About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I left my regular job in the summer of 2015 to start a new life outside the system - on the road and in a tent. I joined my nomad boyfriend and so far we travelled in Spain, France, Portugal and Morocco.

Morocco has been my first close meeting with the world outside Europe. And I loved it. We have travelled all over the country and fell in love with the local people and the beautiful and various nature and culture.

ABOUT ME

I was something like a journalist writing economic and political news about Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Slovenia.

I am now trying to continue writing while travelling since writing is something I enjoy as much as travelling and discovering new worlds, people and ideas.

I also hope that travelling will help me find my way to living according to the principle 'All you need is less'.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I always wanted to do it but did not have a couch. Then my life brought me to my flatmate Maya Schulze, a couchsurfer with great experience, and here is how it all began. Then one day I hosted the first Moroccan guy who climbed the Bulgarian mountains and he encouraged me even more to finally set up an account.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all national music of the countries in the world and I especially love to listen to it live. My all-time favourite band is Pearl Jam and recently, after my trip to Morocco, I became obsessed with Lilison di Kinara and Tinariwen.

As regards to books and movies the list is so big that I just cannot start. I love to read about old-time and old-fashion voyages, astronomy, health and many other topics.

Every time I manage to forget about the little worries and start enjoying the nature, people and myself - it feels amazing.
