Vienna

                                                                                              CLICK TO SEE MORE












After our super short trip to Bratislava in September, Jelena and I decided to switch new Astra to Opel Zafira and continue our trip to Vienna with friends. So, how was it? These short clips aka Vines are probably the best way to describe it!
Let's start:
- last minute decision to book a hotel or some apartment for five friends in a fully packed Vienna at the end of the September led us to this: https://vine.co/v/exWOKmJOFaU (I found the perfect apartment without beds which was gallery right before we came in, so call me if you need any recommendation)
- we were strolling through the rainy Vienna every day: https://vine.co/v/exMTzhaIFTK
- we became regular guests at Roberto, where we met amazing girls from Serbia: https://vine.co/v/exv1HFJtwMH  (you must try cocktails with raspberries)
- we visited the secret club thanks to our new friends: https://vine.co/v/ex9wDxH0vU7 (if you have that special key, you are more than welcome)
- we strolled again, this time to Albertina museum: https://vine.co/v/exXzABtD2mK , https://vine.co/v/exLuEnJ9dDZ
- we decided to have more raspberries at the Palmenhaus: https://vine.co/v/exHIBaUrAzX
-  we were trying out our new clothes: https://vine.co/v/exXimTpJmbX (coat over Pj's and heels is almost normal thing to do before bed time)
- we were changing restaurants, bars, cafes on a daily base: https://vine.co/v/eQBwWiYr9U0
- we even made a decision to be glamours at some point: https://vine.co/v/eQ1p2Hi6aP0 , https://vine.co/v/exUaLXhHMEj
- and then we needed to go home: https://vine.co/v/eQiIItuUuBz
So, how was it? ;)

Bratislava with Opel

                                                                                            CLICK TO SEE MORE















Couple months ago (September to be more precise), Jelena and I went to Bratislava with Opel and after a short Vienna-Belgrade flight, we had a chance to attend the international media launch for the new Opel Astra. We started our test drive from Vienna airport to Bratislava with possibility to drive through The Little Carpathians. It was fun as usual to tryout all the new features such as the improved next generation Opel eye front, traffic sign assist, following distance indication, lane keep assist, wellness massage (yap) and probably one of my favorite - personal connectivity and service assistant Opel OnStar.
After we freshened up a little bit at our Grand Hotel River Park we went for a short sightseeing and for the first time I had that feeling of not liking some city. Sorry Bratislava, but you were a little disappointing. Luckily, we had organized dinner at the Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum of modern art which was (beside our hotel) the prettiest place in town. Instead of being taken to our dinner destination by bus, as is the norm for car launches, we were asked to take to the wheel ourselves. The reason? Opel’s groundbreaking new IntelliLux LED matrix light that made its debut in the new Astra. Don't believe it? Just click here!
The test route, the typical, cool and warm Opel atmosphere, the car, the technologies, the innovations, everything was great, so thank you Opel for this experience!

In Ireland with Opel

If anyone had told me a few months ago that I will be on a road trip with Opel (check out our first journey to Frankfurt) trough Ireland, I wouldn't have believed them! But things happen when you least expect it and that's how I ended up in Ireland in February! 
Jelena and I were among the first ones who tested the all-new 2.0 CDTI engine, which comes along in Insignia and also the ‘whisper diesel’ 1.6 CDTI engine in Opel Mokka. Ireland’s cozy size, excellent highways and breath-taking diversity of coastal and inland scenery were ideal for test drive. We got the chance to see the amazing Wicklow County located on the Irish east coast. This particular area is stamped by hilly roads leading through a spacious national park, offering both perfect conditions to extensively test these engines and of course to snap some  photos. ;) After this we also made a quick Dublin tour on foot which has a lot to offer especially if you are a true fan of Georgian architecture and of course beer. :)
During this short but great trip we discovered a small part of a land with outstanding natural beauty in the best possible way, on the road! So if you are into nature, start your engines and explore this amazing country, you will be thrilled! Hope to be back soon and see even more of beautiful Ireland! 
Thank you Opel for this adventure!

Winter city break

                                                                                               CLICK TO SEE MORE











                                                                                                 location: Belgrade
                                                                                                 place: Belgrade Art Hotel (BAH)
                                                                                                 make up: Dragana Kostic
                                                                                                 ph. Dragana Paramentic and me


Weekend before a NY's Eve Jelena and I checked into the Belgrade Art Hotel for a stylish staycation!
It was a perfect getaway without huge driving distance or flights and it was reserved for PJ's, magazines and pastries without talking about work or anything related to it. Only waffles, macarons and the best cremeschnitte in town! Okay, champagne was allowed too! ;)
The hotel provided a delicious departure from our everyday realities and the Art Suite was our ideal escape!
Should I mention how much I loved the spacious bathroom and a large terrace with seating, overlooking the main street in Belgrade? Centrally located with quiet and peaceful atmosphere,oh yes, it's possible!
What better way to clear our minds before starting a plans for a 2015!?


Huge thanks to Dragana for capturing those silly lazy moments and the other Dragana for making us pretty! ;)

p.s. if you are planing a trip to Belgrade, or just want to have relaxing weekend like we did, BAH is offering a special Winter city package, so be sure to check it!
