Ciao, belli! I am a graduate student living in Florence, Italy. I study graphic design by day and cultures and people by night. I play piano, I eat my weight in whatever appeals to my taste buds, I sing (in the shower and otherwise), I love to laugh with old and new friends alike, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE dogs. There are about a million other things I could share about myself, but I'd much rather share those in person.

I'm originally from Serbia but grew up in the United States. I consider myself a citizen of the world and would love nothing more than to see every square centimeter of it before I die.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I moved to Florence for school, I've been trying to travel a lot more because Europe is...Europe. I am, however, on a student's budget, and I believe that a true travel experience would be incomplete without making new friends and immersing oneself into the local culture. From what I've heard, Couchsurfing is a great way to accomplish that without breaking the bank.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I won a piano concerto competition when I was 17 years old and my prize was playing with the Las Vegas Philharmonic orchestra. No words. Really. Once in a lifetime experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will gladly teach you to play the piano, sing, dance, speak Serbian, or make crepes.

I'd like to learn whatever you know that I don't. Bill Nye once wisely said, "Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't."

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences and my humor. I love them both. I haven't done nearly as much traveling as I would like, but I hope that I can change that in the near future, so hopefully, you will want to share your time with ME.
