About Me

I consider myself a tender, strong-willed, tranquil, sincere, playful, open and wise person.
For me, the warmth that is inside me and inside every person that can be shared is valuable.
From time to time I like to fool around and create fun around myself.
It is important for me to move. I love when my body is active.
I like to learn new information and thus check every time what I already know.
I love art. And with great curiosity and interest I want and am ready to get acquainted with the art and culture of any country.
I find it important to be able to speak different languages, because that way I have a better chance of getting to know more people, more stories, more experiences.
I love dancing very much. It gives me a lot of strength and charge. I pass music through myself and energize.
I'm inspired by rhythm and drums. That's exactly why I crossed the Atlantic to join a group of enthusiasts in Chile, with whom I practiced Brazilian percussion and took part in various carnivals.
I am also inspired by storytellers like Hayao Miyazaki, Ray Bradbury, and Wes Anderson, because they teach us to see the wonder in every day and to view the world through the innocent eyes of a child.
But the main figure for me is a traveler Tomislav Perko, who spoke at a TED Talks, who despite of having not a penny traveled the world relying on his good nature and openness to the world. One day, I want to follow his example.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
