About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Remain passionate Traveller in dreams, cool dad in heart and life explorer in reality

ABOUT ME

Open-minded and flexible guy who has been snatched for travelling and meeting new people by living and hitchhiking in Balkans for one year long (okok, I was not just doing that but also volunteering as an EVS volunteer and getting experience in NGO field). Sometimes too serious but mostly seriously lacking seriousness. Trying to be polite, kind, helpful and so on that mostly comes naturally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been hosted some times but recently I've more hosted others and met different people without going anywhere.
It's always nice and exciting to meet new people and contacts can never be too many.

Interests

Travelling, exploring nature and new things, debate and interesting converstions, world affairs, sports, music, movies, books, chilling in cool events and much more.
I do collect money from different countries (so feel free to bring some coins or bills, especially from more distant places).

Music, Movies, and Books

Once I read a book or watch a movie I tend to look forward for new ones, but still some of the ones I liked are 'Yes Man', 'Into the Wild', 'The Art of Travel', 'The Girl with Dragon's Tattoo'.
One book that I got grabbed by - Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment". A really powerful psychological masterpiece.
From music recently the most enjoyables for me seem to be Two Door Cinema Club, Imagine Dragons, The XX and so on. However I prefer variety.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm, maybe this one: a more than 2000km long hitch-hiking trip around Balkans that included sleeping in tent on an abandoned asphalt road next to Dubrovnik (one of the least backpackers friendly city that I've been to).
