About Me

I like learning languages - I started to learn Mandarin Chinese and Japanese few years ago, but since this is just a hobby, I'm not as good as I hoped to be :D Especially at remembering Kanji... There is just too many symbols for everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like sightseeing and discovering new cool places. But what I like even more is discovering how people live in these new cool places :)
So be warned! If I ever meet you, I'll probably annoy you with all the questions about life, universe and everything else :D I mean, about your job, school, problems in your contry, politics, your favourite color, memes and other :)

Interests

I play guitar and blues harp, though I could be a lot better at it. I like going to the concerts and discovering new musicians.

I like biking, trekking, climbing trees and running for a short distance.

I also like Chuck Norris jokes, I can't help it :( :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing at the top of an active volcano!
Okay, I admit, the last eruption was in the 18th century, but still... :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can explain in detail why the sky is usually blue and what happens with colors at sunset, why planes stay up in the air and how can birds land on electrical wires.

What I Can Share with Hosts

In the last few years I've finally learned to cook some simple food. So I can't really prepare authentic Croatian food (I am not even sure if there is such a thing :D ), but I have some perfect cheesecake, chocolate cake and pancake recipes. ^^
