- making "pain au chocolat" out of pain ... day in and day out. ;)

ABOUT ME

My name is Tamara and I live in a cosy little flat with my 11 year-old Svarun and our cat, Mišo (literally meaning "mousey"). I love soul-deep conversations (aka swimming in the ocean naked at midnight with someone), singing while someone's playing the guitar (especially around a fire), getting lost in nature and mythology. My son is into stats and facts, geography and video games (duhh!).

PHILOSOPHY

Changing as I'm changing. But one thing always remains the same: I make love with each moment that arises. I love being human.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Due to my son's school I can't travel abroad as much as I would want to - so I'm allowing the world to come to me. And if I can help someone while at it - brilliant.

兴趣

I am multi-passionate, but lately the most important one is this:

I am a singer in a band called AMAN! since February. We play sevdalinkas (Bosnian folk music) and gypsy music. I'm in love with this project.

音乐、电影和书籍

Let's not say "favourite", but "last", ok?

Last song I listened to: Uncle John's Band by Grateful Dead.

Last movie I watched: half of La Vitta e Bella (my son was playing around with the symbol of swastika and we needed to have a conversation about WW2, so we started watching La Vitta e Bella; by the time they took them by train, we were bawling and couldn't watch any further and my son was like: "Ok, ok, I get it mom, it was horrible.")

Last book I read: Communion: A female search for love by Bell Hooks.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I went to the Canarias with my 2,5 year-old to spend two months in a tent on the beach with no running water or electricity.

教，学，和分享

Let's see, shall we? This one is always a mystery.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can have a deep conversation and I can sing you a song. If you say yes to the second, you probably won't be able to stop me after song no.1. You have been warned.
