Overview
About Me
Oh, well, everbody that knows me, well know that I can't say (or do) anything in short, so this will probably take some time (but all of them say it's worth it, too :D )
So... :)
I'm from Croatia (small country in Europe with so beautiful nature!). My hometown where I live and grew up is Rijeka, city by the sea :) (I really like the sea ).
I'm 23 years old girl currently studying on Faculty of tourism and hospitality management.
First I went to Zagreb to study Spanish and Italian languages. I love languages, especially Roman ones and I fall in love with Spanish as a child while watching telenovelas with my beloved gramma.
As I mentioned already Spanish, I want to tell I am a HUGE fan of everything connected with latin culture: I adore listening to latin music, I love their art, their arhitecture, their fashion, I adore latin dances and mostly of all, their whole lifestyle and perspective.
Mentioning dances, my biggest passion is to dance. Not dance just in a dance hall or gym. Dance to wake up! Dance to have the energy to stay up all night learning for exam for the next morning because I am always late ( like all latinos, haha)! Dance in the clubs! Dance on the sreets! As a lovely Sofia Vergara once said: "My favorite cardio is Latin dancing!" It feels for me that everything that is inside of me I put on the podium and for a second of moment, I am free.
My other big passion is writing. I like to read, I like psychology, human psyche is the most complex and interesting territory and it's never ending to search. For me, it's connected, everything I can't express through talk, I can on my paper. When I write and when I dance , it's like I take all my angels and demons for a walk. And they, surely, need it. :)
I am a big fun of art because it is: complex, imperfect, solely. And that represents everything I love in the people and life. Love every kind of art (fashion, photography, writing, dancing, singing, creating all kind of different things, sculpting, painting, ...). Your life can be work of art, too ;)
I would describe myself as a very communicative, open-minded, easygoing, extremly positive and passionate person whose happiness mostly makes people in life. I am so proud of people I have around me and I love to meet new ones. I think through people I am subconciously always becoming better version of myself. I can say that my friends and family are my life.
I like deep talks; I like small talks, I adore to laugh and to look for beautiful and funny in simplicity. I like to travel (obviously, it is why I am here :) ), to do crazy little things. I like to dress, I have an eye for aesthetics and details. I like classical; I like extravagance. The best things are ones combined.
I love to just lay down outside on the late summer night with someone I love, look at the stars and smile.
I love nights, it's easier for me to stay awake till the early morning then to wake up early. My father says I am like owl- that I open my eyes when night is coming. I like to party. I am fan of hedonism lifestyle.
I think you can gain everything beautiful from this amazing world when you learn how to love yourself.
I belive in kidness of strangers. Ana Frank said: "In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart." I share that opinion with Ana. I believe that laughing and kissing are the best calorie burners. I believe your life can be your fave movie to watch or fave book to read.
I simply believe that if you love a life, life will always find a way to love you back....
Kisses for all of you out there, can't wait to meet you!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am on Couchsurfing because I love to travel, visit other countries, see and learn from many different cultures. I find very interesting to look it from the other side - to feel more local and less tourist. I enjoy meeting people and developing wider perspective on the world looking on it from the eyes of "local" while experiencing unique lifestyles.
