I'm Monica, I'm from Croatia, but I've lived in the UK for the last 10 years. I moved to the UK for studying and then I kinda just stayed here.

Bit about me, I'm quite a social person, always surrounded by people, lucky to have my wonderful friends around. But I enjoy and appreciate my alone time too of course, we all need a break sometimes I guess. I'd like to think I'm a chill and laid back type of person, easy to talk to, but also passionate about so many different things that I get a bit too excited sometimes haha. There's so many things I wanna do that sometimes I think there's not enough time for everything. Also, I'm that kind of person if you come to me with an idea/suggestion even if it's a crazy one, I'm likely to say yes! Because why say no?

I love travelling (of course, who doesn't), meeting new people and sharing experiences with each other, that's the best part probably. I just love people! I've met some amazing people on my travels so far, and hoping to form many more friendships. ✨

I'm always down for an adventure! :)

It's hard to introduce yourself like this to be honest, I could go on and on. So here's a fun fact - Random things I like (a bit too much): trees, frogs and hummus. Don't ask why haha 🐸

**Update(15/02/2026)
I've recently moved to Chesterfield with my partner. It took some time to settle here, but now we're looking forward to start hosting people! It's a small town in the Midlands, maybe not the most touristy place. But if you're visiting Sheffield it's not far off (15min on the train), and there's loads of small beautiful villages around (like Bakewell or Matlock) that you can easily get to from here, if you're interested in seeing English countryside. Chesterfield is also very close to Peak District National Park, you can get a bus to certain places, but if we're free we're happy to go for a hike together and show you around a bit.
Feel free to message me with any questions! :)

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I wanna meet like minded people and make friends. I like sharing crazy stories and experiences, we can always learn from one another. If we all help each other along the way, we could build a wonderful travelling community!

Intereses

I'm a big extrovert, I'm always up for hanging out or doing something together. Love music, going to gigs, books, cinema, musicals, I enjoy art too, I have a big obsession with museums! Food and cooking is one my passions, trying local cuisine is my way to get to know another culture. And since I've become vegan, it's been fun to learn new ways to cook certain things and experiment. And I love spending time in nature, going hiking or camping, that's one of my biggest interests at the moment. I enjoy yoga and meditation, trying to do it more often.

Música, películas y libros

My music is taste is all over the place to be honest, I just appreciate any good music. Love going to jazz gigs.

Books, kinda same, interested in many different things, I read a lot, but one of my favourites is probably "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance".

Don't even get me started with movies, big fan, different genres are good in different ways, so I can't choose favourites.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Interrailing around Europe

Done Manaslu circuit trail in Nepal

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I love cooking so I don't mind making food for everyone (be prepared to try some nice vegan food) and hopefully we can hang out together and share some crazy stories :)
