About Me

Pushing myself beyond the limits and beyond current mindset are important attitudes for me. I am seeing the life as constant development and change which requires movement beyond a comfort zone and ordinary behaves. Finding myself in such process, I am able to enjoy the life as it is - an adventure.
I am employed as a assistant professor of several zoology courses and as an assistant researcher at the University of Novi Sad.

I like to enjoy food, usually flavored one. I consider myself as an adventurous person and my favorite quote is:
"Productive stupidity means being ignorant by choice" (MA Schwartz)

I am happily married with Sara :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's funny ...offers additional possibility to to meet different people...enables travel experience different than an ordinary fashioned tourism

I will let you know whether I am able to offer you place to stay or just hang out a bit in Novi Sad. Particularly it depends on my duties on my work.

Interests

Biology, philosophy, cooking, human relations...
I like to travel and most of it I do through my work. For instance field trips enabled me to reach wild and beautiful parts of Europe (e.g. Peloponnese, Albania).
Regardless of my work, I love being in nature, biking and camping.
