CURRENT MISSION

To find out what I enjoy to do and do it..to find my inner peace ;)

ABOUT ME

Since in the last few years my life has completely changed the direction, I decided to update my profile a bit as well, finally :) So. I come from Slovenia, a really small country under the Alps (Between Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia...just as many people mistake it for Slovakia :)). I did my bachelors in Fine Art in the UK, and then decided I don't really want to sell my art so changed the direction altogether..now I am finishing masters in Cognitive science. After some years of creative abstinence, I am getting back to like doing art again now;
I am very interested in meditation and mindfulness - both from practical (personal) and also scientific point of view. I also like photographing, writing, travelling, doing nothing sometimes...

I am initially restless, and despite I am quite often longing for some peace, I just somehow always find myself wandering around..

Most of the time, I am thinking and observing. It sounds quite common, but I probably think way too-much, as I can easily sit somewhere for hours, in company or alone, and kind of just soak in the atmosphere¦so I can appear to be a bit uncommunicative, but I am not, really :) I enjoy listening to people, as I always find out, that each person has an incredibly individual point of view¦ and as I believe I am still on a way to self-discovery, I am glad to learn and take in the wisdoms the world has to offer..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed quite a few times: in Prague, London, Germany, Australia and Gotland, and I loved every single bit of it..It's just such a great idea. I hope one day I'll have my own place so I can return the favour!
I've also randomly met lots of people that just turned out to be couchsurfers:)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: My playlist is very diverse..everything from rock, old rock, some classic music, jazz, reggae..

I love to read, so the list of my favourite books would be way too long..so just a few recent ones: Master and Margarita (Bulgakov), Initiation (Elizabeth Haich), Psychopath Test (Jon Ronson), Siddharta (Hesse), New Earth (Eckhart Tolle), Runaway Jury (John Grisham),etc.

Movies: Lord of the ring series, The Fall, Three idiots, whatever I'm in the mood for, really, as long as it's not overly cheesy. And I don't really like horrors I suppose..

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are interested in meditation, I can probably teach you some techniques or tell you about the scientific research behind it :D..I also love experimenting in the kitchen, so I can show you how to cook some unusual stuff..at the moment I am eating mostly vegan, an know how to make some really good raw cakes (approved by my non-vegan sisters).

At the moment I am trying to learn Italian so any tips on that are very welcomed :)..but I think in general every new skill is a valuable one, you never know when it might come in handy.
