I grew up in a beat-up town in post-transition Macedonia. In the state of despair that ruled the land - the young people found solace in music and art. Growing up, I was surrounded by people making alternative experimental music - from post-punk, kraut-rock, industrial... post-rock to techno. As the economic and political situation got worse in Macedonia, a lot of the people with interesting new ideas left the country - and there was not much to do in the small beat-up town in post-transition Macedonia.
So in 2013 I decided to leave and make a journey - my purpose was to get to know the movements that inspired me, to learn about alternative ways of living, to meet the people who are making a change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because through CS you dont just visit a place - you see the spirit of it, you hear the stories, you share experiences and for a brief moment you too become a part of the collective drive that moves the place.

Interests

My interests vary from Science and Technology to Musics and Literature, History, Languages, The Eastern cultures, Anthropology, Qi Gong and Yoga, Philosophy, Socialism, Alternative lifestyles, Eco-villages..

Currently I'm trying to learn as much as possible about eco-village communities, permaculture, housing projects and similar - so if anybody has some experience to share or wants to also learn more - feel free to contact me
