In ancient times, famous Roman generals had a slave to whisper them in the ear: "Memento Mori"-Remember that you are mortal, nowadays we need someone to whisper us: "Memento Vivere" and remind us that we are just humans and not our representation on social networks. Thinking this way, I can say I am a human, not perfect but trying, hard-worker, creative, can be very funny, but also serious. I work as a teacher at High School, (yes I know how to be strict, and I developed detective skills :D, since I work mostly with teenage boys) also I've opened a language institute for children. I wish I could travel more, but my jobs were a priority in the last 3 years.
If you want to know me better, feel free to contact me, and chat about different subjects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to start couchsurfing because I want to meet people from around the world, during my studies in Vienna I had a chance to meet people from different countries, and enjoyed to hear their life stories. For me this is a great way to meet new friends and see places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I touched a snake :D Other amazing things-I will keep for myself, and many others are yet to come.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach my guests how to cook some Serbian dish, also about Serbian customs or culture. I can share my flat, food, and river house in summer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could take them for a sightseeing, if I am free. I would offer a boat ride in summer, or swimming in the river. I am open for going out for dinner or just for a drink, and if they are lucky they will meet my dog, who unfortunately lives with my parents, since I work too much. Dog comes for visits at least twice a week, so if you are allergic, check all with me before you come :D
