Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To live my life, let others live theirs, and to meet some new people inbetween! Since I've quit my job 3 years ago I've been constantly moving around - SE asia, Austria, Croatia...
ABOUT ME
I constantly seek knew experiences. Currently I live in my hometown Osijek, Croatia where I opened up a student house where I try to expand minds of young people :) - to show them just what is possible and what true life values are.
Last year I got involved in running and triathlon and found it strangely amusing...there are fun places to be found inside your head once you sit down on a bike for 6 hours and just ride!
Love food and love to cook. I definitely enjoy trying out new tastes and new textures in foood. If I host you, you can bet I'll cook for you...If you host me, and want to try something new, I'll cook for you! :)
anyway in general I'm an open person with liberal views on life.
PHILOSOPHY
Live and let live! Do SOMETHING...move, work, dance, do sports, travel, meet, be crazy just a bit, play music, sing (when you are drunk), cook.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
What better place to connect and to meet someone than in your home...or in their home. First hand knowledge of an area you are travelling to, and also just people being people.
Surfers are usually really opened and giving folks, and when you are ready to give, you shall receive :)
Met some really nice people - hosts and surfers. Really not a bad experience yet ;), and I intend to expanding my CS family...
Interests
Lot of things...but my biggest passion is skiing (or snowboarding it really makes no difference). Connection you get when you are deep inside a forest, with white untouched pillows of snow...peace, quiet, and mother earth. It gives you some perspective.
Try to lose things and stuff, and gain experiences!
Oh...and NBA! If you are up for it I can talk for hours! I just love basketball!

Music, Movies, and Books
music - 100% rock'n'roll :) from 50's onwards...but can also enjoy some soft house, and sometimes classical music can really save my soul.
It is getting more, and more difficult to find a great movie. Too much "hollywoodness" in movies... "The man from earth" would be a good example of a great movie for me! Gran Torino by Eastwood is also spot on! Blade runner, Clockwork orange...or if I just want to feel weird than Jodorowsky, lets say Holy Mountain :)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Snorkeled 10m under the surface 50 cm away of 6m manta ray in Komodo national park, Indonesia.
Walked up the mountain 4 hours just to ski down 5 mins in the early morning - feeling is not easy to describe ;) but it is better than sex, and I'm not kidding! :)
Teach, Learn, Share
Well i'm into sports. wintersports to be exact. i can teach someone to ski or board :)
some beginer guitar lessons aswell...
oh..and my wife is a mean cook!!! :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
stories...lots of them!
If you travel, do sports and love food - you'll have a lot of good ones :)
Also if I'm traveling from my hometown - expect me to bring you some sort of food!
