Hey there — I’m Suzana (but you can call me Suzie).
I started this blog because travel changed my life.
At 21, I left Serbia for a Work and Travel summer in the United States. What was supposed to be temporary turned into a life lived between two countries. Nine years later, I’m still navigating airports, time zones, ambition, and nostalgia.
Overpacked Goldie isn’t just about destinations.
It’s about what happens when you leave home — and how you redefine it.
Here, you’ll find:
• Personal stories about moving from Serbia to America
• Honest reflections about living abroad
• Travel guides and experiences
• Thoughts on ambition, independence, and belonging
Travel makes me happy — but growth is what keeps me moving.
If you’ve ever felt torn between two places, two versions of yourself, or two dreams — you’re in the right place.
Let’s explore the in-between together.
