I am currently a graduate student of cognitive science at Uni. of Ljubljana, doing the whole academic schtick. Otherwise I am a great lover of literature, weird films, tennis and scuba diving. Right now I'm trying to get a license to be a diving instructor and am working towards running up a mountain. I'm a passionate but messy cook and I am consistently surprised when I find out I can actually cook something new. I absolutely love learning new things, whether it be languages or new disciplines.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel often and a lot. My first job was a travel writer and I learned that one of the most precious things is to be able to crash somewhere in an hour of need. So, I am here both looking for said crashing opportunities and offering them to people.
