Hi, I'm Zoran from Ljubljana. I love figuring out how things work and to share that with people. I'm more of a quiet type (the only reason I know pop songs at a club is because I found covers/remixes), but I enjoy going out too :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking back at the travels I've made up until now, it's clearly the people who made the experiences special. I surely never shed a tear about saying good bye to a monument or a skyscraper.

Couchsurfing also seems like place where people deliberately chose to stay open to new people and stories, which resonates with me. If I hadn't made friends outside of my age/language/whatever group, my world would be substantially smaller.

Interests

Linguistics and computer science are 2 things I want to do for a living, eventually.

Lgbtq+/feminist/social issues are important to me, because I believe that my own wellbeing is irreversibly linked with the wellbeing of others.

Board games, guitars, ukuleles are just pure fun for me :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
- H. Murakami
- Toni Morrison m a movie analphabet, educate me :)
I really liked Good Will Hunting and the first Matrix movie.

Music:
Amanda Palmer, Guano Apes, Bach, Tool, Dream Theater, Metallica, Pantera
Avishai Cohen, Tigran Hamasyan, Snarky Puppy, Knower.

And Fergie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending 6 months in Tübingen on Erasmus exchange without starving or worse and passing my first philosophy exam in German.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I could teach:

Learning second languages/ learning in generall,
Mindfulness meditation,
I speak Slovene, but that's kinda niche
playing ukulele or guitar
Heck, we could even do some public speaking training :)

What I'd love to learn:

Vegetarian or vegan cooking
Piano
Singing

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories that seem appropriate at the spur of the moment. Some happy, some sad, some meaningful, some absurd.

I'm also totally up for karaoke; any time, any not-really-public place, any cringe-worthy song I know

I recently rediscovered I can make pretty decent crepes :)
