About Me

I would describe myself as curious, easy-going, good-natured and really outgoing and talkative person most of the time. I love new things and new places. I try to focus on the positive instead of the negative and to nurture the good stuff in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined because I was really keen on the idea of meeting locals and staying at their places as one is traveling, even though it frightened me a bit because it's always a bit nerve-wracking to meet with complete strangers.
When I'm traveling, I'm always trying to figure out how people in the places I'm visiting live their lives. Couchsurfing is a perfect way to get a feel for the lifestyle. Not to mention you can meet really, really amazing people this way.

And yeah, I am Croatian, but I currently live in London with the family I'm working for. I would love to meet new people here :)

Interests

Overall my interest is people - as individuals but also as society as a whole. I am fascinated by all the things people do, how they live, what they think... I want to know it and understand it. At the moment, I'm particularly interested in economics, finances and politics. I'm also into media, entrepreneurship, creative industries, psychology, education.... But yeah, it always comes down to understanding people and how they live their lives.

I also simply enjoy company of others. Hanging out, having fun while talking about anything and everything, biking, hiking, cooking, eating, dancing, gaming, watching something together... Makes me happy. :) I enjoy taking walks and especially in new cities I just LOVE to walk around, roam the streets and soak up the atmosphere. That's my favorite way of exploring :)

And concerning traveling... I enjoy it because I feel like while traveling I can leave all of my everyday worries behind and really focus on learning new things about the world and myself... I feel like I'm coming from each trip as a better person.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to dance to pop, r'n'b, trance music, but I also like to headbang to metal :D

I'm not a big movie buff, and I find most movies people find "great" just "good". Heh, I think I'm just overly critical or something? O.o I'm more into documentaries.

I like reading books, but I need to do that more often... I especially love non-fiction because of that feeling I get - it's like talking to someone smart :D

And yeah, I'm a Youtube fiend... Don't get me started on it! xD
