ABOUT ME
I was born in Zagreb, Croatia and I've lived here most of my life. I work as a translator for a Government institution, but I also teach, write travel stories for a few magazines, and, of course, paint. In 2001/2002 I was seriously ill and after that I started appreciating my time on this Earth more than before. As soon as I got better after the therapies, I started traveling, knowing that the time to do the things I want to do might be very limited.
I love art, especially painting and photography. I love people, nature, animals... And I'm addicted to music. I like foreign languages, so I enjoy hosting people who speak the languages that I speak.

PHILOSOPHY
"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe
I was allowed to enter a cage and stroke a panda at a zoo in China.
I did the Camino de Santiago in July 2014. I walked from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela (780 km) in 26 days.
I volunteered in Uganda in 2011 and in Rwanda in 2017.
Lehren, lernen, teilen
I can teach you the languages that I speak and you can teach me the ones that you do. I can also teach you to whistle with your fingers :).
