A horrendously direct individual, working on a research project in Trondheim. Originally from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Hercegovina, lived in Norway for most of my life.

At the moment I am living in a small apartment not too far from the centre. I like talking to people and I have a lot of questions, I also find Couchsurfing to be a more enjoyable experience after a few ernest conversations. I am not very picky about food or drinks and love to try new stuff.

I prefer interesting and different people, if you send me a request, try telling me what is special about you and why you are different.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy travelling and backpacking, meeting new people from different countries and experiencing different cultures this way is an absolute privilege and joy. It is these shared experiences and fun times that make couchsurfing worth it. It may not be as comfortable and convenient as a hostel or hotel, but it sure is more fun most of the time. Also it doesn't hurt saving money.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share food and drinks, but would also not mind if guests pitched in on this, as you might notice it is quite expensive in Norway.
