About Me

CURRENT MISSION

searching and finding out :)

ABOUT ME

I :
- like to walk barefoot
- hate rain
- like long walks
- hate it when it's cold
- like music
- hate minding other people's business
- like being in love
- hate being lonely ( but sometimes looove to be alone; you know the difference between those two 😉 )
- like wind blowing through my hair
- LOVE traveling
- hate doing wrong to others, but sometimes I do...not on purpose
- love when it's sunny
- hate when my feet are cold
- love colors
- hate darkness
- love singing
- adore reading
- adore cats
- am afraid of spiders

hm, enough for now ;)

PHILOSOPHY

1) whatever I do, good or bad, it will come back to me...so I try to be as good as I can ;)

2) everything would be just as it has to be - either that means good or bad...but after some time we realize that even bad things had something good in

3) live today, maybe tomorrow isn't there for all of us

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

EDIT: Unfortunately, pandemic and also sharing the house stopped me from hosting, which I love. I hope soon I will start to host again.

I found out about CS in a long gone 2008. :) and I fell i nlove with the idea!
And I participated mostly by hosting people, trying to be as best host as I can be and talking about CS and being sort of advertiser ;)

About length of stay:

I know that staying one night is sometimes necessary, but I like it more when my guests stay 2-3 days, so that we can get to know each other a bit and have time to exchange thoughts and experiences. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As a host lot more than as a guest. For a town with not much tourists quite enough, I would say.
( And hosting bands who play in Osijek in couchsurfing way, but not by using it, so it's different story ;) )

Everything went great.I felt as I was traveling too, although I stayed at home :)

As a surfer just three experiences, so far. :)
Very nice experiences, I had the best hosts and really looking forward to new travels :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Amelie.- makes me laugh.everytime.
Bridges of Madison county - makes me cry everytime.
Mamma Mia - makes me sing and dance around the room.
Sliding doors - makes me think "what if?"
and,I almost forgot, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" - Holly simply amazes me! :)

Music...love music.never had guts to be in a band myself and always've wanted it.But in autumn 2013 I had TWO :D gigs with a guitarist singing some covers, so I proved to myself I can do it, after all! ;)
rock. blues. metal.some of that pop songs that make you move your hips like a belly dancer ;)
Skunk Anansie, Stone Sour,The Beatles, Iron Maiden, Foo Fighters, AC/DC

Books...hmmm.
love to read.but actually not reading as much as I want to at the time. Sometimes I like light reading and sometimes some of those which shake you and make you think.
November 2013 my friend and I started a book club in Osijek and I'm very proud of it! And the book club is still going on, even with pandemic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing thing I've done - survived through the death of my boyfriend ( I was about to marry ) which shook my world from the ground - and managed to stay farely normal after that

Amazing thing I've seen - the good in people :)

Teach, Learn, Share

share - smile :) and spirit :)
learn - every situation is some kind of learning something, isn't it

teach - the hardest one, uhh

could teach everything I know, but it's not much :(

maybe could teach you how to play piano, for starters :)
