About us

Phoenix & Phoenix is a blog where we give you tips on how to make business travel fun. We are positive that travelling and getting to know new places, people, cuisines, cultures and customs develops our intelligence and spirit and makes us better people. However, this only works if the trip was worth remembering for a lifetime, which is only possible if you had a very good time.

Business trips are often fast and leave just a few hours to spare for leisure. Phoenix & Phoenix will advise you how to spend that spare time the most entertaining way imaginable and turn it into a memory to cherish forever. Instead of sitting alone in your hotel room because you are overworked or going sightseeing, consulting a guide book for landmarks you have seen a thousand times on television, have fun visiting the hidden gems your destination has to offer. You will find stories here about such places and events, drawn from our own personal travelling experience, as well as experience from our friends who write this blog with us.

Be just like us – phoenixes – regenerated and reborn every time you spread your wings and leave your nest.

I have been working as a tech journalist and editor for the past 15-odd years in Croatia, writing for numerous media in South-East Europe and the USA. The nature of my work is such that I have the opportunity to frequently travel to the world's biggest tech trade shows and premiers of gadgets, from where I send my reports and photographs to the newsroom. It sounds fun, but the real fun for me starts when I shut down my laptop and go on a quest for something I have never seen, tasted, touched or felt before.
In my experience:
- The most entertaining city in the world is Hong Kong
- The most entertaining country in the world is Germany
- The best restaurants are in Barcelona
- The best wines are in Grenoble
- The strangest city in the world is Phoenix, Arizona
- The best shopping is in Beijing
- The best airport in the world is in Oslo
- The worst airport in the world is in New York (JFK)

I have been working in journalism and communications for the past 30-odd years, collaborating with all types of media, from newspapers to the Internet. My focus is on social networks and tech culture; therefore, travel is a noted part of my work: various trade shows, congresses, conferences and similar events provide the best introduction to new tech trends, gadgets or their creators. However, in every city I have visited, I was pleased to discover numerous things that tour guides did not warn me of. I am thankful to them because of it.
In my experience:
- The most entertaining city in the world is Las Vegas
- The most entertaining country in the world is The Netherlands
- The best restaurants are in Montreaux
- The best wines are in Momjan
- The strangest city in the world is Phoenix, Arizona
- The best shopping is in Shanghai
- The best airport in the world is in Helsinki
- The worst airport in the world is in Milan.
