Boook, ja sam Ivana, but the majority of people call me Vuki. Positive, crazy biologist from a small village in Croatia, my beloved Cerna. I'm not much of a writing person; I like to talk more, but let's try.

My main source of dopamine and serotonin is traveling. Seeking new adventures and challenges is my fuel. I love to explore new places, especially nature, learn about new cultures, and meet local people and hear their life stories. Also, I love to share my personal experiences and "wisdom". I am always happy to help and share positive energy. 🙃
Food is always a big part of my travels, I eat EVERYTHING, or at least I will give it a try. Plus, I really love to cook, so you can expect to eat some traditional Croatian food.

Don't know what else to say, ask me anything, I love questions.
P.S. The thing I love the most about myself is that I'm left-handed 🫶 and I love to say that I am like water or sand, I always adjust to the shape 😁🤗

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and make new friends. Learn other ways of living. Pick up wisdom from different nationalities and just explore the world differently through the Couchsurfing community.

Interests

I am addicted to walking and I love to cook and experiment with different cuisines.

Life goal - visit more countries than I have years, for now is going great 🙃

• books
• diy
• cooking
• hitchhiking
• nature
• long walks
• sunsets
• everything can be interesting

Music, Movies, and Books

I am like a living jukebox; I listen to everything except trap and minimal techno.
I love to watch movies (horrors are my favorite) and series, but nothing can defeat a good book or anime!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every day is here to do something amazing, and it's defined differently among people
BUT
Here is some cool stuff:
- Camino de Santiago, French way
- Salkantay trek solo
- Chachani peak 6025m, Arequipa, Peru (I'm not a mountaineer)
- solo backpacking and hitchhiking around the world
- skydive, but tandem, not solo, so I'm not sure if it's legit to be on this list 🙈
- created my friend group 🫶 I think this is the most amazing thing I have ever done, I love and am blessed with my friends

Teach, Learn, Share

Everything about Croatia and my general knowledge. I have an interest in many things, so I have a lot of things to share. Especially things that I learned on my journey around the world ☺️, plus I love to learn. I think we are meant to learn all the time and just soak up new skills and information.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything that's mine is yours. It works both ways. 😁
I love to share my stories and experiences. You never know what story will be helpful for someone.
And like I said, I love to cook and I'm a big foodie. Also, I'm always willing to share my time and help in any way if I can.
