A chill Serbian guy here, in love with coffee at sunrise, craft beer, city life, animals, books and movies that don't make much sense, conversations about finding one's self through different life experiences. My friends like to say I'm always fun to be around and I claim that as one of my key personality traits lol.

Haven't been active on CS in the last few years as I haven't been traveling solo recently, but prior to that I had some great experiences. I'm really independent and never expect to be catered to. I'm super tidy and mindful of other people's lifestyles and habits. Have tons of cool stories to share and I'd like to hear yours too. I'll teach you some cool stuff about the underrated Serbian culture and history (that is if you're interested of course).

Made some terrible decisions in my life, but made some great ones as well. Super liberal, never judgmental. Can be both an introvert and an extrovert, depending on the situation. I never stop at one drink and I'm up for anything!

My favorite things to do when traveling: street food, markets, experiencing local culture, conversations and parties with strangers, and whatever cool stuff I find on Reddit.

Blessed to have loving friends and family around me and loving this life I'm living.

Current philosophy: Normalize getting your shit together in your 30's.
