Hi I‘m Ana, I‘m 32 years old and currently travelling through South America.

I was born in Germany and grew up there, but both of my parents are from Croatia (actually Bosnia Hercegovina, but that’s too complicated for now). So I’m half German, half Croatian.

Besides traveling I love to meet new people, broaden my horizons, learning new skills. I’m a curious person, open minded and I would say very easy to get along with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling for me means of course to see the beautiful landscapes of a country, the architecture of various cities, learn about the history and so on but mostly to get to know the different cultures and the local people.

It’s a lot of fun and I appreciate to meet other travelers but nothing is comparable to meet local people, get to know their stories and be part of their life, even though it’s just for a short period of time.

I’d like to see a place from a different perspective (not just the touristic one) and that’s why I signed up for couchsurfing and am greatful for every person who decides to host me and wants to share its stories, experiences and a bit of its daily habits with me.

Interests

I love adrenaline, that’s why I enjoy the hight and for example skydiving - nothing makes you feel more alive!

Music, Movies, and Books

- I mostly listen to croatian/balkan music, auch as: Oliver Dragojević, Prljavo Kazalište, Zdravko Čolić, Aleksandra Prijović…

- I prefer good books over movies but in general I watch almost every genre except for horror. And I love christmas movies in November and December.

- As I’m a 90’s kid Harry Potter is for sure one of my favorite books in the fantasy genre.
Other authors: Trudi Canavan (Fantasy), Christopher Paolini (Fantasy), Tess Gerritsen (Thriller), Catherine Shepherd (Thriller)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-

Teach, Learn, Share

- I speak 3 languages fluently (English, German and Croatian) and am relearning Spanish (had it at university).
I would love to learn Turkish and Greek, but of course I appreciate if you can teach me some phrases in other languages as well :)

- I love to dance and I can teach you the basics of some dance styles like Cha Cha Cha, Walzer, Jive, Salsa or traditional dances from Croatia (Kolo)

- I would love to learn to play an instrument
