About Me

I can be a bit shy at first, and need some time to open up, if that happens bear with me. It's easier if you ask questions about things that you want to know, than writing here about myself.

I'd say that I'm pretty curious so I know a little bit about a lot of things, which means we can probably talk about wide horizon of topics. I like to know about people's motives for doing something, cause that's the most interesting thing about humans.
Nature, food, cycling, beer, wine, animals, some bugs, nice people and sea are always amazing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's an interesting mix of meeting amazing people, seeing new places and having a more personal travel experience. And it keeps me sane after moving to a new town and working corporate job, and makes me step out of my comfort zone. Usually it ends up with us spending a few most amazing days together and me crying when people leave the apartment because I can't believe it's over. Okay, maybe not crying, but I've met truly wonderful people through CS whom I was sad to see leave.

Also, since I have an office job with limited days of vacation, being a host is a way of travelling the world.

Interests

Everything about food - cooking, eating and learning about it.

Big fan of spending time in nature, so cycling, hiking, swimming are some of my favourite activities. There's always something to explore and it's another thing that's keeping me sane.

Music, Movies, and Books

Wes Anderson movies are cool, since they are detailed, witty and intelligent, but also surreal stuff or something a bit odd but with substance. Anyway, if its dark and existential, I'm in! TV series too, my all time favourite is Arrested Development.

When it comes to music I absolutely love Bowie. In general, I listen to music non-stop, to a lot of different genres, so we can share thoughts about that too.

Reading is awesome too and will read anything that has some sense and meaning to it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to Iceland and worked on a farm. It was only for three weeks, but it was enough to see what heaven looks like - I'll let you in on a little secret: it smells of fish and ocean!
Got some great memories, some beautiful photographs, met beautiful people, and saw Aurora Borealis. And many many other things, it is a different world. It was a long time wish, and am glad to have done that.
Iceland has unusual culture and unreal nature - I could talk for days about it. But if you want to know more, you have to come here and ask questions!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd just like to share some days together and for you to show me what you like about the place where you live, and how your days look like. And then, you can come to Rovinj and you'll se what's so great about Croatia!

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Macedonia, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, United Kingdom
