Overview
About Me
I'm in Prishtina for work, and most of the time either too busy to host or not in town myself.
If I do, it's mostly cyclists - I'm currently the only host in town on warmshowers platform and get several request a month. I do host couchsurfers as well, but had to turn down more than half of the request so far as I wasn't available for the days requested- so "not available" as default seems to be the more honest profile setting. I stopped drinking alcohol a while ago, so usually I am not interested to hang out over beers ;)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I joined CS way back 2012 when living in Tbilisi, Georgia, where it was great to meet other locals and travellers, with monthly meetups and and active forum. I wasn't active at all back in Germany, also because the platform wasn't what it used to be anymore. Reactivated my profile after moving to Kosovo, but too busy to host or hang out most of the time. If you see me as "recently only", it was most likely either because I just had to reply to another request ;)

On the Kosovo-Serbia border question everyone keeps asking about:
If enter Kosovo via Macedonia or Albania and want to continue to Serbia, you might get trouble from the Serbian side of the border. Because Serbia still claims that Kosovo is Serbia and if you don#t have a Serbian entry stamp you entered illegaly. Both countries accept ID of EU and many other countries, and you can't stamp an idea. So not showing your passport, but your ID at the border is a way to avoid this issue (if your country ID is among those accepted)
If you should be staying in Prishtina longer, I strongly recommend to subscribe to the "Suzanne Podcast". Substack, best overview. on what's going on. in terms of culture and live music I have found.
