About Me

Last updated: 03/03/2016

UPDATE: Back from travels in the USA, Cayman Islands and Cuba! Thank you so much to everyone involved.
Now guys, let me start hosting! See the "home" section :)

∆ The only thing that is constant is change. *token inspirational quote*

I'm that yoga-Whole Foods-thrift shop-kinda girl. But also that nerdy programmer-I get all your memes-kinda girl (not a gamer, though). I try to stay active and love being outdoors, be it hiking or in the city. I like living a simple life without much stuff, became pretty good at living in the Now, and I'm torn between wanting to get to know soo many cities and wanting to build a more long-term home somewhere.
People say I'm the opposite of a stereotypical "girl" and very uncomplicated, which I both agree with. I prefer honesty over politeness, which is why I sometimes come across rougher than I mean to be; I can have calm and thoughtful moments, but also heat up a lot during controversial discussions, and enjoy good company just as much as being on my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Still kind of a newbie, but I already know that there's no better way to get to know a foreign place than to spend time with locals. You all know that. Plus, I just love meeting new people and I think with Couchsurfing you can get in touch with some of the most interesting personalities.

Music, Movies, and Books

Desperately awaiting the new season of Game Of Thrones, and thrilled that New Girl finally started again, although without Jess it's just not the same...

Latest discoveries: Imagine Dragons, Jet

Not a big reader at all anymore, but I still love libraries and used book stores, just for browsing or collecting some retro textbooks. Also, I'm looking for recommendations for good entry-level books on philosophy and politics. Got any?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Losing my phone in Belgrade and getting it back again (in 2013), AND losing my wallet and getting it back again in L.A. last December. One of these days something really bad HAS to happen to balance that out.

Skinny-dipping at the Malecón in Havana. At 3am in the morning, drunk, with bad weather and not-so-small waves. Not the most intelligent thing I've ever done, but indeed amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I can tell you about: All things computer science, a little about typography/design/photography, a little about baking (bread, for instance), sailing.

What I'd like to know more about: Life, meditation and stuff, gardening/farming, any kind of "alternative" ways of life.. I'm very curious about other people's stories.
