About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travel, have fun, learn and meet people from all over

ABOUT ME

CS has been an extremely positive experience for me since my very first surfing trip (Barcelona, 2008). I was born in a small and beautiful country of Serbia, grew up in USA since high school, now living in NYC after 6 years in LA.

I generally consider myself open minded and easy going, I would love to visit places anywhere and meet people from all backgrounds. I like to hang out with friends, have a nice drink, enjoy outdoor sports, learn about different countries, languages, history, people...I especially love to travel and do quick and spontaneous trips (those are always most fun :-). I tend to do everything at the last minute, but life is much more spontaneous and fun that way also :) And I'd much rather live in a simple urban apartment surrounded by people rather than a mansion outside the city.

If you surf with me, if I have time I'd love to show you around and take you out for a drink. I'm a very busy guy with school and work, but even if I don't have time to hang out with my friends and surfers sometimes, I'll always try to find it!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't stress over things you can't control.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since my first couchsurfing experience in Barcelona, I've been an active member in the Milwaukee group and now LA as well. Hosted as many as 50 surfers since 2008, and surfed myself in Ireland, Spain, Hong Kong, UK, and looking to surf more as soon as I get more vacation! (darn capitalism, lol :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a lot of people and surfed a few times myself. Met many Couchsurfers at local events.
