About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Study economics and politics, be useful to my country :)

ABOUT ME

I am a very enthusiastic tourist. I love traveling and I love reading about faraway places (only to see them eventually). I know a lot about my country and can take you around to many places, if you can find me available :)

PHILOSOPHY

I'm never quite satisfied with anything and live to take any experience to the limit and see and do as much as I can

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm fairly new to CS but love the idea. I've surfed a few times and it was a great experience. I've taken a few CSers around my town and I am now towards setting up my couch space :) If only there was enough time to properly do that what with all these travels :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It all started with a trip in Montenegro thanks to my friends Bojo and Zlaty, who are a bit of a CS angels around here. It was a very positive and fun experience :) I've since then met a lot of friends on most of my travels and it's always been great :)This is my non-CS-but-really-overall-travel-map

Interests

Virtually everything related to history, literature, arts, natural sciences, philosophy, politics, i dunno... i'm kind of a knowledge junkie :D I love doing origami, I read a lot of SF&F and I am particularly interested in cityscape development

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kinds of music, though I have a soft spot for Heavy metal and the likes. I read mostly SFF but a lot of other books that come to my attention too. And a lot of Wikipedia :D Not a great cinema person but love watching movies with friends once in a while.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode an elephant :) Fell in love, i guess that's more amazing than anything

Teach, Learn, Share

My focus is on cultural exchange of any kind. I particularly enjoy talking about customs and traditions, especially if they are crazy and unique. I am a language maniac and chances are I will tire you with language questions :) I love sharing food experiences and I love talking about the way of life in any society of the world. I like variety, thats my thing in life. I have very broad interests and though as a result I easily get distracted by anything that I see, I believe I can provide and enjoy a good conversation in pretty much any topic. I can teach origami, I can teach cooking, and I would kill to learn play the guitar :D
