Identity, Stability, Lifestyle: Why FishingBooker’s Diaspora Decided to Stay - Inside FishingBooker

FishingBooker Recruiter Vedrana Gnjatić knows there’s one question she’ll never be able to avoid when she tells people that she relocated from Australia back to the Balkans: “But why?!”


“Serbians who were born and raised here, and haven’t lived elsewhere, automatically know that I’m not ‘one of them,’ even though I speak the language and was raised with plenty of Balkan culture in my household,” she says. “People have reacted in all sorts of ways – from slight confusion to straight-up asking...

Things I Never Thought I’d Learn from Living in Belgrade - Inside FishingBooker

Moving from a small, relatively-unknown town in the middle of England to a small, relatively-unknown country in the middle of Southeast Europe wasn’t something that I ever thought I’d end up doing. I also never thought I’d end up working as a Partner Content Specialist for the world’s largest online platform for booking fishing trips (“the AirBnB of fishing!”, I still often tell my bemused dad). 


Writing for a living was always something I longed to do. However, it just didn’t seem like a pos...

Almost Like Salvation: Why Love Alone Is Not the Cure for Mental Illness

When I was fourteen years old I was miserable and I craved escapism, similar to perhaps almost every other fourteen year old growing up in a landlocked provincial town. I existed in a persistent state of melancholy. My favourite song was 'Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want' by The Smiths, and I listened to it on repeat every day via my old battered Walkman. The Walkman fit perfectly into the pocket of my school blazer so I would listen to the song - perhaps as blunt of an ode to longing...

Mental illness and society - a personal account | Shout Out UK

To live with a mental illness is to experience something so personal and intricate, something so deeply connected to your basic foundation of what it is to be a human being, that it is almost impossible to untangle your own feelings and experiences when discussing or writing about someone else’s. Perhaps that is extremely flawed – after all, it means that whatever I am about to write definitely won’t be neutral or balanced or even necessar...

The war on drugs is killing women | Women's Views on News

Call to confront the prevalence of drugs in the UK in a practical and realistic way.
In July 2013, 15 year old Martha Fernback died after taking half a gram of MDMA powder – more widely known as ecstacy – that was 91 per cent pure.
Her death differs from the thousands of other drug-related deaths that occurred in the same year, because of her mother Anne-Marie Cockburn’s unusual response.
Martha wanted to get high, said Cockburn, not die – but the war on drugs killed her.
And since Martha’s deat...

Elliot Rodger and the Culture of Male Privilege | Shout Out UK

So begins the chilling 140 page manifesto written by Elliot Rodger, the now-infamous 22-year-old responsible for the deaths of seven people, including himself, in the idyllic college town of Isla Vista, California. Rodger chose Isla Vista as the site of his spree because he wanted to strike at what he perceived to be the very heart of his misery – the UCSB sorority Alpha Phi who, he claimed, “represent everything I hate in the female gender”.Elliot Rodger, by all accounts, hated a lot about the...
