Hello, I'm Croatian from the little island in the North Adriatic called Krk. After I finished my masters in Geodesy, I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a chef.
After 5 years of working in Michelin starred and Michelin recommended restaurants around Croatia I came back home and became a chef at small family held restaurant.
Currently im on internship in Celler De Can Roca (3* Michelin) in Girona.

In my free time I love meeting new, interesting, positive, open-minded people. I love listening to music, collect vinyls and play electric guitar.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new local people with whom I can talk about food, cooking, music & football :)
