Sorry, I'm currently not able to host or meet up

Hi! I am Metka, half-Slovene and half-Dutch. I love traveling and do it as often as possible. I am a bit geeky and love trains, so my Trans-siberian railway trip was one of the highlights so far!

I love reading, talking about politics and the world and I love nature :-) I am very open-minded, super curious (hope you don't mind) and love good conversations. By sharing stories we learn so much from eachother and the world!

Traveling is very addictive, the exciting feeling of seeing new things and experiencing another way of life... I want to experience the culture of the place where I am and talk as much as possible with locals, try the local dishes and just learn from all the wonderful people I meet. I rather 'live' somewhere for a little while than do all the touristy stuff like a checklist. Traveling is about so much more than consuming tourists-sites. :-)

By traveling a lot I reckon we become more humble and appreciate what we have, for the world is not always a fair place. My travellist is long and there is so much to be discovered.

On my future travellist are: Lebanon, Madagascar, Kirgizstan, Japan....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet some locals during my travels. I love learning about all cultures and experience the real way of living somewhere.

Interests

I love learning about other countries and their history and stories of people. Anything related to politics and history has my interest.

I love music, playing guitar and piano, food, philosophy, interesting talks, learning languages, history, traveling, swimming, anything outdoors, hiking, trekking, mountains, biking, (salsa) dancing and so much more :-)
