Overview
About Me
I am a 24 year old Economics student who loves to enjoy life.
I love traveling but haven't done it as much as I wanted to. I moved around a lot in the past couple of years and now I started going to school again.
I love reading books and going for walks. My passions are fashion and philosophy :) goes together, doesn't it?
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love meeting new people, going different places and learning about different cultures and different lifestyles. I would want to host as many couchsurfers as I possibly can and would love to be hosted once I do decide to travel. I believe that we can learn a lot about ourselves while interacting with other people, some of us choose to ignore it, I choose to embrace it.
Interests
As I mentioned, I LOVE reading books, one day I want to have a huge library in my home. I also love watching movies, usually romantic comedies (what a cliche, I know). I used to salsa, and hopefully I will continue with it, soon. I often go skiing, and I am very good at it (at one point I wanted to be a skiing instructor - who knows, maybe one day I will :) ).
I enjoy running - I am in a team called Zagreb Runners - we meet up so we can run together - it's the most amazing thing ever. I love running, but it's sometimes hard to get of the couch and actually go out for a run, but when you have a group of people that's as enthusiastic about running as you are and you motivate each other to be better at it every single time, it's way better than doing it on your own. I never knew that I could run 6.3 km in one go until I did it. Now I'm training to run my first half marathon in April - a huge deal for me.
The other activity I am so into (during summer) is swimming - I love it.
I cook. I cook well actually and love to experiment.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music - I could say I listen to whatever is on the radio, and that would be true, but I do prefer older to new music, for sure. As I love to dace, I love Latin music and disco music from the 80s.
I enjoy all books, my favorite ones are mysteries and psychological thrillers. I read philosophy books as well, whatever I can get my hands on :) My fave author is Sydney Sheldon and his book If tomorrow comes is a book I could reread over and over again and still enjoy it as the first time I read it.
If I start about how much I love Harry Potter I'm not sure if I will know where to stop so I'll just say it had a huge impact on my life when I read it as a kid (I still read all 7 books from time to time, sometimes in Croatian and sometimes in English) .
Movies ... mostly romantic comedies and old classics like Breakfast at Tiffany's, as well as comedies like Police Academy.
