About Me

Since I am going to exchange, I am not hosting anyone until I get back in 2020. //

I am a 22-year-old Sculpture student from Ljubljana, heading to an Erasmus exchange in Groningen, The Netherlands. Since I want to enrich the dullness of my everyday activities, I want to travel as much as possible, meet new customs, people and places (of course, I am intrested in art and culture the most).

In my art projects I am discovering the problem of spacial errors through repetition and passing (of time and history), usually shown as installations based on the architecural heritage of the exhibiting space. Trying to get to know myself a little more, I am going there on my own and planning on visting most Dutch cities as well - so a nice company would always be a plus.

I am an easy-going , curious and tidy (yet sometimes a bit confused and shy) individual, always up to for a discussion on anything. I enjoy beer, listening to stories, reading, watching movies and going to the theatre.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get to know the Dutch cultural and natural heritage as best as I can in those 6 months (when I am not busy with projects at the Academy).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In May 2020 I had the privilege to cast my schoolmate in plaster (her whole body, the only way she could breath was through two little holes near her nose, everything else was covered in plaster). I had to hold her until it dried enough to take the cast off of her and the cut it open. She really trusted me (she could've easily fainted or I could've hurt her with the knife).

I designed the scenography for an hommage to constructivism play, performed in Ljubljana in 2016.

And I hid myself in a pool, full of clay.
