limited subjective experience and personal judgment. An amateurish approach. Could be likeable to watch but not very helpful. Net is flooded by such clips.
@@brankobozic3384 Honestly agreed - the closer we can all get to facts from primary sources, the better educated we can be as a society. If you read the description, you can see that my videos are intended more as philisophical video journals intended to encourage self reflection :-)
