CURRENT MISSION

To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries

ABOUT ME

When I was younger my father was a truck driver in the USA and traveled all around the US. My grandfather founded a shipping company with 11 ships in it's fleet and traveled around the world by boat. My great-grandfather was an admiral in the Yugoslavian navy before WWII. Then there's me... I choose to be a computer programmer, there's only one problem, programmers rarely travel. I landed a great job a few years ago and decided to quit, sell everything, and travel the world for at least a year. The itch from my father's side of the family was too great to overcome.

PHILOSOPHY

When people are on their death bed they don't regret the things they did, they regret the things they didn't do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I am home, I try to pay-it-forward by offering my condo's second bedroom out to other couch surfers.

If you want to learn things about a computer or just have questions or something you'd like fixed... I can do it. I can also hold some amazing debates even if I believe my side of the debate is wrong.
