About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn to like Coventry.

ABOUT ME

I have recently finished my studies in Ljubljana, Slovenia and London, UK. I took me many years and during this time I have:
studied,
(journalism, politics, culture, arts, philosophy, media)
traveled,
(across most of Europe)
protested,
(and joined many groups who like to scream at people in charge)
partied,
(at home, in parks, in clubs, in the streets, sitting, standing up, dancing, at night, in the morning, in the afternoon, staring at the ceeling, intoxicated and sober)
done sports,
(two times)
befriended,
(4 people)
worked,
(as an editor of a newspaper, writer, lecturer, workshop organizer, actor, director and programmer).

It is now time to move on with my life. I plan to:
study,
(media and communications)
travel,
(outside of Europe)
protest,
(two times)
party,
(a bit less)
do sports,
(moar)
befriend,
(27 people)
work,
(if I have to).

I like nature and I like cities. I like rocky beaches and mountains in the summer. I like abandoned building sites and houses, hills and parks. Also rooftops.

PHILOSOPHY

No.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My best CS experience was in Berlin. Me and two friends met Kevin, who was couchsurfing at Mateja's cousin's in Prague. Us three ending up in Kevin's flat in Berlin a couple of days later was a pretty random thing to happen, but we enjoyed every bit of it.

Me and my companion get offline hosting requests quite a lot, usually friends from abroad or the countryside, friends of friends etc. Consequently, we're less active on couchsurfing and similar.
