CURRENT MISSION

Indulge in the fruits of life. They change according to season.

ABOUT ME

My friend would probably think of my proud Yugoslav heritage, my multilingual skills, my trivialities and that I treat my friends and people I know like my family. They might even add that I am well-mannered, patient and understanding (at most times), as well overbearing w/ details and that my thoughts are always somewhere else. I guess no one is perfect.

PHILOSOPHY

Basically, I have seen very malevolent things happen to the people that I cared for and I simply do not wish that to happen to anyone. In the simplest terms, if you scratch my back, I will scratch yours. Human All Too Human!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Slowly increasing. Always great to feel familiar w/ people in other places and appreciate their generosity. Happy to give it back to those like me.

Interests

I separate my time in few sections. Most of my time is dedicated to studies, working and friends. I tend to base some of my time around my sister and my parents as they are my only remaining family in Australia. I look forward to hanging out w/ my friend and new faces, playing basketball, watching films and documentaries, as well design. I admire maps and they always leave a trace on me. The same can be said about architecture and fonts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- NATO Bombing of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from March to June 1999, also known as Moving out of Kosovo and Metohija province
- Spontaneous move from eastern Europe to Australia in late 2002 / early 2003
- Backpacking around Europe and Asia (at separate times)
- High school student exchange in 2006/2007. I left a city of 4.5 million to come to a secluded Bavarian town on the border w/ Thuringen, quite exciting and eye-opening.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Besides the anecdotes, there are my moderate culinary and language traits. Hoping that the hosts would recall me as a kind acquaintance and not as another couchsurfer.
