"Lika" is a for me a symbol of unspoiled nature, rural living and escape from the civilisation.
  
- I was born in Belgrade, but my parents come from Croatia: Lika & Dalmatia

together, but are both bound to stay close to the kids.                                                                 
 
                                                                                                                         
 
- I wish to do the best for my children, which, until rcently, meant "I want them to have Dutch passports" for the       
 
stability and prosperity that Holland meant for me, since I am from Yugoslavia -- country that does not exist any       
 
more...my parents are from Croatia but they are Serbian, so two out of 3 of my childhood homes are either unaccessible   
 
or destroyed, and the third is in the state of "early accumulation of capital", a.k.a. "candidate for the EU             
 
membership"...                                                                                                           
 
                                                                                                                         
 
... and since last year, I think that "the best for them" would be to take them out of school, out of the city, out of   
 
this sinking country (pun intended), out of the "civilization",  and *back* to the war-wounded Croatian mountains,       
 
"behind God's back".                                                                                                     
 
                                                                                                                         
 
- I was raised on atheism (communism?) and science, and in 1991, when I discovered "the Internet", I thought - this is   
 
the best thing, this is where I'll be living from now on. And I do: I work for the (NGO, not-for-protit) that           
 
"governs" the Internet; I play with hackers and frequent and build hackerspaces, I spend my vacations on hackers         
 
conferences...                                                                                                           
 
                                                                                                                         
 
...however, virtual reality is becoming too un-natural for me, and recently the most spiritual connections I             
 
estabilished with myself and the world were while walking "in nature", such as it is available - parks in Amsterdam.    
 
  
My current plan is to spend next 10 years learning, preparing, and building a community for "natural living". I still   
+
=2024=
don't know what does that mean... that's the "learning" part. I will visit existing "communes", workshops,               
 
festivals... I will make connections with like-minded people -- YOU! I will raise my kids "in captivity", for now, and   
 
when they are "grown up" (legally, 18), I will be able to go on with a different kind of life, giving them a choice to   
 
build their own, or take part in mine...

"Gubavcevo Polje" is a village in Lika, Croatia, where my grandparents used to live, and I used to spend every summer from 1972 to 1990 (when the war started).
 +
 +
It's literally "in the middle of nowhere" (closest city is Gracac, the least populated arena in Croatia), and therefore has unspoiled nature and, absurdly, lots of peace, since all the refugees who left during Oluja in 1997 did not return any more.
