I moved to the NL in late 2016, and I am still discovering the country and the culture. I was born and raised in Belgrade, Serbia, and I spent almost a decade living in Arizona before moving back to Europe. Some of my favorite moments while living in all of these places happened because of the nice and interesting people I got to meet. Hence the desire to be on CS! :)
Currently I work at the university, so most of my time is spent reading and writing . On the weekends I like going to museums, meeting for coffee/dinner/drinks with friends, going out to live music shows and/or to dance, and going for bike rides when the weather permits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As everyone on CS, I love traveling, and I enjoy hanging out with fellow travelers. I joined the community to have a place to stay and interesting people to grab coffee with during my travels, and to meet people passing through Utrecht.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to roast coffee, fold plastic bags in a really cute and practical way, and words in Serbian/ English/French/ Spanish.

I am a pretty decent cook and I love sharing food and coffee, music & book recommendations, and life stories.
