About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Become a conference interpreter and speak Croatian fluently: Hajdemo, roll those sleeves up!

ABOUT ME

I'm never bored.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to expect the worst, and hope for the best in this life. So far that's working out pretty well for me. I only dish out what I'd like to get back, and the world seems to treat me pretty well.I feel damn privileged to be on this earth, and I feel like the best part is just beginning...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By surfing and hosting surfers and spreading the good word about this amazing community.

Interests

I like riding a bike. I like sun on my face when it's a little chilly out. I love a good barbecue and my clothes smelling like campfire. Wandering down old "traboules" as well. I am fascinated by languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

Amelie Poulain lights me up every time.I'm also a fan of What Dreams May Come, Aladdin, and The Thomas Crown Affair. I adore Fiona Apple, Jack Johnson, Whitney Houston, Lauryn Hill and The Arcade Fire! Swing music really hits the spot. I will never forget how mesmorized I was when I reached the end of A Tale of Two Cities. The only book I've ever read more than once is The Giver.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing a child being born.
Seeing the international fireworks competition in Montréal.
Passing my final examination in Conference Interpreting.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to sneeze, look up to the light to encourage it.
I would like to know HOW trolls exist. Amazing.
