About Me

**If you want me to host you, don't forget to read the info under "My Home" tab.**

I am an easy-going, fun-loving and curious guy. I like a lot of things, as you will discover under "My interests".

I would dare to say that I am witty. I am pretty adaptable and I think I am the kind of person that is easy to go along with.

I like to have interesting conversations and I can talk a little bit too much if something really interests me. However I am getting better at shutting up and listening at the right moment. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel and I think meeting new people and making new friends is more important than the destination itself. I think every place has some hidden gems you can't really discover without a help of a local. That is why I love the concept behind CS and I think it's one of the best ways to get to know the local culture of the place you're visiting.

I've had so many awesome CS experiences while travelling. I try to return the favor when I'm in Maribor and show my guests around some nice local spots.

Interests

I like to read and write. I like to watch movies and I like sports.

I especially like to explore and experience new things.

I like history and I like fantasy and I like them mixed together.

I like to laugh and to make others laugh. I also like to listen to a good story or share one.

I like good music and I like good food. I also like good food paired with good music and I don't think I'm the only one.

I like to cook but not by the book.

I like to wander and I like to wonder.

I like meeting interesting people.

I like creativity and imagination.

And finally, I like to find new things to like, as it seems I really like liking stuff. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

The most persisent artists on my music list: Queen, Jack Johnson, Jamiroquai, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Gramatik, Nujabes, Jimi Hendrix. I am always open to recommendations. ;)

Some of my favorite movies: Lord of the Rings trilogy, good history movies, V for Vendetta, City of God, La Vita e Bella, and many more.

My favorite books in no particular order: Flowers for Algernon, Born to Run, LOTR, good fantasy and good history books, novels from Murakami, Abercrombie, and Sanderson, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Siddhartha and all the ones I forgot to mention.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled non-stop for one year with my girlfriend and had many amazing adventures along the way. If I have to pick one it would be swimming with dolphins in the Pacific ocean. It was magical.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have some knowledge on the subjects of marketing and writing, board games, sports (skiing, basketball, tennis, etc.), history, Slovene language (obviously) and probably some other things and I am willing to share it all with you.

I am eager to learn anything that seems interesting to me, so there's no point in making a list, as even I don't know everything that might spark my interest. :) One thing that I will always want to learn are some phrases in your language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories, prepare a meal and try my best to make it a pleasant experience when I'm around.
