About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to figure out the world, the universe, and the secret to a perfect cup of coffee.

ABOUT ME

I am a simple man with simple interests. I like a good plate of food, a soft bed to sleep on, and a good book to read in the afternoon. I also talk a lot. I guess it's a professional deformation. I also enjoy going out every once in a while and dancing my legs off. Unless I'm already wearing my comfy pants. Then I'm only good for sleeping.

PHILOSOPHY

I think everyone should just get along. We are all trying to get some sense out of this all. I have my personal set of convictions, which often forces me to question them. I don't think I have all the answers, but damned if I don't try to get at least some of them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I can't really host anyone, I live in a rented apartment and my landlords live right next to me. But I am available for coffee, and I can give advice to fellow travelers, whether about Budapest or about the other places I've visited.

Interests

Traveling, museums, books, cartoons, having deep conversations and, above all, coffee.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess there isn't just one that tops them all... I have hiked on the Great Wall of China. I made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. I have seen the Pope riding a boat. I have seen Florence covered in snow. I stood on the shores of Iceland and looked over the edge of the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot of history. And I like discussing philosophy, religion, politics and other casual subjects. Also, I do translations from English into Croatian and vice versa.
