About Me

UPDATE: After 10 years living in Zagreb, I'm moving to the island of Ciovo and then travelling. My goal is to settle for a few months in France!

I'm a filmmaker, always in search of a good idea or a shoot. I'm amazed by the universe, nature and animals.

Spending time in nature with my dog is so healing and beautiful and it's one of my favourite things to do. It gives me so much strength.

Some of the activities I do are speleology, climbing, yoga, hiking, etc. I love to cook as well!

My artistic side loves to explore history, art, literature and music... I have been in love with filmmaking since 17 years old and it's been my passion since then.

I also talk openly about mental health! I think it's important to talk about it and destigmatise mental illnesses.

Deep conversations, staying open-minded, and respecting other human beings are important values for me.

So, let's have a nice time and connect!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Long ago (or it feels like), in 2013-2016 I was active on Couchsurfing as a traveller and host. Well, now I'm back, unfortunately with a new profile because I gave the old one to my-ex boyfriend. :)
I guess I feel the need to connect with people again, meet, travel, talk, and explore.

Interests

  • music
  • art
  • films

Music, Movies, and Books

Film directors whose work inspires me: Michael Glawogger, Agnes Varda, Herzog ( “Land Of Silence and Darkness”), Frederick Wisemen, brothers Maysles, Claire Simon (“Recreations”), Vitaliy Manski (“Under the Sun”)...
Sean Baker, Cristian Mungi, Roy Andersson, Andrea Arnold, Leos Carax...
Film directors who are forever inspiration and made influence on me as a film director: Abbas Kiarotsami, Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini, Godard...

And amazing films like Taste of cherry, Women under an influence, Festen, Dancer in the dark, Wings of desire...

I'm always up for the trash horror film.

Books: 1984, Stranger, The Metamorphosis, Lolita, The old men and the sea...

I can't live without music. I explore music daily and I really enjoy musicians like Nils Frahm, Bonobo, Men I trust, Alice wolf, Tame Impala, Fever Ray, Radiohead and some young singers like Billie Elish, Aurora, Lola Young, and others, and of course... complete opposite extreme Joy Division and Nirvana... one of my favourites 🖤
