I was born and raised in a picturesque baroque city of Vukovar, Croatia, on the blue Danube. At age of 7 moved to Serbia, where I went to school and later studied physics in Belgrade. 2010 I came to Munich for my PhD and eventually I've stayed here. Currently working as a software engineer, but considering possible alternatives to my current occupation, too.

I'm very fond of traveling, learning foreign languages and meeting people with different cultural backgrounds. I like good food, wine, spending time in the nature (surfing, hiking, cycling), hanging out with friends. A nice conversation about psychology, philosophy, languages, history and spiritualism will always make me happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet nice and interesting people, exchange experiences with them or just to hang out.
