About Me

I'm a phyisiotherapy student from Zagreb. I'm sociable and open-minded, enthusiastic (when I travel at least). Lately I have been finding motivation to move forward by planning trips to places I haven't been yet ). I think there is rarely something that can make you feel as free and vibrant as travelling. As if you take on a whole different persona when you're somewhere new, where people don't know you. At least that's the feeling I get when I travel and discover new places. And of course there is food, new, lovely, food. You can never go wrong with that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and hear about other peoples experiences. Conversations with travelers are the most interesting you can have. I love hearing other people's life stories as well as get to know their culture and countries.
When I stayed in Norway for a month and a half, CS meetings and people I met over CS were the most positive thing I experienced. Everyone gave a lot of effort to make me feel welcome and comfortable, so I can say that the only thing I can do in return is to do the same when people visit Croatia. CS's the real deal!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Every new person that enters your life is somewhat a new experience. Experience=growth. Being stagnant is the worst thing you can do to yourself. Travel, talk, meet people, get out of your comfort zone and see the amazing things around you with a new pespective. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can talk about anything and share my story so I offer my company to anyone that comes to Zagreb and wishes someone to drink beer/coffee with. Feel free to msg me!
The best thing I can bring you as a guest is rakija!
