BEZ ČEGA NE ULAZITE U AVION?

ZAŠTO VOLITE AVIONE?

KOJA VAM JE DESTINACIJA OSTALA U SEĆANJU? Mauricijus. Suprug i ja smo putovali konekcijom iz Pariza i bili dve nedelje tamo, bliže Madagaskaru, bliže prirodi. WHICH DESTINATION HAS REMAINED IN YOUR MEMORY? Mauritius. My husband and I travelled via a connecting ight from Paris and spent two weeks there, closer to Mad- agascar, closer to nature.

WHAT DON’T YOU BOARD A PLANE WITHOUT? I don’t board without earphones. This is my favourite time for listening to music, writing words, summarising. I carry my planner. For me, ying by plane is one of my dearest moments to slightly remove myself (and literally physically) and view life from a bird’s perspective. There’s al- so an icon that has travelled with me since 1999. It’s always there. Ne ulazim bez slušalica. To je omiljeno vreme za slušanje muzike, pisanje, re- zimiranje. Nosim svoj planer. Za mene je let avionom jedan od najdražih tre- nutaka da se malo izmaknem (i fizič- ki bukvalno) i pogledam život iz ptičje perspektive. Takođe, tu je i ikona, koja sa mnom putuje svetom još od 1999. Uvek je tu.

Zbog činjenice da smo na trenutak bliži nebu, za mene je taj momenat uvek nekako i duhovno poseban. Samo uzbuđenje koje nosi bilo koje putovanje, novi planovi, ideje, sve to nekako vezujem za avion. Ali i kafa koju ću popiti, što bi rekli, „iz aviona se vidi“ da posebno prija.

WHY DO YOU LIKE PLANES?

ZAŠTO VOLITE BEOGRAD? Beograd je moj rod- ni grad, a za Dorćol sam posebno vazana, kao i za Senjak. U Beogra- du imam porodicu i pri- jatelje, zatim moje prija- telje muzičare sa kojima gotovo deceniju putujem i sviram. U Beogradu je moje srce.

WHY DO YOU LOVE BELGRADE?

Due to the fact that we are momen- tarily closer to heaven, for me that moment is somehow always also spiritually special. The mere excite- ment brought by any journey, new plans, ideas – I somehow associ- ate all of that with a plane. But also the coee that I’ll drink, which, as they would say, “can be seen from a plane” to be particularly pleasing.

Belgrade is my hometown, and I’m particularly close- ly connected to Dorćol and Senjak. In Belgrade I have family and friends, then my musician friends with whom I’ve been travelling and per- forming for nearly a decade. My heart is in Belgrade.
