CURRENT MISSION

relax and enjoy the ride ...

ABOUT ME

Relaxed, easy going, curious and eager to learn new things. I try not to worry too much about things. I live very basic life, it's my choice, and I do my best to enjoy every moment!
I can be shy and quiet when in bigger groups, or very chatty in smaller groups .. or if you hit the right topic ;)

My passion is travel! I use every free moment to go away! Something is wrong if I'm not planning a trip .. more likely 3 at the same time :)) Can't go too long without traveling, sometimes I just go across town to a neighborhood I've never been to or a town near by.

When I travel it is very important to meet locals, try some local food and drinks (love checking local supermarkets!), get to know their daily routines, traditions and way of life. I usually walk a lot, getting lost in new places, venturing outside of the tourist zone and snapping tons of pictures along the way :))

I'm not into nightlife and partying, especially not when I'm traveling. I prefer daytime activities, and enjoy very much going out for a walk or coffee, being with people, joking and laughing, learning about other cultures, savoring good food, long walks and being outdoors ...

PHILOSOPHY

It takes a small effort to make every moment special!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and I surf :) ... I sometimes attend meetings .. especially if it's outdoors activities or day trips.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really love CSing!
So far had only very positive experiences! I don't have much free time, but I host whenever I can. When I decide to host it's very important that this person has the right CS attitude, that he/she is here to get to know me, Belgrade, Serbia and ex Yugoslavia.

Music, Movies, and Books

-I like animated movies or good adventure films ...
-Any music goes but my fav is rock, the harder the better :) .. on my mp3 you are most likely to find some Spanish rock, pop, flamenco, Spanish guitar or Gypsy music.
-I enjoy reading, especially mystery books, and I'm a big Harry Potter fan! .. because we are all magicians, holding the power (the magic wand) to do whatever we want with our lives!
