Overview
About Me
In 2013, my life changed, cause I finally find the courage to travel on my own. Since then I've visited about 20 countries and some of my travel dreams came true. This year, the biggest travel challenge is in front of me: traveling 5 weeks through USA on my own. Beside of traveling, I'm also on the path of figuring out what is my mission here, what are my abilities and how to serve the world in playful way.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Especially to have a direct experience of local culture from local people. To have a first-hand information on what's like to live there, what locals love and what are main issues in the area.
Interests
- TRAVELING - I love visiting places with special energy, like mountain peaks, canyons, old castles, cathedrals, places with big old trees, old growth forests. I also like old cities and villages, big cities with skyscrapers, parks. I love any traveling method, but because I'm in love with driving a car, I enjoy road tripping the most.
- SPORTS - badminton, cycling, skiing, cross-country skiing, mountain hiking
- SELF-DEVELOPMENT - I'm excited about finding my life purpose, discovering my hidden abilities. To help myself in this process I do yoga, study old tradional spiritual teachings or read present articles about more conscious attitude to life. I'm also starting to read about aliens and their visitings in ancient times.

Music, Movies, and Books
- MUSIC - I can almost listen to any music. From electronic music I love ambient, deep space and uplifting trance the most, from rock music: post-rock, psychedelic rock, hippie era music, I have no problem with jazz or blues and I'm also fan of classical music, I love piano, violin and acoustic quitar sounds. I don't like most of pop music, heavy metal and brass music.
- MOVIES - I like films that have deeper message for viewers, bring attention to world issues which are less known, remind us, that people are good and do amazing things or let us remember that life is bigger than we thing... My favourite actors are DiCaprio, Jim Carrey, Tom Hanks, Ethan Hawke, then Natalie Portman and Alicia Vikander.
- BOOKS - I don't read too much, but when I do I like books about self-development. Books containing combination of psychology and metaphysics are my favourite.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Agreed to hitchhike through eastern Europe with my friend. This event has started my intense traveling years. Before that I had a few experience with traveling on my own. I was scared, but very excited to try hitchhiking, because I love the feeling of unknown adventure and discovering new places by chance. Our goal was Serbia, about 1000 km (620 miles) from starting point and we did it surprisingly easy, so we continued and spent week and a half hitchhiking through 7 countries, making almost 3000 km (1860 miles).
What I Can Share with Hosts
Because of my interest in self-development I like philosophizing and asking for opinions on different topics. I can share lot of experience in psychotherapy, in which I'm very insterested. I like to converse about harder topics: today issues of the world, third world problems, socioeconomic situation, what's the point of everything etc. Beside that I love to share traveling experience or just chitchat about something.
