About Me

I listen to a lot of music and play some instruments myself (drums, guitar, starting to get into more exotic percussion lately). Me and my friends are usually jamming at my friends house. I really enjoy making and listening to music.

I'm a Ph. D. student of Physics Education and a researcher at the University of Ljubljana. I believe physics can be made much more interesting and fun than most people think. Unfortunately it has a reputation of being difficult and complicated. I want to change that and I believe I actually can. And humor has a whole lot to do with it. But don't worry, I won't be giving you any physics talk, unless you want it :P

During the day, especially weekdays me and my GF go to work, so we'll have to make some sort of an arrangement with the keys and stuff. I'm sure it will not be a problem :)

Just in case you're interested in the music I listen to, here's my last.fm profile:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Me and my wife host surfers, when we have time. We were also (as a couple and individually) hosted by lovely people. There are more references on my wife Julia's profile, as we live together and host mostly as a couple, but surfers tend to leave references to the host they sent their request to. And Julia gets a lot more requests than I do, I wonder why :) Check her out too:

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I would say I was more often a host than a guest, but it has been a wonderful experience with both. I really enjoy showing Ljubljana to an interested traveler, there is so much to see that is not on the tourist maps. This is also why I like to meet locals, wherever I go, that can show me some cool places. It really is a whole different experience, if someone can show you around or give you some good advice. I hate falling into tourist traps.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Horse chestnut trees are amazing, when they bloom.

Teach, Learn, Share

The exchange of cooking knowledge is always a good idea :) I make really simple and tasty goulash.

Oh, right, I'm omnivorous, but I can totally become vegan for a while, if that is your home policy. I respect everyone's dietary choices.

I can explain why the sky is blue and why the sunset is red :)
