From TikTok to TV: Unveiling My Love for Serbia on Pokreni Se, Nova TV
I'm thrilled to share a major milestone in my journey – my debut appearance on the renowned Serbian morning news show, Pokreni Se, on Nova TV. Invited by the charismatic journalist Danilo Masojevic, who had been following my adventures on TikTok, the experience was nothing short of exhilarating as I stepped onto the television stage to unfold my story and express my deep affection for the beautiful country of Serbia.
The interview kicked off with a light-hearted touch, Danilo delving into the most important meal of the day – breakfast. Having previously shared my struggles of finding American cereal in Serbia on TikTok, the question was inevitable. With a chuckle, I revealed my breakfast favorites and exchanged banter about the charm of hunting down that elusive box of cereal in the city of Belgrade.
As the conversation flowed seamlessly, we explored the surprises that unfolded since my move to the Serbian capital. I couldn't help but express my admiration for the remarkably good-looking and slim populace of Serbia, adding a touch of humor by mentioning my newfound appreciation for staying in shape. The audience resonated with the light-hearted moment, and it set the tone for an engaging and enjoyable interview.
Danilo then prompted me to share my experiences beyond Belgrade, inquiring about the other cities I had explored in Serbia. Here, I playfully mentioned my lack of a car, inviting anyone willing to be my chauffeur to join me on future explorations. Laughter filled the studio as we discussed the perks of having a personal tour guide to navigate the picturesque landscapes of Serbia's various cities.
Delving deeper into the conversation, we touched upon the sense of safety and comfort I've found in Serbia. I highlighted the long history of Serbia and Yugoslavia welcoming Africans to study as far back as the 1960s, fostering a sense of familiarity and acceptance. It was heartening to discuss the warmth and hospitality that has made Serbia feel like a home away from home.
Our discussion took a melodic turn as we explored the vibrant music scene and the pulsating nightlife in Serbia. I shared my admiration for the rich musical heritage and the energetic atmosphere that captivates anyone stepping into the lively venues of Belgrade. The audience got a glimpse of my genuine enthusiasm for the cultural tapestry that makes Serbia so unique.
Perhaps one of the most heartfelt moments of the interview was when I confessed my surprising lack of homesickness, except for the persistent craving for American cereal. It became a lighthearted recurring theme throughout the conversation, creating a connection with the viewers who could relate to the pangs of nostalgia for a taste of home.
For those curious to catch the full interview, it's now available on YouTube, offering a more in-depth look into my experiences and reflections on Serbia. I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity to share my story on such a prestigious platform and extend my heartfelt thanks to Danilo and the entire Pokreni Se team for making this moment possible.
This transition from TikTok to TV has been a remarkable journey, and I'm excited to continue using these platforms to bridge gaps, share stories, and foster connections. Here's to more adventures, more laughter, and more opportunities to spread the love for Serbia! 📺🇷🇸 #PokreniSe #NovaTV #SerbiaLove #FromTikTokToTV
