About Me

CURRENT MISSION

-to live out what i desire within-

ABOUT ME

I am open, always willing to experience something new, and with some help, hoping to experience many new things to come. Unfortunately with my work i can only travel 3-4 times a year at most, so i hope to take the upcoming opportunities to the maximum.

PHILOSOPHY

“Every man is my superior in some way. In that, I learn of him." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Rise above principle and do what is right." - Walter Heller

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a new member to the CS community, but I really like the idea ever since i've heard of it. there is little not to love about the concept of receiving, and providing, the possibility to see the world! Since i have my own place, and it's pretty big, surfers coming to Zagreb might be welcome to bunk a night or two at my couch

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far, but fingers crossed! Upcoming Venice trip is going to be the first trip with CS (still hoping for some hosts), then i'll have more experience to share :)

Interests

Scuba diving (R1 certified), fishing, football, basketball, hiking, movies, lazying around, cycling, sightseeing, swimming, pretty much everything outdoors is what i digg. Of course, i wouldn't be here if i wasnt very interested in seeing the world (or as much of it as i can)
