About Me

*** since I’m working in USA most of the year I can’t host as much as I would love to. I have few more weeks to travel/host before going back to work mid July 2024***

Eternal traveler, young nomadic soul, cosmopolitan with experience, sarcastic and honest friend you haven’t meet yet.

Some of the most amazing experiences and people I have in life I can thank to Couchsurfing. I’m low maintenance, independent, flexible, friendly and easy going.

******* CURRENT MISSION *******

I love to travel, meet unique people around the world, this is what makes my heart beats faster. Honestly I don’t know if I ever want to stop traveling. 😉

My wish is to get to know the world country by country. But not just collect locations like trophies but immerse completely in the destination, live the life of locals, share laughs and tears, visit some remote corners, make new friends in most unusual places.

************HOSTING***********

I was born to host, to welcome a fellow traveler with open arms and turn strangers into friends. Even if you don’t have references yet I don’t care, we all have to start from beginning.
Many of my guests/hosts I keep seeing around the world, so with me it’s never goodbye but see you again, someday somewhere.
If you are reading this profile as potential guest looking for a host just breathe, there is no hidden codes, books of rules or funny handshakes. Just be brave enough and send request and I will do what I can to help with hosting.

I love showing Zagreb; my city, my streets, best burger, craft beers, my favorite tree in the park…

******* TRAVEL *******

I was also born to travel, to make temporary homes in strange corners of the world, to come back to same places over and over again and discover new corners, to make new stories and remember old friends I make along the way. Since I travel very unpredictably I don’t look for host in every place I go or I don’t find one. People, the most fascinating aspect of every travel are the most beautiful aspect of traveling. I stopped collecting destinations but started collecting people. 😀
To connect with fellow travelers and nomads, to add some new memories and leave some impact.
Nothing matters to me like your open heart for adventures or welcoming hug on the doorstep.

******* PHILOSOPHY *******

If you breathe you talk. If you talk you ask.
If you ask you think. If you think you search.
If you search you experience.
If you experience you learn.
If you learn you grow. If you grow you wish.
If you wish you find. And if you find you doubt.
If you doubt you question.
If you question you understand and
if you understand you know.
If you know you want to know more.
If you want to know more you are alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had a very positive experience with CS, my house is always open for travelers and I hosted people even before CS started. I’m very independent but I like to meet and enjoy real life experience in the places I visit so that’s why I’m looking for hosts around the world.

Interests

My interests are all over...
interested in: other cultures, traveling, reading, history, science, politics, debate, spending time enjoying nature...

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to read a lot but hard to say what's my preferred reading. I prefer popular psychology, travel journals, sometimes good triller, biographies or SF. I love Terry Pratchett, George Orwell for example.
Music helps to make world a better place so what ever makes me feel good will be on my playlists. Good reggae, rock, pop, etno… Very open minded regards music.
Movies I prefer fantasy, triller, drama, SF or a good comedy or just binge watching good TV show.
Interstellar, Green mile, Inception, George Carlin

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmmm...
Can’t chose only one:
- hosted 53 different people by CS in 30 days.
- spend night watching aurora borealis,
- drinking water from melted glacier in Greenland,
- watching small volcano build a new island
- horse riding and sleeping under stars in the desert
- swimming with dolphins or bathing a baby elephant.
- traveling Transatlantic or transpacific by ship...
- crossing equator with a ship and date line twice
More experiences than I can remember now...

Teach, Learn, Share

******* TEACH *******
Since you are a traveler I can help you with my resources to plan your journeys. Since I managed to visit 53 country so far (stayed in some for few months), have 200 known people I call friends scattered all over the world I can give you some advices or simply try to find cheaper options.

******* LEARN *******
Since I'm Gemini I like to learn and share my knowledge & experience with other people. Always interested in something new, it's hard to feed my curiosity towards new things.
Give me a perspective of life in your city, inside view of your region, teach me something that you know and I would be grateful.

*******SHARE *******
I can share with you my love for the city you decided to visit, some history and legends. I will share my living space with you and you can count on me sharing what I have with you. My guest will always have something to eat, bed or couch, place to wash themselves or clothes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sarcastic experience of Zagreb. A lot of travel stories and advices (both travel and life in general). As a very friendly, flexible and funny person (so they say) I can offer some good times and to know more just refer to my references.
