I'm Tjaša, a 19 year old girl from Slovenia, currently taking a gap year to travel and pursue other interests before I start my studies in The Netherlands.
I love to travel and meet local people along the way, as it really is the best and most fun way to experience the place I'm visiting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing after I had stayed with my sister in Vienna for a while and she was hosting Couchsurfers non-stop during my stay. We hosted some really interesting people, we went sightseeing with them and cooked together in the evening - I really enjoyed the experience so I decided to join, too!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: as long as it's something to dance or sing to, I'm gonna like it :)

Movies: i like movies a lot as they're a form of stationary traveling and meeting people when I don't get the actual chance to do it for real. I watch almost everything from Wes Anderson-ish and foreign films to Marvel and Game of Thrones.

Books: same as movies, I'll read everything. I actually do judge books by their covers and titles (but really just books haha) so there's a lot of variety. Some of my favorite authors are Milan Kundera, Haruki Murakami, Aarto Paasilinna, J.K. Rowling and Aldous Huxley.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A year long AFS exchange to France and living with an incredible French host family in Montpellier when I was 16; now it's my second home

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking a traditional dish and learning some words of a foreign language is something I would love to learn but can also teach. If I host you, I'll teach you how to brew coffee the Balkan way with a džezva, and you bet there'll be a lot of coffee!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a nice time with my hosts, I like sharing my stories from traveling and I like hearing my hosts' stories. The conversation would never be dull!
