About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To share positive vibrations

ABOUT ME

I am an open minded and fun loving person. Born in Croatia but have grown up and lived most of my life in Sweden. At times I have also lived abroad, in Paris and South Africa.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others how you want them to treat you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I don't host but I'm open to meeting up over a drink or a coffe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have been hosting about five couch surfers and am looking forward to in the future surf some couches myself. I also participate in and create CS events now and then.

Interests

Music, movies, literature, culture, photography, politics and of course delicious food.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favorite movies are: Donnie Darko, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Lost in Translation.

I love to listen to music and attend concerts. Now and then I used to write reviews for a music web publication here in Sweden. Some favorite bands are: The Strokes, Khruangbin and Maribou State ( Yes; I'm into Indie).

One of the better books I've read is Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. Made me feel like I've lived a life in India, although I have not yet set my foot there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived close to a decade in South Africa which gave me a lot of amazing experiences. Too many good road trips to detail just one here. The beauty of the nature and wildlife is like a fairytale.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I have the ability to make people think outside the box and see the other side of things. This has much to do with my origin of two cultures. In return I am open to add new knowledge and experiences to my life.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, Lesotho, Mozambique, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Réunion, South Africa, Spain, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
