Overview
About Me
Hey everyone. I'll be direct. I usually like people. I can talk for countless hours with the people I enjoy otherwise I can appear more reserved and give the impression of an introvert (according to personality tests, I'm somewhere in between an I and and E). Although I work as a designer and illustrator recently I have been re-exploring my own creativity (only for personal pleasure), and when it's done without a purpose other than expression and exploration, it's one of the best feelings you can have.
Riding a scooter in South Eastern Asia gives me a similar feeling.
When I was younger I was obsessed with going to Eastern Asia, but when I finally did, aside from being amazed by the nature, the flavors and the culture, I also learned to admire many things I took for granted back in Europe.
It made me realize that the contrasts are the most valuable things in travels; it's not about doing things that boost your ego (because that quickly becomes boring), it's about changing your perception. I do not idealize countries any longer, I see them more as different kinds of foods, that can provide different things to your body/mind. Some may look amazing but aren't nutritious, some are simple in flavor but provide you what you need, some are slightly toxic. Still, they affect different people in different ways.
There's a good chance that we'd enjoy each other's company if you're an open-minded, curious, perhaps creative person (unless you're the kind of creative person who invests too much in appearing interesting), but still somehow down to earth.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When you're travelling it allows you to experience more directly the place you're visiting.
When you're a host, it's a chance to meet interesting people, break from your routine, perhaps gain new friendships.
I hosted several people in Belgrade and I have been hosted in Croatia and in Czech Republic. all of my experiences have been very positive
Interests
I feel like the biggest discovery is the inner one, so even if I visit places and meet new people I feel like what's happening within me in those moments is the only real thing, since our mind is a reflection of our reality.
My interests are psychology, dreams, languages, art, travelling, sports, making and listening to music, and many others.
