About Me

I grew up in small tourist town of Opatija, Croatia. For the last decade I lived in Zagreb, studying computer science and working as a developer. I'm 29.
I live in Rijeka atm, but only temporary as I'm planning to move to Sweden.

I enjoy hiking and almost any sport that includes a ball, however I may suck at it. When traveling, I enjoy endless walking and random encounters.

You can always drag me into a discussion, especially if related to IT or philosophy (though I should mention, I subscribe to analytic school of thought). You may find that I like sitting on a fence, though I consider it necessity out of intellectual honesty, not a result of indecisive personality (which I might have, coincidentally :D).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a matter of style of travel. Traveling as classical tourist is not really my thing. I like to meet people, get the idea of how it is to live somewhere and have a more immersive experience at the destination.

Up until now I was a host more often than I guest (we hosted through my gf's account), and that has been a great way to bring the world to my doorstep when I didn't have time to go and see the world and it's people by myself.
