About Me

I'm 28 and open minded person. I love nature and outdoor sports especially camping, hiking and trekking.

I think that people lost in many material and worldly things and missing the real point of life. Those who live for only money and glory are not attractive for me. I'm not one of them and won't be. I mean you will have those things in your life for sure but you can't miss the World and what it presents to us. Different cultures, beliefs, life styles, languages even superstitials are much more interesting. I would rather to buy a one-way plane ticket to the other side of the world rather than buying a "new" mobile phone or I would rather to get backpacked and just getting lost in the streets rahter than spending time in shopping malls. That's me which I explored 3 years ago. Now I'm trying to make up all the time that I lost.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's not about spending over night in someone's home. Couchsurfing is beyond it.

It's about cultural exchange and knowing new people from all over the World and feeding your soul with the touches of these cultures.

Interests

I love music. My soul feeds itself with music. If you just listen music, you might not understand me deeply, but if you make music, then everything turns out. Ruling the notes and losing youself on the guitar strings, that's what music represents to me. I'm a guitar player for almost 10 years and a solo guitar teacher for 6 years. I've been singing at pubs and cafes to express myself by music for many years.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to mention but if I have to give a name for music, certanly it would be Eric Clapton!
I read books about existentialism. You can catch me on those authors: Albert Camus, George Orwell, Franz Kafka, Fyodor Dostoyevsky are a few of them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bought an antique English made microphone from 1950s in Skopje, Macedonia and I had a scheduled flight from Belgrade to Istanbul. I was waiting for boarding time and suddenly I started to hear my name from speakers at the airport, someone was calling me out. Airport crew thought that there was something suspicious in my backpack and they asked me to show what it was. They took me downstairs to the baggage checking point and I unpacked my stuff and they noticed it was a microphone. Then we were ready to take off but 15 minutes late :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my culture, my thoughts about the world, nature and humanity. If you have a guitar I can play sing for you :)
