Overview
About Me
Hi there! I'm an ESL teacher, student of psychology, and an activist with a passion for languages, cultural exchange, and social justice. When I'm not in the classroom or studying, you can often find me exploring new places and meeting people from all walks of life. I believe that every person has a unique story to tell, and I'm always eager to listen and share my own experiences.
Couchsurfing is not tinder
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love the idea of connecting with locals and fellow travelers in a genuine and meaningful way. Couchsurfing offers a fantastic opportunity to experience places through the eyes of the people who live there.
I believe it's not only about cutting down on expenses when it comes to accommodation - but building new friendships and experiences with locals/hosts, immersing with local culture and growing yourself with each new experience you get! 🤗

Music, Movies, and Books
I listen mostly to rock, indie, alt, pop, jazz, blues, rnb, pop - punk/emo..

: I like reading dramas, fiction, self improvement, epic fantasy..
I was more avid reader in my younger age, my attention span is fucked due to my ADHD, but it is what it is.. 🤷🏻♀️
Here is my goodreads account (not used that much lately, but just so you can get the idea )

What I Can Share with Hosts
Honestly, I couldn't really say that I am extremely good at anything. I'm more of a jack of all trades - master of none 🥲, but often times better than master of one.
I'd help make some food, since I do like to experiment with cooking. Though I cannot promise it would be that good.
I could help you out with some DIY projects you might have.
Help you take care of pets or plants (gardening is one of my newest hobbies ).
But what is guaranteed is a good amount of conversations.
If I start feeling comfortable around you - I rarely shut up. I have plenty of stories from my travels and am always eager to hear yours.
I like exchanging experiences, talking about traveling adventures, discussing social and political topics (I'm quite passionate when it comes to talking trash about Serbian politics *disclaimer*).
Positive Vibes: I believe in spreading positivity and kindness wherever I go.
Friendship: I treat my hosts and surfers like old friends, always bringing warmth and respect into every interaction.
I get inspired by meeting new people and believe in the power of human connection. Looking forward to meeting amazing people and creating unforgettable memories through Couchsurfing!
