My name is Vera from Croatia currentluy living in Paris.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have experienced and grown from the generosity of others while traveling--it has given me the confidence to make the most of my time in a new place. I find that people can be especially open when traveling, and I find it very refreshing to hear others' stories and experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach people about circus skills that I have acquired. I used to teach people to eat fire on Friday's here. It was my fire eating Fridays.

I was a gymnastics coach for a kinder and an academy gym, and continue to do personal acro/tumbling lessons.

I just got my yoga certification in Guatemala the spring of 13, so perhaps we can have an early morning yoga session? Also! I just got a membership to Seattle's Bouldering Project (INDOOR ROCK CLIMBING) And am learning to boulder! Let me know if you'd like to join me sometime. It's awesome!
