Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm on a mission to speak to as many people as possible about this experience of being human. I do this through interviews and events and post them to https://howtobehuman.co
I don't travel to see new places, I travel to catch a glimpse of what it's like to live there.
ABOUT ME
I'm endlessly curious about life and people. You can usually find me pondering over a hot coffee, sat cross-legged reading a good book, or immersed in deep conversation.
I'm vegetarian, I like to run and I like making things. I've had more random projects over the past 8 years than I can even remember. I tend to ask big questions a lot.
PHILOSOPHY
You are not your thoughts. You are an experiencer living in this human form for a while. Realising that changes everything.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
At the moment I can only surf and meet up for drinks :(
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My favourite experiences from Couchsurfing are very simple; I like to spend time with passionate, interesting people over beers, coffee or sometimes both ;)
More specifically this has involved a dinner party in Sarajevo, chilling out on the banks of the Ljublanica River with people I met through Couchsurfing and being engrossed in interesting conversation in pubs all across Europe.
Interests
My biggest interests are life and people. I'm on a mission to hear stories, to immerse myself in peoples' way of life, and to listen curiously as they describe their passions and ideas. As YOU describe your passions and ideas.
I want to have adventures. As Paulo Coelho wrote "I want to continue being crazy; living my life the way I dream it, and not the way other people want it to be."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I moved to Ljubljana with no plan and a limited supply of money. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life.
I wrote a book about travel.
Teach, Learn, Share
I've learnt a few things about marketing, I can help with writing/English language, or perhaps the thing I'm known best for is simply listening.
I would like to learn what it's like to be you.
Countries I’ve Lived In
Slovenia, United Kingdom
