ABOUT ME

From 4 years living in Barcelona! We can go to discover local culture together! I live in Spain as I enjoy how the life is here - much more chilled. I came to learn spanish to go to Latin America and I just stayed :)

A years ago I went to Italy by hitchhiking and it was amazing experience. Next year I traveled around Balkans countries, part of this trip I did alone. It is definately the best thing I did in my life! Then I fulfilled another dream. I got to Georgia by hitchhiking and on this travel I made life time friendships. As my last big trip I spent 6 weeks in Mexico and I'm in love with that country. Nowadays I'm rather digital nomad type of traveler. I still want to stay for longer period of time in the place to know it better, but I'm getting comfy with years so now I rather exchange houses and work remotely, than hitchhike and sleep in the tent ;)

I think that if something is impossible, but you very much want to, you can!

PHILOSOPHY

You should only do things which brings you happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is amazing way to get to know new people who shares similar interests. I loved to use it when I was travelling alone, as then I didn't feel that I was alone ;)
You can feel the atmosphere of the city, because of the people you meet. Also I met amazing people that are my friends now and that's what I most appreciate about this platform.

Interests

I studied journalism and photography and what I'm really interested in is other people thoughts. I enjoy deep conversations and to discuss when we disagree. I also like art.

• photography
• movies

• hitchhiking

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to watch movies and analise them, so nice chat about cinema is always welcome! I like Skandinavian way of thinking, but also humour of Tarantino, or absurd in Kusturica's movies. :) I'm just not big fan of horrors :p For books I'm very into contemporary reportage, would love to hear some recommendations

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went around the city dressed as a Mickey Mouse.

Three big travels by hitchhiking alone - around Balkans; to Georgia by Turkey and 6 weeks in Mexico.
