I’m an art teacher originally from Serbia, living and working in China at the moment. I’m a passionate traveler who loves exploring authentic cultures and traditions. Always willing to make some new friends and engage in honest and meaningful conversations. I love being lost in a new city or village and navigate through streets without knowing where I’ll end up. I especially enjoy discovering local wet markets, all those nicely displayed veggies and fruits. I’m obsessed with colors and taking photos. Love making friends with stray dogs and cats. And squirrels, cows, buffalos, horses… raccoons, otters , you know, the whole animal kingdom :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and learn from them. Make genuine connections and (at least for short) integrate into local communities.
