Overview
About Me
Easy-going jack of all trades who likes to keep it simple, has a lot of energy and not enough time to catch up with everything that's on my mind. Architect by profession, freelance witch by heart and explorer by nature. I love to go with the flow and being spontaneous is one of my biggest virtues and vices at the same time. Others would often describe me as naive, but I'd rather say I just believe in humanity. Feeling familiar with strangers from all around the world is one of the warmest feelings. My philosophy is to treat others how you want to be treated.
Born in Boston, USA and grew up in Belgrade, Serbia, as a middle child surrounded by brothers, sisters and animals.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The best and most unique trips I ever had were those where I stayed at a friends' house. There is no hotel that can greet a traveler better than a local, and no house that can make you feel like home better than someone's real home.

Music, Movies, and Books
Hip-hop, trap, RnB, funk, reggae, techno and trance music is what I listen on a daily basis, but I am pretty much open to any kind of music, depending on my mood. As for movies, I like documentaries, surreal fiction, thrillers and comedies. My favorite book is 'One Hundred Years of Solitude'. Movies rarely make me cry, but I can cry like a baby while reading a book.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Climbed 5000m at the peak of a southernmost glacier in the Northern Hemisphere in China.
Watched sunrise and sunset in the same day on the rooftop of a Hindu temple in India.
Studied for 6 years and graduated, considering my short attention span.
Moved to another continent to get over a breakup (not sure if this is good or bad, but it's definitely amazing).
Drove to Italy for more than 1000km at once to pick up my dad and bring him home.
Stayed alive despite all crazy situations I found myself in.
