    About markowe

    I am a Brit, but of Yugo origin. Well, we have to say Serbian now, though when I was growing up in the UK, it was just “Yugoslavia”. We won’t get into the national identity or history side of things - the long and short of it is that after graduation from Nottingham University (Slavonic Studies, of course) I ended up working for the British publisher Longman in Belgrade in 1996.To cut short the intervening 10-year (and counting) period, I am now in Novi Sad, Serbia, co-owning a growing publishing, bookselling and languages business called Bookstream. More about that in my links.

    And that’s about it! Apart from that, I have recently started to build a little net presence, which you can also start to explore via my links. In particular, I wanted to start a blog that was about something very few other people could write about, at least not from my standpoint, and that’s mountain-biking in Serbia! There is also It’s Gotta Be Red, which is a ongoing project - a site dedicated to RED STUFF!

    I am also involved in working with young people in a local church, which means spending time, and investing myself (hard work) in teenagers. But that’s for another blog!

    If you want to get in touch, I am sure you will find a way! Or just leave a comment. I look forward to hearing from you!

      Zdravo Marko,

      Video sam tvoju poruku na freebiking forumu, pa mi je bilo zanimljivo da upoznam nekoga iz Britanije, da jos vozi i bajs. Trenutno zivim u Zemunu i obisao sam celu okolinu Beograda bajsem (uzu i siru). Jedino sto mislim da ce biti problem u narednom periodu to je vreme. Mislim na weather ne na time. Prognoze su malo lose za voznju bajsem. Ali svejedno ja sam na raspolaganju. BTW-engleski nije problem.

      Hi Mark,

      I saw your message on the Freebiking forum, and I thought it would be interesting to meet someone from Britain, especially someone who is a cyclist. I live in Zemun at the moment, and have been all round Belgrade by bike, (both near and far). I think the only problem in the near future is going to be the weather. The forecast isn’t too good for bike rides. But anyway, I am happy to help out. BTW English isn’t a problem.
