They settled in a small village about ten minutes from the city, bought a house, and began their new life in a place they say completely captivated them. Reflecting on their decision to relocate so far from their home in Australia, they describe it as the best decision they&#8217;ve made in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Kendi told <em>ST<\/em>, their decision to move to Pirot wasn\u2019t entirely random. She has distant relatives in the area and had visited before, but she and her husband were especially enchanted by the peaceful village lifestyle, the stunning nature surrounding Pirot, and the incredible, natural, unprocessed, and healthy food\u2014all of which can be easily found at the local green market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kendi also has a highly unique hobby: making &#8220;memory quilts&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These quilts or mats are intricately stitched with authentic children\u2019s clothing items, starting from newborn onesies. The quilts tell a story of a child\u2019s growth, featuring details such as the child\u2019s name, birth date, and christening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;These quilts have incredible emotional value, and the best part is that I make them as a hobby and purely for my own enjoyment. The first quilt I made was a gift for a friend I met shortly after moving here. She was absolutely thrilled, and that\u2019s how it all started. Right now, I\u2019m working on memory quilts that I plan to donate to children in the pediatric ward of Pirot\u2019s hospital to brighten their upcoming holidays&#8221;,<\/em> Kendi explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fserbiantimes%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02e11mLDBQXxsmx6HD6vnovBUszSPstU6nCUbAdqzwU16AYjS6dRMcVyRHeaSJzxVql&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>She noted that the materials for her unique quilts are mostly sourced locally, primarily from Pirot. For anything she can\u2019t find there, she orders from Belgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kendi says that what fascinates her most about Pirot is the food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Everyone here loves burek, and so do I, although it\u2019s not exactly great for staying in shape&#8221;,<\/em> Kendi says, laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;The food here is amazing\u2014healthy, unprocessed, and fresh. The green market in Pirot is incredible, offering such an abundance of fresh and wholesome produce. It\u2019s truly fascinating. But what stands out even more are the people. Everyone is wonderful, welcoming, and helpful. The neighbors are amazing, always willing to lend a hand. It\u2019s unbelievable<\/em>&#8220;, Kendi shared with <em>ST<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">READ MORE:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/ovo-mesto-je-srce-poezije-indijski-pesnik-posetio-pesnicu-stenu-u-sumadiji-gde-je-uklesano-i-njegovo-ime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201eOVO MESTO JE SRCE POEZIJE\u201c: Indijski pesnik posetio pesni\u010dku stenu u \u0160umadiji gde je upisano i njegovo ime!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/srbija-je-moj-dom-ovde-sam-odlucio-da-zivim-kanadjanin-22-se-sa-porodicom-preselio-u-nasu-zemlju-sada-zive-na-selu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201eSRBIJA JE MOJ DOM, OVDE SAM ODLU\u010cIO DA \u017dIVIM\u201c: Kana\u0111anin (22) se sa porodicom preselio u na\u0161u zemlju!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/grad-je-neverovatan-sokirana-sam-australijska-blogerka-svrstala-beograd-medju-najbolje-destinacije-u-evropi-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201eGRAD JE NEVEROVATAN, \u0160OKIRANA SAM\u201c: Australijska blogerka svrstala Beograd me\u0111u najbolje destinacije u Evropi!
