About Me

Hello Everybody! I'm a British born artsy Croatian girl with an Indian name. I have many stories to tell and many adventures to share. I'm a very open minded person that loves meeting new people and I'm hope that by joining the couch surfing community I can learn even more from all the people I will meet.

I am now living in Santiago, after I was travelling and living in South America for 8 months! During that time I went through some of the most incredible experiences and met some of the most amazing people, so of course i had to stay..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet people, I want to get to know the real city you come from- the inbetween, the outside, the inside, where the guiri's don't dare to go! I want to learn about your culture, not what I'm told to see by a tourist book.

I have gained so many experiences from meeting and talking to strangers, it's incredible how much we have to share in life!

Interests

My biggest focus right now is to learn Spanish and Portuguese! I am doing quite well, and I can understand most things and hold conversations. However, I can be a bit shy and I might occasionally end up speaking some Portanol ;)

I love taking pictures of people and talking about art.

I love cooking and baking.

I like to dance!! Salsa, Batchatta, Ceroc and now forró too :)

I played violin for 8 years and I love going to watch live music, especially jazz.

I love extreme sports, I will do anything.

I love languages and accents. Please help me lose my English one!
