CURRENT MISSION

Smile and the world will smile with you...

ABOUT ME

As you can see I currently live in Banja Luka. I am a youth worker and I love my job! :)When traveling I love to meet local people and explore places that are not so popular among tourists.

PHILOSOPHY

Chai time is important.
You must be the change you want to see in the world. (Gandhi)
Actively involved in any community I happen to live in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I do not have my own place yet (hopefully soon) so I can't host people. But whenever I am in town I am more than happy to show you around Banja Luka and grab a cup of coffee and chat :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few people when I lived in Germany and the USA. Still didn't get a chance to host anyone in BiH...

Interests

I am really passionate about international development. Therefore, my interests in indigenous cultures and knowledge are closely related to development.

Volunteering! I love to volunteer and do community service.

When travelling I get a chance to meet local people, and through conversations with them learn more about the culture, customs, and traditions. I also enjoy learning languages...

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages! I can most surely teach languages (Serbo-Croatian, English, Russian).

Share experiences! I still have a lot of world to see and explore - but the parts I have seen so far I would love to talk about and share. One of my best trips was to Guatemala where I worked with women in Mayan communities. There I built stoves and spent a day in a community school with children.
