I've dreamt of moving to Croatia my entire life, literally.
And on June 11 this year, my sister Ana and I are FINALLY
making this a reality
I cant possibly put into words how much this means to me and
my family. It really is a fulfillment of a lifelong dream



To say i will miss TOTAs is the biggest understatement i've EVER made.
I've met so many of you but not nearly enuff. I wont even attempt to mention everyone,
but to you i know best:

RJ: IMO the king of TOTA First TOTA i ever met (am i lucky or what?)
Nothing can say anything negative about you, and no one ever does.
You only deserve the BEST in life, and you WILL get it.

Cuzo: Italiano, no SICILIANO at its best So much in common dood.
Again, everyone loves you bro - true fuckin all-star

Shanny: So much in common regrdless of age. Whoever doesnt know by now that this guy
has one of the biggest hearts - FIND OUT ASAP. Thx for 40 Gerrard bro

LisaLoo: Truly one of the sweetest girls i've ever met. You are the girl
that all guys wish their sisters will turn out like (make sense?)

tatgirl: Nat was also one of the first i met. Like EVERYONE else that
goes to their first TOTA bash, Natalie took me under her wing, hung out with me ALL night
and intro'd me to EVERYONE. Def one of the coolest ppl i've met

dance2thabeat: Classic example of a beautiful girl with a heart even more beautiful....
If only the world was FILLED with girls like you

DQ: Met on the ARMIN forums! True sweetheart with one of the cutest most genuine smiles

girllovinthevibe: You have to know that everyone holds you in such high regard. One of the
most down-2-earth girls i know. The TRUE meaning of cool

magikb: Didnt meet as long ago, but we DEFINITLEY clicked right away. We just share so
many of the same opinions. Soon-2-be fellow Europeans

I only wish i could've got to know all of you even better. But in all
honesty, even if i woulda partied with you all a million times it STILL
wouldnt be nearly enuff ...



To everyone else i met, it was SO my pleasure and i'll still be
seeing all of you on the TOTA boards. And if you're ever in southern Europe, PLEEEEEASE msg me -
i'd LOVE to hear from you.


---------------------------------------------------------------------
LOVE your life....
Only YOU have control of it - don't let yourself down.
Treat everyone with the utmost respect.

Happy for ya dude, you're an example of what we should all be doing in life - following our dreams.

I couldn't imagine just packing up and moving to an entirely different country.

You'll be missed at the parties.

I have not met you yet, but I hope to share a drink with you before you leave!

Best of luck if I don't get the chance to tell you in person!

Ivan you are such an amazing person and the more we chat (even though it hasn't been as long as some of the others) the more we have realized that we do share a lot of the same views, opinions and choices/lifestyles we want for our futures. I am glad that you are following your lifelong dream and I know this time round it will be everything you ever hoped and thought it would be. I will always have you here in my heart with me and not only that but I know that everything we have talked about will give me my encouragement and strength to keep on doing what I am doing and plug away at my goals and dreams in life as well. I will definitely be keeping in touch with you, but as you can tell I am a nighthawk anyhow so the time change really isn't going to make that much of a difference in our conversation
And you had best believe that this soon-2-be fellow Euro girl will come visit you as soon as I get settled in and am able to start travelling around.

I know I will see you before you leave anyhow, I think we said June 10th right? Either way I will be there. I just couldn't let you hop on the plane without saying tata for now. Just remember though, don't drink too much on that plane. It is all about the sleep and waking up to a whole new world ahead of you

Best of luck to you and I will see you on the flipside!
Lots of Love
Jenn

Ivan nooooooo you can't just leave me like that

Might of never met you but I can perfectly relate to that struggle and very very long wait of reaching a destination
you are set on (been there done that and doing it once again!) So in that way I guess your not too unfamiliar.

You made it!

Glad to see you're off doing what you want. I love the feeling you get when you know that change is in the air. My coming to TO was something similar, although not as big a change as moving countries (although I'd do it in a second if it was what I wanted to do).

Was great meeting you those brief times I was out, and then kicking on back at Josh's. If I recall correctly, you owe me a fair few ciggies, but I think I can let it slide this once

Hope all goes well. Savour every moment of it

it was a pleasure meeting you that one time (in the gallery i think?)
maybe we will cross paths one more time before you head out

one of my good friends that used to live her went to school in pittsburg at CMU. i remember him always telling me that he will one day just pack up and move to california. after not talking to him for a few months because of our busy schedules, i saw him on msn one day and suggested that we go for a coffee or something. thats when he told me that he was in california even though he was flat broke and struggling. now he is living in his own place in west los angeles with a good IT job. he is the first person that i know to really follow their dreams and you are now the second.

i wish you all the best, brother!

i just hope that you will still frequent the tota forums.

Ivan,

I am happy and sad at the same time. I am truly glad that you are finally making your dream happen. Over the past 3yrs I have known you, this is what you have wanted....even back to the days on the Armin forum, this is all you have spoken about. Hopefully there will be a big party to send you off

Know you will be missed by many and please remember to keep in touch.

Best of luck and safe travels *HUGS*
