About Me

Born in Belgrade. Good friend, curious, free. Like jokes and a good laugh. Value honesty. Open-minded. Hungry to learn new things, like to share, no superficial stuff. Travelling whenever I get a chance. Love to learn new languages and speak them with amusing, intelligent, cheerful people. I love to explore big and complex cities (especially bike-friendly ones) as much as I love to be in a calm, laid back natural environment. Have travelled to most of European countries. Next goal is to see more of Americas, Asia and Africa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being on the move, meeting people, exploring new. I offered hospitality at my home and was offered the same by many kind people during numerous hitchhiking trips around Europe. Having great conversations on most unexpected subjects, starting friendships with cool new people and discovering great things about their cultures is superfun and invaluable. Keeps you energized. Inspires you to do more.

Interests

Travelling is my soul food. Friends. Contact with people. Sea & mountains. Hiking. City biking. Foreign languages. Cooking (if possible, with naturaly produced ingredients). Good wine, beer, coffee. Music. Live concerts. Movies. Theatre. History. Art. Reading. Architecture. Basketball. Extreme sports.

Teach, Learn, Share

New things in different languages. I can teach you things about music, movies, European culture and history. About basketball.
Learning - I am opened to all new and positive things.
Having good, complex, detailed, innovative conversations is one of the best ways to share.
