About Me

I'm 26 year young guy from Slovenia, and back home I'm currently in the end of my history studies. But recently I started to change some aspects of my life, because I realized I don't want an academical career, or cosy history job in an archive, so that unfolded into searching for the ways that would allow me to do what I feel like doing - that is working with my hands with different materials, but mostly woodwork, and on the other hand I like being dynamic, physical, so that's why I LOVE climbing!
So, in the spirit of changes I decided to do what I was just thinking of before - I moved into my old VW T3 van Gulliver, to try out mobile living with all the joys and hardships that come with it.
Otherwise I'm a person that enjoys social contact, getting to know people, different lifestyles and ideas, but also I need time and place for myself. I like sports in general, but especially climbing (said it twice now:). Of course I like to travel when I feel like it, and I love to have fun in general (as any other human being I hope)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's always best to meet locals while you travel! And because it's nice to travel cheaply :)

Interests

Already described them up there.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really like to read! Right now it's mostly fantasy like J.R.R. Martin or Robin Hobb, of course a lot of novels in between, but also like to go into stuff that Henry Thoreau was writing.

For music definitely 60's and 70's rock blues and folk. But I like to listen to almost anything except rap (at least most of it) and electronic.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If given right ingredients, spices and place, i could make something delicious :) Also i like to show anybody interested in climbing how to do it, and i have my gear with me almost all the time. So if you're into it, in up for a nice climbing day! Last but not least, i would like to share a general love for life and laugh.
