Belgrade, the capital of Serbia was the biggest surprise on my Eastern European journey. There’s a feeling of creative energy in the city, thanks to a budding nightlife and fashion scene.
Watch this travel video to see Serbian concept stores, floating raft nightclubs, and a Frida Kahlo restaurant on the waterfront.
Next, I explored the indie culture of the Croatian capital, Zagreb. I visited a rock music club that brings in bands like Shonen Knife, and went on a witch’s tour where I made a cardboard “Mask of Shame.”

I stayed at Selection Apartments, run by the sweetest family. They even brought me “burek,” or filo pastries for breakfast.
