About Me

I live in Zagreb in the winters and in a small town on the coast of Croatia (Primošten) in the summer. That's where I have my jewelry shop. I work there from May-October and try to travel at least a month during the winter.
When I travel I'm interested more in nature and wildlife than in cities, but I enjoy seeing a city when a local can show me all the good spots.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I fell in love with couchsurfing as soon as I tried it. I realized it gives me an insight into the culture of the country that I'm traveling to. I get to meet the locals, hang out with them, go out to the less known places and hear interesting stories from a local's perspective. It's very different from staying in hostels because I feel more at home and instead of meeting a lot of travellers I get to meet the people who's country I'm visiting so the experience feels more genuine.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like my movies to be sci fi or thrillers and my books sci fi/fantasy or popular science.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like languages so I'm passionate about speaking with people from around the world and sharing my experience and knowledge.

Late night wine discussions are welcome. Sharing travelling stories as well! I'm also up for going out for a beer or playing pool!
