About Me

Married, father of two girls, living with my family in a small town outside Rijeka, Croatia.
My expertise and passion is in the field of psychology, where I work in sports and business, coaching individuals and teams.
Being self-employed suits my lifestyle because I can have enough time to privately explore life. I spend a lot of time with my family, with friends, in the nature, reading and listening to music.
I am curious and restless by nature so I enjoy new experiences, by myself, with my wife, the whole family, or with friends. At the same time I enjoy having a peace of mind and a quiet place where it is easier to get lost in your thoughts or no thoughts at all.
Riding a motorbike, hiking and playing board games are my current significant hobbies. I am always exploring music and ways to find that perfect moment, an understanding with people and myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

On this platform, I am primarily looking for places to stay while riding a motorbike (alone, with my wife or with a friend). Occasionally, I will travel for different reasons and by other means and possibly use CS. For sure there is more to Couchsurfing than I know and I am willing to explore options.
Especially, it will be interesting showing to the my kids the different ways of living a life through hosting and visiting people with their unique stories.
I am aware I have only scratched the surface of knowing human beings and knowing life, so I am keen to see where will this adventure take me and people around me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am a part of a family I've dreamed about growing up.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are all always learning, always teaching and always sharing. And we all bring our memories, life experiences and touch each other's lives. I hope we can do it in a way that will be aesthetic and that each of us will be able to take something for the future.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A connection. The nature of that connection will take us somewhere. It might be jokes, might be philosophical discussion, or discussing latest social events - whatever means we use, they will take us somewhere.
I will probably offer home cooked meals. Or I will be willing to try some of yours. We bond by the table, eating, talking, getting to know each other.
