I now live and work as a freelance visual communication designer and content writer in different cities/countries. 💻 📢 PLEASE DON'T ASK ANYTHING TO JOIN MY TRAVEL: I DON'T WANT TO FIND A TRAVEL MATE. I AM HAPPY TO BE A SOLO TRAVELER! 📢 I believe the meanings of our names affect our lives. My name is Yaprak and it means ‘leaf’. 🍃 Also, middle name Цвета (Cveta), which means flower/blossom.🌺 Maybe that's why I really love anything about nature. I have a complex and mixed immigration background, and I think it plays a big role in shaping who I am today. It was always hard for me to define myself, but well, I'm a paralian and nemophilist. •  Paralian (pəˈrɑːlɪən/ /pəˈralɪən/) 🌊 A person who lives by the sea and lives the sea culture in their character. •  Nemophilist (nɪˈmɒ.fɪ.lɪst/, /nɛˈmɒ.fɪ.lɪst/) 🌿 A person who loves or is fond of forests or forest scenery; a haunter of the woods. I looove animals! Especially cats!🐱 I grew up with a lot of animals on a large farm. 🐮🌿 I have a great interest in cows and their secret lives. My favorite birds are the kingfisher and raven. I like to collect things about these animals. Wherever I'm, I really enjoy spending my time in nature with animals. I will take care of any animal I encounter as long as I have the chance, if it’s a meal or a hug. They deserve everything we have to offer as a species. 🙏🏻 My biggest hobby is collecting many things that are meaningful, beautiful, and unique to me. ✨ Especially like to collect things related to poppy flowers and dandelions. Poppy flowers and dandelions are my favorite plants. They are wild, totally free and you can not buy them with your money. ✨ With all these, I always want to immortalize my memories. That's why I have taken photos and collected stuff for over ten years, but I am still not a good photographer, even if I am a good collector. :) I have a great passion for gastronomy and culinary arts, quality coffee, food history, and sociology. 🍽 I am big fan of Ahsoka Tano.🧡💙 ✈️ MY UNDERSTANDING OF TRAVEL ✈️ ✨ I much prefer the slow-traveling vibe. ✨ I have never been one of those people who competed to see as many countries as possible. 🙅🏼‍♀️ ✨ I prefer to visit cities and countries in detail, get to know their culture in a deep way, learn about their history, and explore the hidden gems of the country. 🏡 HOSTING ME 🏡 • My purpose of using Couchsurfing is to create a lifelong friendship. ✨ I always read every profile carefully before sending requests because I just prefer to meet/stay with people I feel close to me and who have common ground. 💫 • I would like to explore the city with locals. But if you are not available to do it, that’s also no problem.👍🏻 • I don't like being called a ‘digital nomad’, but let's call it that. I work about 3-4 hours a day, but not every day. • I am NOT a party animal and I don’t like to spend my time in nightclubs. I drink alcohol from time to time, but I don’t smoke weed or use chemical drugs. If it sounds boring, you can skip me. • If it is possible that you can give me a key, I prefer this but I definitely follow the all rules. 💌 When you send a message, please write which are my favorite bird and flower. I'm sorry I don't like to reply to messages that I understand you have sent without reading my profile.🙅🏼‍♀️ ✨ I try to live my life according to the Turkish proverb —if everybody would clean the front of their own door; all the streets would be clean. Be true to yourself and share the life. ✨ And lastly, I would like to say, “may the force be with you”, but not “live long and prosper”.

“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.” -Carl Jung I’m curious about people, places, and all the strange ways life connects them. I like to believe that every genuine encounter leaves something behind, whether it is a new perspective, a lesson, a memory or simply a good story. I’m open minded, easygoing, thoughtful, and playful. I can go from making ridiculous jokes to having deep conversations about psychology, life, spirituality or whatever somehow comes up at 2 a.m. Originally from Bosnia, but I moved to Serbia in 2017.

Currently, I'm working as a Software Engineer and I'm using my fully-remote position to combine it with travel. At the moment I'm on my Oceania - USA trip that will probably finish in August when I'll go back home. I'm an adventurous person, I own a few sports bikes, and fast driving is one of my vices, including shooting and all other kinds of adrenaline sports/stuff. Next to that I love being at home, watching movies, reading books and learning are some of my home activities, learning being my favorite and I believe in a method of getting better by 1% every day. FOR HOSTS: I grew up in a big family house with strict parents who built a lot coming from nothing, and I know very well how to value stuff and respect others' house rules and their home. You won't have any worries about me being at your house and you can count on me to help if there's a need for any, split the house duties with you, etc. I'm more of an introverted personality, so I don't like being forced to go around with you to show me stuff every day, I need a bit of personal space and I like my privacy to be respected if I'm being hosted. Having a host that is on my head 90% of the time makes me very uncomfortable. Next to that, please don't try to take pictures of me or with me without asking, I noticed too many CS people take pictures like that, consider that it's very uncomfortable for some people and have some respect. I need to mention this one since it makes me nervous a lot and it seems to be a trend in the Couchsurfing community that nobody talks about. I'm a completely straight male interested in females, and throughout my experience on Couchsurfing, I have experienced a few unpleasant situations involving males. I gladly ask everybody here that are looking for any kind of sexual fulfillment throughout this platform to kindly skip my profile and not offer to host me or show me around. I'm looking to meet only genuine people who use this platform for what it is, cultural exchange and helping fellow travelers. FOR SURFERS: I have a private room to offer when I'm home. I live in the big house in the suburbs which is about 45 minutes of a bus drive to the Belgrade city center. In case I'm free I'll gladly drive you to the city and if you want I can quickly show you around, I'm not a fan of spending too much time with the surfers since my life is already too busy and doing tourist stuff in my city is kinda too boring for me. But I can take you on a motorcycle ride or shooting range, 2 things I do often and can introduce you to. I can host for up to 5 days, and if you're home at the time for food you can always join me and my family.
