Hi all! I’m Iva - an Aussie, born in Macedonia and moving to the UK soon for work and travel. I’m very lucky to have grown up in Manly on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

I am a veterinarian and worked for the past 3 years in a small country town called Yass with with all sorts of domestic, farm and native animals.

Things I enjoy in no particular order: snorkelling, playing and watching sport, art galleries, gelato, markets, drinking with friends, music festivals, costumes, coffee, petting all the dogs and cats, hiking, red red wine, sketching, spending my whole day at the beach, getting lost in new cities, pizza.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m keen to meet new people and all the nooks and crannies of a new area - what better way to do this than with a local!
