ABOUT ME
Born and raised in the glorious country of Serbia.
Moved to Toronto, Canada, to study Electrical Engineering at University of Toronto. Recently graduated with Bachelor of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering.
I now work as a Field Applications Engineer for an Irish company in Philadelphia. I love to travel and meet new and exciting people.
PHILOSOPHY
oh this might get hairy... I have so many philosophies that at times the whole world appears to be completely backwards.
Life is a series of memorable moments, and we should strive to have as many of those as possible. And no one can enjoy such moments alone. Therefore we should strive to live life surrounded by many. The easiest way to accomplish this is to practice the art of zen and who-cares.. Anything in life that can be solved shouldnt cause any worries, heart attacks or nervous breakdowns. And neither should the things that cannot be solved.
Hence, I try to relax, and cruise through life. Strive to accomplish as much as I can, and not stress too much over things which are out of my hands.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
So far, I have mostly surfed. I surfed for three weeks during a road trip through California, Nevada and Arizona.
In local community I have participated by meeting with engineers and hobbyists and helping them find answers to some of their issues.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
To this day I strongly believe that CS is the best way to travel! Anyone and everyone should be doing it. Through couchrufing travellers get much more than they can possibly discover in guidebooks, guided tours or hotels. All the CouchSurfers I have met so far have been amazing and interesting people, and it has been an absolute joy travelling, meeting, partying, visiting and couchsurfing with them.
Interests
I've gotten a little rusty but I love doing parkour, playing guitar, drawing and painting..
Whenever possible I travel, anywhere and everywhere.
Im a sucker for gadgets and cant stop myself from constantly coming up with my own. I also love cars, and one day I hope to make a car that will make James Bond's car look like a Prius.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Many would be proud with some of the shameful and embarrasing things ive done, and be ashamed of some of the things ive done :P
To be on the safe side: I've won Serbian rowing nationals when I was 13, and taught rowing in Canada until I was 22. Ive been a member of Mensa (Serbia). My thesis project was a runner-up for project of the year award. I have been nominated for Intern of the Year at AMD.
The most amazing place I have seen is the valley of Drina as seen from the top of mountain Tara. I found the Island of Thassos in Greece to be simply the most utopian place on earh. Venice Beach is also one of those places which cannot be replicated. You have to see it!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share tons of logic puzzles! Although i never got straight A's in school, i can probably help in anything and everything to do with electronics...
