S01E14 – Anything But Therapy
Episode 14. It’s been 14 days since Episode 13, and the amount of good and bad in between was… exhausting, to say the least. The photo exhibition last week was a major success. A short trip to Denmark followed – delicious and brief. Landed in Zagreb to 20+ degrees, only to wake up to a…

S01E13 – Anything But Therapy
Episode 13. It’s funny how a short break from your favourite band can put a refreshed perspective on what it actually means to you, and boy, did I miss it. Almost three months without a gig, coming back to Maribor for a 3-hour Siddharta special. Explosive! My inner trigger-happy child went ballistic with a record-breaking…

S01E12 – Anything But Therapy
Episode 12. Insert excuse here. With overly optimistic goals, a bit much on my plate and spending too much time on Instagram, it was a week filled with adulting and admin. Feeling unaccomplished and barely catching enough sleep. Job hunting interviews take a lot of mental energy – I can’t really help it, but again,…

S01E11 – Anything But Therapy
Episode 11. With every good intention of sending this episode on time, one simple phone call – and my inability to say no to a new experience – means I’m once again cutting into my sleep time. I’m trying hard not to make it a habit. We’ll see next week. On the bright side, I…

freeLENSerji, episode 9
Joined Goran Vadlja Kamenjašević and Uroš Bitenc to talk about unwritten rules, etiquette, photos I did (and didn’t) take – and a few mild rants, in Slovene. Let me know what you think.

S01E10 – Anything But Therapy
Episode 10. A long Monday, and as I often say, “Ni težko, kar se mora.” So here I am, writing this past my usual bedtime. Sleep? Soon. Looking back at my calendar and camera roll, it was an extraordinary week – mostly family and social time, good food, and a deep dive into some special…

Coffee people are the most annoying people on earth
Here’s why you should become one. We gatekeep a fruit. We argue about water temperatures in decimal points We describe beans like we’re reviewing perfume. Insuferable. But we also wake up excited. Not for caffeine. For the ritual. The smell. The pour. The first sip that tells you if you nailed it. You can spend…

S01E09 – Anything But Therapy
Episode 9. Episode 9, and I somehow wrote the entire thing except the first few paragraphs. A complete opposite of last week – and I’ve got… nothing. Still processing, while simultaneously putting too much on my plate and feeling I should do more. Classic. A quick look at the calendar doesn’t help either. It practically…

Klemen Ceglar, ApiLab
In Višnja Gora, at the home of the Slovenian Carniolan bee, my friend Klemen Ceglar opened his photography exhibition Skriti kotički naših krajev — roughly, Hidden Corners of Our Places. After a decade of photographing every corner of the Municipality of Ivančna Gorica, Klemen could easily work as a local guide, or simply the best…
