I don't live in Novi Sad proper, but on a farm across the river, in a tiny village on Fruška Gora mountain. I live there with my wife (though she is not always here). We are an international couple and we speak English at home. In summers, my mom often stays here with us.

If you're interested in exploring Fruška Gora national park, helping around the yard (gardening, construction, fruit picking and other small chores - the work is never done on a farm!), or just chilling and going on hikes - you're welcome to drop by. The house is big, so you'll have a separate room all to yourself. There are no animals on the farm, except for a cat.

If you are staying for more than three nights, you will be expected to help out; the property is big and help is always welcome.

Non-smokers are preferred.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I've been on CS since it was created. I liked it when it was a small, tight-knit community of travel geeks; it was wonderfully easy to meet new people and we were all super enthusiastic and idealistic about the whole concept. It has changed a lot, but you can still find good people here.

Intereses

I grow fruits and vegetables, which nowadays takes up most of my time.

Other than that, I read, watch movies/series, go for an occasional hike, pick mushrooms in the forest, travel a bit here and there.

I wrote several books and shot a couple of documentaries.

When I was younger, I used to be very passionate about hitchhiking, and I've criss-crossed large parts of the planet that way.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

In my life I've been many things: translator, journalist, writer, engineer, programmer, farmer, photographer, teacher and god knows what else. I know a bit about organic farming and gardening in general, growing all sorts of plants, as well as all types of construction (wood, brick, concrete etc). I'm used to working with my hands, and I'm ready to help my hosts with whatever work they might need around the house, yard, garden and so on.

I can play Arabic/Turkish drums. But I haven't touched them in a long time, so take that with a grain of salt.

I might also know a thing or two about writing, storytelling, linguistics, history, geopolitics and whatnot.
