About Me

ABOUT ME

Asking people to describe themselves is probably the worst way to get to know them. Apparently the best way is to go through their trash because garbage doesn't lie. Since you have no access to my trashcan (or at least I hope you don't) I'll have to write down a couple of facts. I studied English Language and Literature at university, I have a wide array of interests and I enjoy learning new things and gaining new skills so it's always good to meet new people in order to expand your horizon.

PHILOSOPHY

Never stop learning! I think that life has no purpose whatsoever so people should use their time here, which is very limited, to do whatever makes them happy (as long as that doesn't mean harming others).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new random people and introducing my country/city/culture to them, as well as learning about their own. Personally, I think that Couchsurfing is not only about free accommodation but also meeting locals and sharing experiences, culture and knowledge with them. That's why I prefer hosting people when I can spare some time to hang out with them and if possible to welcome them with home-cooked Serbian food.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've hosted 45 people from 19 different countries so far.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

By the time I turned 19 I had lived in 4 different countries without changing my place of residence.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about historical sites in Nis and stories behind them, so I can make a decent tourist guide (at least if you consider the fact that I'm free!). If you like hiking or rock climbing, I can take you to mountains near my city. I also have an old cottage on a mountain about 50 km away so if you want to get away from the city maybe we can spend a day there. Or a night, if you're feeling adventurous haha
