About Me

CURRENT MISSION

There's never "too much". There's always "not enough".

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty imaginitive and crazy. I want to travel different places and learn different languages. I'm flexible and I can adjust to anything. Also, even if I meet a person with a difficult personality, I always find a way to make friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Rarely hosting, rarely being hosted. Always up for new acquaintances.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have quite a long romance with Couchsurfing. I've hosted a lot of people and I was a guest at many people's houses. Now I host rather rarely but I'm still open to meeting new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was almost kidnapped on the border of Montenegro and Albania. I may share some thoughts on that if you want to ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied theater studies and then switched to American studies. I used to be in a sports club (rifle shooting but sports, I'm not a fan of NRA and such). I am mad about film. Also, I was raised in an environment of musicians, so, though I'm not a musician myself, all of the aritsts' circles are close to my heart :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, tips, long discussion about everything. Sometimes a couch.
