I'm a traveler who writes and a writer who travels. I travel to make a living, I write to travel, I live to take the next trip... Born in Zagreb, Croatia and based in New York since 1999, I've lived, worked and traveled on all the continents, except Antarctica.

Anja Mutic wrote a blog post Berlin beckons
I spent five days visiting friends in Berlin last week and walked away from the German capital with a conclusion: If I were to move back to the old continent, Berlin would be my city of choice. It's definitely, methinks, the coolest capital in Europe. Thi"

Last week I made an overnight visit to Ljubljana, the small and delightful capital of Slovenia. An easy 2.5-hour train ride away from Zagreb, my base at the moment, it offered a nice city break. My reasons for the trip were of personal nature but I manage"
Anja Mutic wrote a blog post Croatia though Lomos
It's summertime in Croatia, the most popular time to visit one of the hippest countries in Europe. It's so fashionable, in fact, that I typically try to escape the crowds and trendy locales and head to places out of the way."
