ABOUT ME

After a long time of absence I am finally back here :)
I am originally from Prishtina in Kosovo. I live in Zagreb in Croatia. Make my living out of translations and interpretations as well as less frequent magazine texts :).
I am very much interested in history, sociology and communications.
Whenever I can I spend my time standing and taking part in activities for those that need the support to feel equally respected and fairly treated.
Would love to show my cities and among all accommodate whenever possible anyone from any corner of the world hoping that I will learn just a tiny little thing about them and make relations which otherwise would not happen.

PHILOSOPHY

People are all good, don't ever give them a reason or circumstances to believe they have to be different from that...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My idea in participating in the CS community is simple - give and get a place to be and share with people - basically use the modern means of communications to foster the ancient virtue of all civilizations - hospitality.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have often been invited by people to their homes on travels or I have done the same for people who's roads brought them by my places and some of them where definitely beautiful spontaneous connections that have left me with great friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

If I name any of particular movies, songs or books it would not be fair to some other great movies, songs and books I have read (I pulled out a great excuse this time :P).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't think I have done anything to be called amazing but among useful things are:
Working towards building confidence between people. Providing support and advocacy at every level possible, any situation and for anyone.
Organizing music festivals.
Helping people living in the margins of the society.

Teach, Learn, Share

In the Balkans and especially in the range of Dinaride mountains there are several unwritten codes of conduct and one of them is an Albanian traditional code of conduct called a THE KANUN, it is often complicated and chauvinistic but it has a great reference to one custom "a guest is a saint and is the central figure in the house of the one who welcomes her/him (well, back in the old days it would be usually HIM who would travel, luckily times have changed...) Even if the greatest enemy knocks on your door and asks for hospitality you have to provide it for the first three nights and take care of them in the same way as of anyone else".
On this particulat tradition read great book from ISMAIL KADARE called THE BROKEN APRIL.
