The post you have all been waiting for! 🏀 Unfortunately, because of covid most teams in Brevin’s league aren’t allowing any fans, but last week I was able to go to one of Brevin’s games!

Who Let the Dogs Out?
There are a lot of stray dogs and cats in Serbia, one Serbian magazine estimated that there are upwards of several thousand dogs on streets. From what we have seen, locals are extremely kind to these animals, going out of their way to leave food and water around the city and give the dogs attention.Continue reading “Who Let the Dogs Out?”
Church of Saint Sava
The Church of Saint Sava, located in Belgrade, is the largest Orthodox place of worship in the Balkans. It is built on the spot where Saint Sava’s, the founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church, relics were burned in 1594. However, you don’t have to be Orthodox to appreciate the beauty of this church. It isContinue reading “Church of Saint Sava”

It turns out that between the 1960s and early 2000s, hundreds of young Serbian parents were told their newborn babiesContinue reading “The Missing Babies Mystery”

World War II destroyed many residential buildings and homes in Serbia, so following the war New Belgrade was built to address the housing crisis. This is why the city wasContinue reading “Novi Beograd”
The (Dreaded?) First Blog Post
A wise man once said, “Does your girl write a blog? If she doesn’t, she will. And you gotta read it” Well, Trey Kennedy, you were indeed right because here we are (hi Brev!). If you have no idea what I’m talking about and want a little laugh, take three minutes to watch Trey Kennedy’sContinue reading “The (Dreaded?) First Blog Post”
