11 Questions for... Igor from Happy Interior Blog

My name is Igor Josifovic and I am a home blogger on Happy Interior Blog and co-founder of the green blog community Urban Jungle Bloggers. I commute between Munich and Paris and am something of a digital nomad.

02. What did you want to be when you were little and why?

I wanted to be an archeologist, a new Indiana Jones, so to speak. To this day I have a strong passion and interest in ancient culture and history.

03. What do you like about your work or what makes it special?

I'm both a blogger and a social media manager - both are great fun because it's very varied, fast-paced and creative. I also find it great to be in digital communities and then meet digital friends in 2.0 life at various meetings, conferences and events.

04. ...and what not at all?

Not much fun is the constant lack of time. Working in the digital space means there are no 9-to-5 working hours. Also, I blog in English and am thus in an international community, where time differences also come into play. With that, time management is very important for me and often I feel that 24 hours is just too little.

05. What is your most important work utensil?

My laptop and my smartphone. Definitely :)

06.What is the most beautiful thing about your workplace?

I don't have a specific workplace. This is almost "normal" for me, which is why I often refer to myself as a digital nomad. I can work independent of a workplace, and I do. But when I do work at home, I do it most often on the sofa, because I live very small and don't have an actual home office.

07. Where do you get your ideas? What inspires you?

Daily life and traveling. Especially traveling is very important for me to always come back with new ideas and inspirations and then share them with my readers.

08. What went really wrong last year?

I actually wanted to launch a redesign for the third birthday of my blog last year. But unfortunately I overestimated my time. I guess that didn't work out. But it should work this year. Fingers crossed!

09. What is your next goal? What projects do you have coming up?

I am working together with Judith from JOELIX.com on our Urban Jungle Bloggers project and we want to intensify and grow this. To do this, we will be speaking about the community at international blogger conferences, among other things, but we are also working with well-known, international brands, such as IKEA most recently.

10. How do you manage to be in the wonderful city of Paris so many times a year and what is it about the city that fascinates you so much?

There I have a very big location advantage called relationship. This makes it possible for me to go to Paris very often, because I have a second home there, so to speak. Paris has always fascinated me with its charm, internationality, art and culture. And the French lifestyle is simply top!
