About Me

I think that people who know me, would describe me as someone who smiles and laughs a lot.
I do. :)

I like animals, nature, hiking, yoga (with my partner we started to learn acroyoga), mindfulness, art, sarcasm, everything connected to human mind, drinking coffee with my friends, going to the concerts, exploring new places, daydreaming, having deep conversations, partying, listening to music, getting lost, writing, just walking around, meeting inspiring people, having fun. I love sunrises, mountains, books and poetry.

In January 2023 I published a collection of short stories Nedaleč stran (it could be translated to "Within a Reach"), so I guess I am a writer now ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first couchsurfing experience in 2012 was amazing - hanging out with locals gives you a totally different picture of the place you visit. And it's not just about the place, it's about people. Usually we hang out with people who are similar to us, who live in a similar environment. Meeting people from different places with different "background" makes me see and understand more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studying abroad in Konstanz, Germany. Vipassana retreat in 2020.

Also, I think joining the CS community was an amazing thing to do - I met so many wonderful people who inspired me and made my travels more beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always eager to learn something new and I want to learn how to play harp someday.

I can share everything I can to make your stay in Maribor pleasant, and my homemade tea - it's delicious :)
