Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I never hosted anyone so far, since I lived in a shared room in a dorm .
EDIT: Now I am still living in a dorm but I have my own room with bathroom so I am looking forward to finally hosting some more travelers! :)
And as a guest I was always welcomed as a friend I would say, and it made my love for people bigger than ever, no matter how cheesy this sounds :D
Interests
*Please, Couchsurfing is NOT Tinder!*
I like talking in general :P Whatever is on my mind at that moment I share with people I'm surrounded with. I am ofcourse interested in chemistry but there are so many things that fullfill me lately even more. Mostly people and traveling! But I try to manage my time so that I can succeed in all of them :D
- culture
- theater
- cooking
- politics
- movies
- traveling
- music
- chemistry
- psychology
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies? Two words: Quentin tarantino. I love him and his movies above all. But I also LOVE Martin Scorsese, David Fincher and Guy Ritchie... I am also a big fan of European movies, especially French, Spanish, German and Czech, because of their rawness in comparison to Hollywood movies.
Music? I mainly listen to music from the last century. Good jazz, blues, rock, pop from the 80's are my favoruite. But ofcourse I have my little modern sins :D
I'm a bit sad that I'm not reading many books since I started with my studies, except for the ones I read for my exams. But, when I find some time for reading, it's mostly about philosophical or psychological topics. (nothing too deep :P)
*edit* Now I am reading a lot more and my favourite book is The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In Croatia, I was teaching Roma children science subjects and I volunteerd with refugees. That was one of the most eye opening experiences I had during my studies!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you some Croatian words and expressions which you can use all around Balkan. I hope to learn more about you, your culture, your life and inspirations.
I have realised that lately I don't like to be too "touristy" when traveling. I am not that interested in museums as much as I am in lives of the locals, and especially their food :D
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my stories with you if you are willing to hear them. Also, I consider myself to be a very good cook! So you can use me for that as well :)
