Hey friends,

Important update: I'm settling down in my new home. in Cascais. I won't be able to host until the October, when I'm happy to finally come back to hosting.

I'm a yogi, engineer, dancer, and just another person interested in meaningful conversation and quality time spent with others. If you resonate with the things mentioned on my profile, feel free to drop me a message. I will be happy to meet you!

I love to spend time with people, outdoors, and at music events. I'm keen on yoga, music, and spirituality. Professionally, I'm a data engineer at Sweatcoin (It pays to walk!) working remotely while traveling. I'm also a fresh Yoga instructor, so feel free to drop me a message if you are into Yoga or you'd like to try Yoga with me, I'd be happy to guide you through class or we can join somewhere for class together.

Exploring new ways of self-improvement, both physically and mentally, keeps me motivated. I was lucky to be able to practice Yoga, Tantra, Reiki and different spiritual practices with teachers all the way from California to India. Different styles and variations, but the same goal and purpose keep me motivated on that journey. My initial drive to come to Asia was Yoga. I've been studying Yoga in Rishikesh, India, and recently moved from there.

I love to dance, I enjoy ecstatic dance and contact improvisation. I visit ecstatic dance events at every place when I travel. Other dance events are also more than welcome :))

Music is my passion too. I used to host a radio show and I love DJing. My favorite way to enjoy music is to attend music festivals. I love connecting with people with whom I share similar tastes and feel the energy created by the festival's positive crowd.

Things that I explained I usually love to do with new friends and during my travels, so please be free to ask me if you find something interesting above.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I love most about traveling is the opportunity to meet people and other cultures, whether they are locals or travelers with their own unique stories and experiences. The most memorable and valuable thing I take away from every trip is the experience of human connections. I’m here to do it more

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly listening electronic music in general, house music, electro-funk, nu-disco, funk, jazz, and indie. I always tend to reference some fresh music and active bend since I believe that way we can directly support the artist to continue creating good stuff.

Here are a few Serbian (or ex-Yugoslavian) alternative artists that I’m currently listening to Repetitor; KOIKOI; Tebra; Valentino Bošković; Darkwood Dub; Kanda, Kodža i Nebojša.

I appreciate good DJs and have strong memories of some great DJ sets. The best DJ set that I listened to are played by Solomun, Palms Trax, Folamour, Nicky Siano, X-Coast, Seth Troxler, Gramatik, Kristijan Molnar, and Luton.
