  • Why People Go?

    ✈️ Why People Go
    (…and what they hope to find)

    People leave. People arrive.
    They pack up quietly or leave with a shout.
    They go north, south, up, down, sideways —
    From Serbia to Germany.
    From Russia to Denmark.
    From Israel to Egypt and back again (and again).
    Some go with a suitcase. Some with nothing but “ajde” in their throat.

    Why?

    Because movement is human.
    Because standing still can sometimes feel like sinking.
    Because over there — maybe — the grass is greener, the roads smoother, the laws clearer, the winters shorter, the money louder.

    🌍 From Small to Big
    People leave small countries like Serbia, Albania, or Moldova
    for larger ones like Germany, France, or America.

    Why?
    Because large countries have:

    Bigger markets

    More jobs

    More chaos to hide in

    More structure to build in

    More rules, yes — but also more loopholes

    The dream?
    Get in. Get work. Send money back.
    Maybe stay. Maybe build something.
    Maybe disappear in plain sight — a new name, a kiosk, a life.

    🌪️ From Big to Small
    But people also go the other way —
    From Russia to Serbia.
    From China to Hungary.
    From America to Montenegro.
    They go not to escape poverty, but to escape pressure.

    Because small places offer:

    Peace

    Cheap rent

    Slower days

    No one watching

    Space to think

    A booth to sell phone covers and nobody taxes you (yet)

    Sometimes they come from places that had too much:
    Too much control. Too much chaos. Too much everything.

    🕊️ From Holy to Historical and Back
    Some went from Israel to Egypt,
    then to the desert,
    then to Palestine,
    then got picked up by Romans, traded by Greeks,
    and survived by selling fish, philosophy, and prophecy.

    Even sacred people need to hustle.

    💼 So Why Do They Go?
    For better jobs

    For less fear

    For more safety

    For adventure

    For a way to send 200 euros home

    For a chance their kid won’t live paycheck-to-paycheck

    Or simply:

    Because they believe somewhere else might be kinder than here.

    🇷🇸 Is Serbia a Land of Opportunity?
    For some? Yes.
    If you’re arriving from a warzone, Serbia feels like peace.
    If you’re coming from corruption, Serbia might feel like a business school.
    If you’re coming from nothing, a kiosk here is something.

    But for many inside Serbia, the eyes still look outward.
    The visa forms get filled out.
    And dreams of Canada, Austria, or “Amerika” still whisper.

    🦅 Is America a Land of Opportunity?
    Depends on your hustle.
    It’s a land where you can be broke on Monday and have a business card by Friday.
    But it’s also a land where rent eats dreams.
    Where streets are wide but doors are locked.
    Where freedom is vast, but so is loneliness.

    You need guts, Google Maps, and a tolerance for nonsense.

    🌱 So What is Amerbija?
    Now you’re talking.

    Amerbija is a mix.

    A dreamer’s country

    A survivor’s zone

    A land of honey and milk…
    …and also of parking tickets, border forms, and cheap socks sold at flea markets

    It’s wherever people gather, try, fail, try again —
    Sell burek, clean windows, freelance design, or do IT from a barstool.

    Amerbija is the portable country.
    It lives wherever you know how to move smart, earn fair, and keep your dignity.

    And that, my friend, is what this site is about.
