About Me

PLEASE NOTE:
I'm going on exchange to Zagreb so I will not be able to host in Amsterdam for a while

I've always been very interested in the history and culture of the South-Eastern Europe, which has brought me to study the Serbian/Croatian language at university. My second bachelor is History. I'm definitely passionate about languages and history but don't be scared, we can talk about different topics too :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Starting out, I wrote for why I'm on CS: I love hearing stories from different parts of the world. This remains true. Why I've stayed on CS is because these stories keep enriching my life. I admire the openess of the wonderful people I've been lucky to meet so far.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteered both in Amsterdam and abroad.

Visited Transnistria, a 'country' I can't put on the list of places I've been to, as no state recognizes it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can bake Dutch pancakes for you and teach you some basic phrases.
