About Me

CURRENT MISSION

in transit

ABOUT ME

I'm 34, from Rijeka, Croatia. Spent my childhood on Krk island, and moved to Rijeka with my family when I was 9. I lived in Zagreb for three years during my studies, and lived in New Zealand on working holiday visa.
Now I'm again living in wonderful Rijeka, where I run the free walking tour.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offering advices, couch, sightseeing, meals, talk, friendship to a people who come to my country. I wish to get the same when I'm abroad.
When I host, my surfers can expect to have a safe and clean space to sleep in. I expect the same from my hosts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a couple of surfers in Zagreb and Rijeka, and had only good experiences with them. I have been hosted and surfed, and will keep hosting (depends on circumstances) and surfing!
For me, CS is the best way to meet new people, to see their hometown and to enjoy a company while in new countries.
