About Me

In short: Traveller, mountaineer, designer, eternal life student, BJJ athlete. I love nature, learning about life, other people, cultures, science, religion, sports... I grew my love for travelling through learning new languages but also grew my love for languages through travelling... if that makes sense :D Either way, I like positive people, people with awesome stories and people with good intentions!
Even though I'm 18, I aspired to travel solo as much as possible from the money I saved up or the money I earned through freelancing. Since I couldn't reserve accommodation because I wasn't of age, I would still somehow find a way to travel - whether it was going to language exchanges, visiting my brother or distant relatives or staying in an apartment from my family abroad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I found out about Couchsurfing through a TED talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7vmHGAshi8 I suggest you listen to the talk, it is really inspiring) from Tomislav Perko even before Covid (lets say it was 2018 or 2019). I'm writing this text the day after I turned 18 as I am now eligible to finally make a Couchsurfing account :D I love the idea of staying at someone's place in exchange for a cool story and conversation but I also look forward to hosting someone myself as soon as I get a bigger crib of my own :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have favorites as they change quickly but I really like the 80s music, KDST radio (GTA SA radio :D) and an album I listen to a lot recently is Alegria from Gipsy Kings.
Not a big movies fan but here are some movies I liked and watched recently: The Game, Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption, Scarface...
I read pretty much everything, from design, history, science all the way to finances...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learned French during Covid solely on the Internet and then also went to France 2 times (2021, 2022), staying in French families on a language exchange for 2 weeks.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you about life, history and culture in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Balkans. I can teach you some cool moves from BJJ (even though I'm no master). One thing I would like to learn really is recognizing the stars in the sky :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can adapt pretty easily, help you with chores like cleaning or preparing food. I don't snore as far as I know :D and I would be glad if you were happy to show me stuff in your city maybe or just share some cool (life) stories from the place you come from/ from the place you live in.
