About Me

I'm a cultural worker, school and university teacher, specialist in heritage studies, researcher, city explorer and creative practitioner (dance improvisation).
For the last 3,5 years I've been living in Novi Sad, volunteering in local museums, conducting events and just trying to enjoy life. I know pretty much about the city, can recommend you nice cafes or show you some tiny streets and hidden yards. Usually travellers explore the fortress, pedestrian street and think this is all to discover. Definetly - no! I even joke "If you don't like Novi Sad, you just haven't walk here with me".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always say "I'm not a tourist, I'm a traveller". I think CS is about that.
I still believe that CS can help to meet the most open-minded, vise and deep people.
