"I am the One and Only" viddra's Profile

Greetings

Hello there, my fellow travellers, thank you for stopping by my page.

My name's Dragana, which is a Serbian name meaning 'dear' or 'darling'. As such, it's mostly used in poems.

Family

I come from a huge family, with a lot of relatives living not only in Serbia, but also in Slovenia, France, Bulgaria, FYR Macedonia, Australia and other countries. Even my grandfather (my mum's dad) was born and lived for some time in the USA (Pueblo,Colorado).

I haven't met some of my relatives, yet, but I visit those close ones on a regular basis and often hear something interesting and new for my Family Tree. So, I can say that it's in my blood not to stay at one place but to explore the world. My plan's to visit at least one country a year, and I'm on the way to fulfill it.

Work

I've been teaching English for 10 years now. During this time, I've spent a lot of memorable time with adorable 7-15-year-olds. I'm proud to say that my younger pupils and I founded a Drama Club in October 2007 (had several performances of plays called The Lost Lamp, The Story of Santa Claus and Cinderella). I've also been editing our school web-magazine (designed the pdf version of all the issues, some of which with the help of my niece) since October 2008.

I've also done some voluntary work lately, in Belgium and Northern Ireland. Thanks to this work, I've become richer in friends and wonderful experiences.

Interests

a part of my private library

Beside travelling, meeting new people and cultures, I like reading books (my all-time favourites are The Giving Tree by Sheil Silverstein, The Hobbit by Tolkien and Lust for Life by Irving Stone), taking pics and collecting stamps.

Hello Dragana. I am contemplating a trip and would like to stay in Kikinda if possible. I am assuming this is velika kikinda. I want to go to Vrbica from there and would need to rent a car for my sightseeing. If you have any suggestions I would be grateful. As it happens I was born in Vrbica and went to the Hungarian school in Kikinda many years ago.
