About Me

Life´s journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways totally worn out, shouting, Holy Shit, what a ride....

This should tell you all you need to know about me.. :)

Well and I am Croatian born in Germany...it´s like the perfect mix of a sunny and warm summer with a great landscape in middle of the adriatic sea and a freeezing cold snowy winter on the alps including little bavarian villages covered with snow and a snowboard madness on the mountains :)

In the past i was a International Business Consultant, working for a big german corporate bank. After i realized that this kind of corporate life does not fit to my future plans, i left my job and now i´m about to start smthg by my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel the world, meet great people, "develop" myself and share new experiences. It´s like in that song from Asaf Avidan: "One day we´ll be old - think off all that stories that we could have told"

Interests

I´m a big fan of watersports like wakeboarding, kitesurfing, diving, paddeling,...it´s the croatian part of me. Due to my german part i like to go snowboarding. Furthermore i like photography...traveling...party...like to do some tourist stuff like sightseeing...and everything whats fun :)
I´m open to try new things like some new sports or some crazy food like those scorpions in Beijing :D

Music, Movies, and Books

No fav music...it always depends on my mood...everything from deep house to hard rock or rap...sometimes even classics (the best music to focus on work).
The same for movies...there are so many...but here are some examples of my fav list: Shutter Island, Inception, Lord of War, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars (yeah i´m a big fan since my childhood), Scarface, Wall Street,...many many more...the movie should be good enough to spend the time for it :)
Books...hmm...i read a lot but i don´t like novels...prefer books i can learn something...it´s like there are people who are spending their whole life on doing something and in their last career-days they are setting up a book about their experience...it´s great...love that...i always like to improve myself in the way i think and behave...one of those books is the 4-Hours-Workweek from Tim Ferriss...just like that :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When i´ve been in China i visited the Mount Huashan together with some friends. On this mountain you can walk on one of the worlds most dangerous hiking trails. We did that. First i was like daaaaaaaaamn but after getting in control of my fear it was such a great feeling...full of adrenaline...it was amazing...a feeling i can never forget :)
