I have lived, studied and worked around the world, primarily in Bosnia, Croatia,
Slovakia, Germany and Australia. 

Initially my studies were focused on human health, both physical and psychological, as
well as human behavior. My work as a behavior manager and counselor was very enjoyable
and I have continued to do this in my free time. 

However, nowadays I focus most of my time conducting research in the area of
cross-cultural project management and cross-cultural training.
