About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience new cultures and meet new friends

ABOUT ME

I love to make people laugh, play outside, make bonfires on the beach, ride my bike, hit a snow powder day on the hill or pitch a tent. I love meeting new people, and exploring new ideas. I am an avid skier, cyclist and surfer - this year I'd like to travel to Europe again!

PHILOSOPHY

There's so much cool stuff in this world, that we don't have the right to be bored

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoyed surfing/hosting throughout Europe while I lived in Slovenia and Spain for the year.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couchsurfing experience started in Munich Germany during the Oktoberfest, and has been positive ever since. I have couched with a rasta-man in Morocco, went with a couch-friend to a concert in Slovenia, hosted a cool guy traveling around the world, and after getting stuck in Trieste Italy - I was offered by a very kind couchsurfer a ride to my home in Ljubljana! ... It is my hope that the experience will never end
