Talkative and open minded person, I like exploring the world around me, meeting new people, to widen the horizon, being spontaneus.
I also like learning new things, and think that cultural diversity truly represents the real and vivid beauty of the world and people.
Quite optimistic about life in general, seeing beauty in everything became one of my favourite hobbies/mind habits

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, to share interesting stories, to travel somewhere and to help someone travel also

Interests

Music, theatre, poetry and literature, dance, nature and everything about it, ecology and ecological awareness, spirituality, ethnology, history, tourism...name it! :)

I used to play djembe when I was a teenager, and that rythm still didn't leave my bones, so I am working on bringing the hand drum back to my everyday life.
Playing ukulele and starting to being good at it progressively, want to learn to play flute and one more traditional instrument :)

Writing poetry can also be listed in some of my favourite activities, but not on regular basis, of course, because I believe that poetry, unlike prose, is ought to be inspired by something to be deeply receiving and inspiring for others.

If you ever see me dance, you'll probably think I'm too wacky for being sober, but I like to dance as if there's no tomorrow, so the best you can do is to join and have unrestrained fun :D
Jokes on side, was training belly dance, argentine tango, and salsa :) but really, interested in any dance form!

Spirituality is something I rather prefer to talk about face to face, if we get to it, and ethnology is my first love in terms of what I wanted to study, but even though I couldn't study it for x reasons, am still restlessly learning and reading about it whenever possible

Cooking is my big passion, and I usually spend a lot of time experimenting with food, new recepies, tastes, and spices (but I avoid too spicy, like chilli, sorry you chilli lovers out there, you can always add some more ;)

Am an active volunteer and currently vice president of mental health NGO in my home town.
This cause, and many others are my big passion, and I find great fullfilment in being a social activist

In the last 5 years I started being aware of environmental issues. I always wanted to help Mother Nature in lot of ways, but I've come to terms with it only a year ago and since then, I try to evoke that spirit everywhere, to support every single cause I can, and to work in my community to rise awareness and responsibility each and every person on this planet has

Music, Movies, and Books

Rock, rock 'n'roll and ethno/world music are my favourite genres.
But I can go for everything, unless it's too mainstream, and of course, depends on the current mood. I like to explore whenever I can

The Fountain, Predestination, Modern times, Midnight in Paris, Forrest Gump, Hachiko, Frida, Amelie, Memoirs of a geisha, House of flyong daggers, Edward Scissorhands, Before Sunset,The Mask, The Gods must be crazy, Take the lead etc.

Siddharta - H. Hesse, Little Prince, The Prophet - Khalil Gibran, Erich Fromm - The art of love
11 minutos-Paolo Coelho, Island-Victoria Hislop, The stories of ancient times -I.B.Mazuranic, Metamorphosis - F. Kafka
There are many of them...and of course, all kinds of Encyclopedias :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stopped smoking!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm into sharing cooking recepies and experiences
Can show some basic moves of oriental dance, and would like to learn basics of any other dance form
Would like to learn more about eastern spirituality and philosophy, and exciting facts about each and every culture I have honour to meet
Would like to share opinion and passion about music, movies and books

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can talk about everything, including cultural differences and lifestyles
I can also teach you to cook some of traditional mediterranian food, for example sea food risottos etc.
If you want I can teach you some of Croatian and Italian language, as well as some Spanish
Can teach you some chords on my ukulele :)

If you come to my place, you can expect nice and warm atmosphere, a cup of good conversation, a small tour around town, a help with getting around and seeing the real picture outside classical touristic sights
Unfortunately at the time being I cannot host, but I will start again eventually
