Overview
About Me
I grew up in Zagreb, Croatia, but I’ve always had one foot out the door, curious about what’s beyond the next train ride. Over the years, that curiosity has taken me to Greece for two months of European Solidarity Corps volunteering on a festival, Bulgaria for a handful of Erasmus+ adventures, and also Luxembourg. And as of October 2025, I am in Ljubljana for an exchange semester.
My professional life is just as colourful. I’ve worked in a cozy bookstore, as a social media manager, a copywriter, and in other creative roles I could get my hands on. I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and am currently working on my master’s in Digital Linguistics.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe that the best way to experience the country is to spend time with people. And that is exactly what I am trying to do here!

What I Can Share with Hosts
I am the type of person who will happily spend a whole afternoon exploring a secondhand bookshop, chatting with strangers, or just people-watching. Also, I’m more of a “sit down and create” type than a hiking-and-climbing type (fun fact, I am scared of heights), so you’ll usually find me painting, journaling, curating playlists, or having long talks over coffee. I love meeting new people, but I’m just as comfortable working quietly and independently when needed.
Btw I have been told that I can make a nice meal more than once, so I am more than happy to try and put something together for us. :)
