I was born in Dubrovnik (I might or might not be a Targaryen, don't ask) to Croatian/Bosnian parents. My family moved to the Netherlands when I was still a toddler. I was raised in Rotterdam where I base myself in between trips and will always keep running away from and returning to till I'm wrinkled and grey.

I spent most of my early twenties travelling around with no plan or clue whatsoever. All travelling is good travelling, but personally I prefer these long stints of unplanned mayhem. I don't do return tickets and itineraries. Suffice it to say I'm lost and confused most of the time, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Unfortunately I'm not in a position where I can host right now, but I would love to in the future when I have my own place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm not on couchsurfing just for free accommodation. I like to hang out with my hosts and actually get to know each other. Ofcourse I don't expect anyone to clear up their schedule for me and guide me around, I can easily entertain and take care of myself, but I do like to at least spend some time together if life permits.

This is why I'm a bit selective in who I send requests to or would accept requests from. It is important to me that we actually have a connection and can get along rather than use each other for a free bed/a positive review. I would rather pay for a hostel than stay with someone that I feel uncomfortable around.

Interests

Proud bookworm, film buff and music freak. I love a lot of different genres and spend most of my free time in the realm of these hobbies.

Other than that I'm interested in too many things to name. In general I just love learning new things and am endlessly fascinated by other people's opinions, philosophies and life stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One??? Who can actually answer this question? Come on Couchsurfing, I have a pretty awesome life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will gladly help you practice any of the languages I speak and teach you how to breakdance.
Ok maybe not that last one, though I can do a mean worm.
But most importantly: enrich your life with lots of good vibes, good conversations and hopefully a laugh or two.
