I don’t have picturetaken, giving interviews, donning gowns and the like.” You’ve conquered the poles, the world’s highest peaks etc. How do you manage to persevere and push your limits in extreme situations? “In such a way that I hacked myself by choosing situations that there’s no turning back from once you’ve started; situations in which givingup isn’t a cheapoption.When I was on an expedition in the Arctic, the aim was to cover 300 km on a dog sleigh. We only had the possibility of giving up after the first day, whichwaschallenging ineverysense. I was among those who decided to continue and I can now say that I’m rich, because that has only been experiencedby 186peopleworldwide.

And afterwards everything sort of fits into place for a person to upgrade themselves and endure the challenge they’veset for themselves.” You recently embarked on an adventure around Serbia with your daughter and dog. Is it really that easy to pack a tent and head out? “In a systemwhere you are a hero if you successfully conduct your daily routine, I needed for Luča and I, together with our dogs, to have that freedomto once aweek unburdenourselves fromvarious assigned tasks, to pack a backpack without having to organise everything perfectly in advance and spend extra energy on it.

Nekako mi čitanje ovog časopisa dođe kao ritualni uvod u putovanje. I ćerka i ja najviše volimo da, leteći, stignemo nekud. ALWAYS AIR SERBIA AND ELEVATE How do you most often spend your time aboard Air Serbia’s planes? “This will now sound “cheesy”, but really the first thing I do aboard a plane – and I most often travel with my favourite Air Serbia – is to “grab” Elevate.

I performed intensively in the theatre prior to giving birth to my child. I thenreducedthat andfinallydecided it didn’t pay off to give halfmy earnings to a nanny in order not to be withmy child.
