About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Tranquility, harmony, simple living, minimalism.

ABOUT ME

Hi to all! :)

My name is Marija. I live in Croatia, beautiful country in south-east of Europe.
When I first joined CS many years ago I was eager to meet new people, learn a bit of their language and culture. So I hosted many people who I enjoy spending time talking, walking around the city and having so much fun.

Now I am a mum and do not host but can meet with you on a coffee to chat or just walk around the city. :)

I love my country, sea, chocolate, watermelon, sun, wind, rain, my friends, my family.
Running is my passion.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy your life! Don't be angry, jealous, enviable.
Just smile and look forward! :)

"I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change..." (M. Jackson)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I cannot host because I have two small children who take most of my free time.
But maybe we can meet for a coffee to chat a little bit or spend some time walking around the city :)

If you do have any questions about my country or my city be free to ask. Maybe I can help you with some good advice. :)

Interests

I am passionate about running. I am a part of running club in Zagreb. I ran many races for the past one year and among those also two half marathons.
I enjoy playing board games, watching good films with my husband on our couch and cartoons with my kids; visit museums, go to the zoo.
