About Me

I'm a 21-year-old student of engineering in Leuven, Belgium. I have lived most of my life in Crotia and moved to Belgium four years ago.
About my personality and points of interest, I am what you'd call an extroverted nerd (if something like that is possible :D ). I love meeting and talking to all kinds of people about...well, about anything really, I'm quite flexible when it comes to talking topics.
I don't like people getting angry over small things and when traffic signs are hidden in the bushes (Belgium I'm talking to you).
Anyhow, that's more or less it about me and to hear the rest you'll have to go grab a beer with me :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well for starters why the hell not? Meeting new interesting people, travelling simple and cheap and discovering the world. What's there not to like? I've only used CS twice until now and in both cases it was quite amazing. Staying at someone´s place and seeing the city guided by locals is definetely an amazing experience :D

MOVIES

Some of my favorite directors are Stanley Kubrick, Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan. Some of my favorite movies:
Inception
2001:A Space Odyssey
12 Angry Men
Witness for prosecution
Star Wars

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did a four weeks hitchhiking trip around Europe with a friend.

Teach, Learn, Share

Being a nerd I am proficient in solving Rubik's Cube and various similar puzzles I always love to share the knowledge so that other people can also look really smart :D (just for information average learning time is about 30 min :) ). Except that I can try to enlighten you in the ways of Croatian of Belgian culture and give you some, in my humble opinion, great movie recommendations :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A Beer. A smile. A new friend.
