About Me

Appreciating every day! Because we have the opportunity to live and to be here!

I was growing up in small town called Slovenj Gradec, pretty close Austrian boarder. Right before Alps and high moutnains starts to grow. I was studying graphic design in Ljubljana, one of the loveliest cities in the world :) Living in small country as Slovenia I wanted to explored the world since I was a child. I was living in Berlin for a year, enjoying the city and made a great friendships. Currently I am living in London where I got job in the best studio. Surrounded between designing letters and being creative. I take every opportunity therer is for me to travel around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is the best way to meet new people, get to know the city or the place where you are staying/traveling from other-local point of view. I like that I can be in the contact with locals straight away and get to know the city from sweat recommended corners.
Couchsurfing is the best thing that happen to travelers.

Interests

My head is full of different, crazy things which I want to do in my life.

Since I am spending third of my day in front of computer I started to realize how I miss nature, especially mountains from my small Slovenian village. So I am trying to spend my workfree days away from computer, outside in nature. I also appreciate being alone, having time for myself, doing yoga, run or hand craft-somehow dirty my hands with ink.

MY latest interest is designing non-Latin scripts, specially loving Arabic letters.

Teach, Learn, Share

http://aljaherlah.com/ this is my portfolio

I can teach you some basics of calligraphy and lettering or just simply drawing nice letters :) I used to work as photographer so in case you would like to expand you photography knowledge or upgrade Photoshop usage I am happy to help.

I really like to cook and bake so I am happy to be creative in your kitchen.

I used to train contemporary dance which was base for me to start practacing yoga. I am falling in love with yoga every day. If you would like some kicks from your sofa, I can do it and show you how to practice on your mat.
