Hello dear people.

I'm Tom from Croatia and I travelled a bit around the world 🌎
In October 2015. I raised my thumb and started to hitchhike, from Croatia all the way to New Zealand.
In the beginning, I thought how my journey will last for 2 years, but at the end was last almost 4 years.

All this should have been just to explore another culture, see different people, amazing landscape....but now traveling has become the way of my life.

After the journey I wrote 2 traveling books and I'm doing public speaking around Croatia and regions about my journey.

Also I have travel agency and bringing people to Southeast Asia.

I consider myself as positive, open-minded person, always willing to help if there is a need for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it is a best host-guest connection in the world. With my host I love to talk about our culture and our life.
Sharing an experience is the most important things about Couchsurfing.
And this is the biggest reason why I'm using that website.
