Hello! I'm Olivia, a daydreamer and wanderluster living in Belgrade atm, but planning to escape Eastern Europe with my better half, Budimir. I love jazz, trip-hop, long talks and long walks, Corean movies and good company.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

meet new people, make new friends, experience new cultures, exercise languages

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live with my boyfriend, so he'll most probably be around. We live 5 minutes from main train and bus station, 5 minutes from city center (literally just up the hill). Our apartment, although centrally located, is very quiet. It consists of one bedroom, big living room (for our guests), kitchen, hallway and 2 bathrooms. If you're accepted to stay with us, you'll sleep on a big extendable couch in the living room. Of course, you can use the kitchen and bathroom/s, watch TV, hang out with us. My boyfriend works from home, so I will insist that you respect his space during working hours.
I am willing and enthusiastic to show you the magic of Belgrade if my time allows it, share a handcrafted beer in a pub, go for a walk. Keep in mind though, both me and my bf like civilized people (no party people and midnight visitors).
If you request to stay with us, please introduce yourself and tell us why you picked us.
Thank you in advance!
Olivia and Budimir
