About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live forever. So far, so good!

ABOUT ME

I like to go out of my way for the search of random acts of kindness and when I'm not walking on water, I fly through the air with the greatest of ease.

PHILOSOPHY

Never settle with words what you can accomplish with a flame thrower.

Don't take life too seriously, you'll never escape it alive anyway.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can surf, host or show people around. Celje is not such a popular destination in Slovenia, I guess it's too far from Ljubljana or Bled for many to consider it, even with the good connections ...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far mostly as a "tour guide", but all positive. I did finally surf last summer as well, and it was an awesome experience.

Interests

My interests include long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, poetry, loud music, romantic movies, bedroom eyes, pillow talks, heavy drinking, poking dead things with a stick and meaningful friendships.

Music, Movies, and Books

I rarely have the time for a movie nowadays, but I like to watch pretty much any genre, as long as they're good. I still prefer classics, but newer movies with compelling stories can be just as good. Lately though, I've taken to some TV series, like Treme (!!!), Boardwalk Empire, Castle, Community ...

Music is one of the things that makes life worth living. The best is when I can hear it being played live, and that's why I am a bit of a concert freak. Seen a lot of great bands of all genres. My favorites are classic rock, blues, jazz etc, but there are good examples of most kinds of music.

As for books, I've only lately been catching up on things I like to read instead of reading things I had to for studies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen The Rolling Stones two times, and once it cost me the entire summer holiday! :) But it was still totally worth it.

The caves in Slovenian karst are a pretty damn amazing sight.

New year's even in Prague one year, with such amazing coincidences it's incredible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Slovenian, but it is a long process.
