CURRENT MISSION

Getting away from the beaten path.

ABOUT ME

I'm a twenty-three year old writer currently studying (and working) at Oxford. I was born in Sarajevo, but grew up in Australia, so I've got experiences from both sides of the world.

In the future I plan to just drop all responsibilities and live my life away in a yacht or a van, travelling from one place to the other. I find it hard to be serious (spontaneity and being continuously on the move is key), but can do so if absolutely forced to.

PHILOSOPHY

That everything really does occur for an intended reason (a mantra that I kept on repeating to myself as I lost of trail of personal belongings on a recent backpacking trip).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've taken a break from couch surfing these last two years as I entered the corporate world, but have decided that it was time for a change!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only surfed once, and it was the most amazing experience (thank you Dasha and Dennis!). Because of this, I will always remain faithful to this project.

Interests
