Hello travelers! :D

I am Rrezarta.

I studied psychology at the university, and I work in a boutique NGO that focuses on the arts and humanities.

I live with my cat Caspurr in the center of Prishtina, in a small but cozy flat that I would be happy to temporarily share with those who choose to visit Prishtina.

You have to sing for your soup however. I am fascinated by the multitude of human stories, so tell me yours over a vegan dinner. I am trained to listen :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here because I think meeting strangers, even in passing, is one of life's greatest adventures. I also think that welcoming guests is an underrated spiritual practice.

I don't love all that many things about the culture I grew up in, but Albanians have traditionally gone a bit crazy on hosting. There is a saying among us "The house belongs to god and the guest". I am not so keen on god, but guests are great (With a little bit of luck. There is always that chance that I might end up IN a very much non-vegan dinner, Hannibal Lecter style but I have never allowed such trifles to deter me :D )

Interests

I am a deeply, compulsively curious creature so my interests are all over the place, but they can essentially be summed up as an openness to the world with an eye inwards.

Art touches me deeply. Especially poetry, which I sometimes read in front of a camera and upload to youtube and instagram. You can find my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu7Jlr2n8sniiZTrUVg3WWw
