Goran from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

“Well, that’s easy. The mixed styles of East and West architecture, combined with beautiful natural surroundings, mountains, and hills, make Sarajevo a place worth seeing. There is an old saying that says whoever visits Sarajevo once will come back again for sure. But more importantly, every city’s soul is in its people. And Sarajevo has a big soul. It has been proven many times, through good and bad days. From the Olympic games in ’84 to the aggression Sarajevo has experienced in the nineties. Our souls (people) are welcoming, always ready to help anyone in need, funny, and have a specific dark sense of humor. Sarajevo is a place where words cannot describe its spirit. But a visit can. Stay safe in this challenging time.” – Goran Bonic, System Engineer at AP

Ajeet from Mandi, India

“I am from a very small city Mandi, town, central Himachal Pradesh state, northwestern India. It lies along the Beas River north-northwest of Shimla, the state capital. I love the place as it is something that cannot be pinned down. I spent 17 years of my life in that place. Growing up those mountains, those crystal clear streams with underlying glistening stones, those shivering winter mornings, that pleasant warm winter sunshine, that chirping of birds, that invariably being close to nature most of the time of the day. One gets accustomed to them sooner or later, and if you are brought up there, then these things seem pretty usual.” – Ajeet Singh, Software Developer at AP

Yerevan is a city of contrasts – old yet modern, noisy yet quiet, imbued with the warm pink of tufa stones seasoned with the trees’ green. Yerevan is home to museums, art, live music, and cafes, but first of all, it is the people that make the city so special. Friendly, hospitable, and with a sense of humor, they can be ironic at themselves. This cocktail, topped with a cherry in the form of 300 sunny days, makes Yerevan an incredible city to live in and love.” – Mari Margaryan, QA Analyst at AP

Familiar places, neighbors, and their pets, they together create a feeling that is always good to have close to your sight.” – Milan Novovic, QA Engineer at AP
