About Me

I'm an open minded and humble person. And curious - there are countless things that interest me. I especially love science, acoustic folky blues, european and artistic cinema, trekking, good fiction and writing.

But I am happiest when I find myself on the road, travelling with my backpack, with no predetermined route, thinking where to go next and how to get there. I really enjoy trekking, hiking and I prefer small villages over crowded towns.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live and travel with my girlfriend, Karin. When possible, we prefer to camp in our small tent. In bigger cities, though, we count on couchsurfing hosts, who will be of course always welcome at our home in Slovenia.
