<font color=blueviolet>Some FAQs about the author, i.e. me:
<B>What kind of traveller am I?</B>
Definitely a backpacker. Give me a train ticket and a hostel map and I'll say, Thanks, that's great. If I flew somewhere and then got transferred straight to the pre-paid hotel, I'd feel that a part of the fun is missing.
<B>If you see someone looking like me stepping out of a higher class hotel with a suitcase in her hand, will you be terribly wrong if you go, Hey Oja, how's things?</B>
No, that's probably me, but on a business trip.
<B>Where did I get that funny name?</B>
It's my actual nickname. One evening some six years ago I was sitting in my favourite club when this guy came up and said, Hi, I've seen you around, what's your name? When I told him, he said, No way, three syllables is much too long. So he came up with Oja, and I've been Oja ever since. (BTW, the word has many meanings in different languages - <I>ditch</I> in Finnish, <I>brook</I> in Lithuanian and Estonian, <I>to complain</I> in Swedish (verb, yes!), <I>milk tea</I> in Ladakhi, a dialect of Tibetan, <I>o ja</I> in German and dutch, and <I>orange juice</I> in Aussie-ish. If you know any other, please tell me! <B>And of course, a big thanks to all who did so far!</B>)
<B>In what languages am I able to reply to your messages?</B>
Besides my mother tongue and English, I am fluent in Croatian (Serbian, Bosnian), and literate in French and German. You can also try and contact me in Italian and Macedonian, but I won't reply in these languages (unless you want a good laugh!).
<B>What are my top 5 places?</B>
No clue. All are great!
<B>What do I look for in a page?</B>
Most of all, the author! Yourself! I'm more a text type than a photo type, so a page consisting solely of photos with captions is likely to leave me cold. I'll appreciate useful info, but what will truly melt me are stories of 'how that funny Italian lady pretended she was our grandma just to get us a bargain rent for the neighbouring villa' or 'I nearly died with shock when that German toilet stall started <I>talking</I>'. And if you think closely, you'll find that dozens of such intriguing things actually happened on your trips! So why not share them?
<B>Which part of Europe is the best?</B>
South and East.
