Hello, my name is Branko and I'm a simple and easy going guy originally from Croatia, but currently living in Dublin, Ireland. I enjoy little things in life the most, like cooking a meal and then watching a movie, TV series or something similar while I'm enjoying my dish...

I'm an extremely honest and open person, but in the core, I'm an introvert, INTJ (The Architect) to be more specific. I'm highly independent and when it comes to ladies, I believe in Chivalry as I'm a Gentleman 😊
Music is my thing, actually the only thing that never ever disappointed me. I've played a few instruments (Piano, Guitar, tried some drums too) and have been singing for several years in an "a capella" band 😊 My all time favourite band is Pink Floyd.
I'm also a little OCD when it comes to being clean, neat and getting things in order, but all in all, completely under my control, nothing that would be annoying haha 😂
I like cycling, hiking and almost everything outdoors and in nature. I like animals probably more than people haha.
I also try to stay healthy, occasionally visiting gym if I feel the need.
One of my biggest passions is food and cooking, and always trying out new stuff, experimenting 😁 I'm also a geek and I love everything about science and technology and I'm also into gaming, mostly a PC gamer, but that comes and goes, depending on my life situation.
Amongst many other things, I really enjoy deep meaningful conversations about almost everything, from daily little things to quantum physics, so if you like that too, and you're feeling up to the task, send me a message and maybe our brains turn out to be compatible in the most beautiful way. 😉
I'm prone to overthinking and currently, I know of just a few things that make it easier for me and that's:
Complex music ( Classical or Progressive ), or head scratch/massage that basically turns me into a big cat :-D
