Beloved television personality Romina Knežić is embracing a slower pace this summer after months of dynamic work in the news program. She envisions her ideal vacation as an escape from the constant demands of modern life, prioritizing moments of tranquility.
True rest is an exclusion from everything rough, loud, and strenuous. From a life that constantly demands something. Without the need for anyone to say: 'Let's go.' There is something ancient and sacred in the summer... A return to oneself and to conversations that do not rush.
Knežić describes her perfect rest as "floating with outstretched arms on the surface of the sea. The feeling that the gentle waves carry me and that for a moment I belong to nothing but that healing mass of water." She elaborates, "True rest is an exclusion from everything rough, loud, and strenuous. From a life that constantly demands something. Without the need for anyone to say: 'Let's go.' There is something ancient and sacred in the summer... A return to oneself and to conversations that do not rush."
I have no favorite destination that I always return to; I return more to the feeling that a place surprises me.
When it comes to destinations, Knežić remains open to all possibilities, stating, "I have no favorite destination that I always return to; I return more to the feeling that a place surprises me." She values experiences over mileage, recalling her best vacation as one where she woke up before everyone else to swim without the pressure of being late.
The best vacation is not the one with the most kilometers traveled but when I wake up before everyone, go swimming without the feeling that I'm late somewhere.
Knežić acknowledges her multifaceted nature, describing herself as both "wild and quiet," sometimes rushing and other times seeking complete stillness. She views vacation not merely as a word or a few free days, but as "a piece of time that I tailor to my measure." A book is an essential companion for her summer breaks, and she strives to find spaces where the digital world can wait, allowing her to focus on the present moment and peace.
Vacation is not just a word or a few free days. It is a piece of time that I tailor to my measure.
