About Me

In my life and work I combine both fun and serious stuff. Speaking of serious, I'm engaged in television and newspaper journalism through my faculty media. There for we have monthly newspaper Global (https://www.facebook.com/GlobalNovine) where I operate as Deputy Editor-in-Chief and at Television Student (https://www.facebook.com/TelevizijaStudent?fref=ts) where I work as interviewer at television show Alter Ego twice a month.

This fun part is pretty diverse. First of all, my part time, but regular job is working at Lush (https://www.facebook.com/lush.hr?fref=ts) where I have been working as sales assistant and visual merchandiser. Besides that, I enjoy my artsy fartsy hobby - sculpting based on orders via my Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/Glinomat?fref=ts.

While we're at the subject, I'll mention my drawing affinities and also film knowledge gained through film workshop that I've finished about seven years ago. I love to make my daily life 'artistic' through various experiences, friends and cheer towards small things. Zucker kommt zuletzt - I absolutely ADORE laughter, happiness and good jokes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going on Erasmus in 2016. My exact dates are 1st April to 1st September and I'll be situated in Mainz, at Johannes Gutenberg Universität. I hope on anchoring my knowledge on German language, but also meet new people and alongside save some money . With reference to saving money, I hope to spend that money on enjoying and getting acquainted with both Mainz and University and not aaaaall of it on rent. :)

Interests

I love arts - practically I do drawing and sculpting, but I'm interested in visual arts and film industry. I'm also naturally cheerful and positive person and I prefer to be surrounded with the same kind of people. I don't know, I believe that it's easier to live when you're ready to sometimes act a bit silly or childish!

Music, Movies, and Books

I really don't judge people by music they listen to and that's why I listen to diverse genres but I would emphasize indie rock as my favourite one. But! One of my favourite bands/musicians are: Arctic Monkeys, Prodigy, Pendulum, Robyn, Florence and the Machine, Stromae, Coeur de Pirate, Elle Eyre, Years&Years, Mando Diao, Franz Ferdinand, Jessie J, John Newman, One Republic. And some of 'old school and passe' bands - Offspring, Panic at the Disco, Sum 41.

Movies? Ocean's 11 and Ocean's 13 are my guilty pleasures. Besides that I'll mention Life Is Beautiful, Forrest Gump, Cabaret, Sin City, Schindler's list, Good Year, Amelie...

When talking about books, maybe it's better for me to distinguish some of the authors I appreciate. Such as Thomas Harris, Stephen King, Mario Puzo, Albert Camus, Italo Calvino, Fjodor Dostojevski.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh my God, sometimes I think I live in the Truman Show so I can't think of anything especially memorable and amazing at the moment. But I'm sure we'll think of something when we meet :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to play drums and learn how to dance jazz, swing or rock and roll! And travel to much more countries than I've been to by now.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can totally share good vibe and reduce their stress situations :D I can be their moral support in every single situation, whether positive or negative. I can even make them their own little sculpture so they can be the coolest and most original people in the world? :D

AND MOST IMPORTANT - I really love to clean. Everything - washing the dishes, vacuum cleaning, brooming, to mop floors. Even redecorating is considered since I'm intensively interested in the interior design. :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Scotland, Slovenia, Spain
