.....and again and again...
I PREFER INDEPENDENT TRAVELERS.
I AM HOSTING CS MEMBERS ONLY & NOT PEOPLE WITHOUT REFERENCES.
FIRST OF ALL REAL HARDCORE TRAVELERS, HITCHHIKERS, VAGABONDS, BLACKRIDERS, EXPLORERS, INSTEAD OF MAINSTREAM TOURISTS.
WE CAN COOK AT MY PLACE, NO NEED TO EAT OUTDOOR
READ MY HOME INFO (ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONS!)
THERE IS NO HIDDEN SECRET WORDS / SO DONT BOTHER LOSING YOUR TIME TO FIND IT.
FREE MINDED PEOPLE WILL HAVE BETER CHANCE TO BE ACCEPTED.
NO NEED TO TELL ME YOU ARE OPEN MINDED (ITS CLICHE).
THIS IS NOT HOSTEL
ITS LIVING ORGANISM
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING BROKEN/DIRTY..REPAIR IT/CLEAN IT
HERE ISN'T A GUESTS/HOSTS POLICY .. WE ARE EQUAL .. WE SHARE WHAT WE GOT.
1 PERSON IS ENOUGH.
1 DAY IS NOT POSSIBLE.
IF YOU SURF ONLY,AND HARDLY EVER HOST, DON'T BOTHER SENDING REQUEST.
THANK'S FOR UNDERSTANDING

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When you are traveling, meeting locals is one of the best things.
So I like to meet people ,exchange stories, cook ,explor for a hidden gems in a town , share rare movies and give in my view on tips for travel.

I am an COUCHSURFING COOK, I really enjoy cooking for my guests, and I would be more then happy to
cook for my hosts. I can teach you how to prepare some South-East Asian dishes, and I would be also grateful to expand my cooking knowledge and learn some new food preparation techniques from place where you live.
However, I could teach you Serbian cuisine as well.

Of course, first of all, I would like to be helpful to the people, to offer them accomodation,and show them around
