I'm a 22-year-old student of Media Communication at the University of Maribor and also a volunteer at the Board of European Students of Technology. I love travelling and getting immersed in different cultures, both of which I get a chance to experience through my volunteer work. Even though I was born and raised in Croatia, I always felt the urge to live in different countries and connect with people from all over the world and not stay in one place for too long. I've also always had a passion for English and my dream is to work and live in an English-speaking country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see couchsurfing as a great way of exploring the world, meeting new people and cultures on a personal level, instead of only seeing it through the perspectives of tour guides and lifeless sightseeing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music, and I'm not saying that lightly. The Technical skill involved, the emotion conveyed or simply being catchy - all of it works for me. Not a day goes by without me playing music at least in the background. Currently, I'm obsessing the most over the Queens of the Stone Age, but some of my all time favourites are the Arctic Monkeys, anything that has Jack White in it, Nirvana, The Kills, Eminem, The Black Keys and loads more.

Movies and TV shows take up most of my free time. I used to watch basically anything besides romcoms, but in the last couple of years I prefer stuff that I know for sure is high-quality through friends or reviews. I just don't have the time to binge watch everything anymore. Favourites in TV show category include Breaking Bad, Rick and Morty, Game of Thrones, One punch man, Full metal Alchemist, Misfits,Doctor Who, Community, Bojack Horseman, The Walking Dead, Arrested Development, Mr. Robot, Band of Brothers, Spaced, Freaks and Geeks, Firefly.

As for movies, ones that come to mind first are Memento, Trainspotting, anything Simon Pegg is in, Whiplash, Lord of the Rings, Alien, The Departed, The Terminator, The Evil Dead, District 9, anything the Monty Python's did together, Vi är bäst! and many more I can't remember right now.

I've only started reading books seriously again some months ago, but the ones I did read and enjoy so far are The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Hobbit, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The Witcher novels, the Game of Thrones books, World War Z, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to another country to study.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people how to play the guitar and a lot of songs, I don't feel too qualified in any other areas, maybe Media haha. I like learning new languages and discovering new cultures through travelling, I can talk about music, tv shows and movies for hours along with a lot of topics encountered by people "living on the internet".

What I Can Share with Hosts

A cup of delicious tea (there's plenty of choices), a walking tour of Maribor and information about some of the notable places here, where to eat well and go out. I can try to help with anything you'd need while staying at my place.
