About Me

I studied computer science and through it, became involved in many volunteer student projects as part of different student organizations. This lead me to an interest in soft-skills (things like public speaking, creative thinking, storytelling).

In 2011 I became a soft-skill trainer, which allowed me to travel all of Europe on conferences and student events. Through it I met many new people, and loads of good friends.
I also helped organize TEDxUniversityofLjubljana with some other friends.

Recently I started doing stand-up comedy, which I am quite passionate about. I love making people laugh and stand-up allows me to follow my dream.

I am incredibly passionate about reading, and not a month goes by that I don't read a book or two or three and find 10 more to put on my already infinitely long list.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because meeting new people and travelling are a big thing in my life.

I like socializing and hearing other people's opinions about life and its strangeness.

Music, Movies, and Books

Thinking - fast and slow.
The willpower instinct.
Brain rules, unabridged.
Games people play.
Hyperthinking.
Tony Buzan - Speed reading.

Inception, Shawshank, Godfather, The man from earth, Midnight in Paris.

My taste in music is strange... I like all types of music, but not all songs from each type. Nor do I like each song from an artist, or an event or anything like that.
Some songs I just like and other I just don't...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I organized the largest student educational event in the country, with a great team of volunteers.

Teach, Learn, Share

A brain is an atom's way of analysing itself.

The quality of one's life is directly correlated with the amount of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An interesting conversation, new ideas, a relaxed attitude and maybe a gift from Slovenia :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Kenya, Latvia, Malta, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom
