Overview
About Me
I used to stay in my friends from AIESEC and I hosted a lot of people because I believe a home is only beautiful if you create memories inside.
Well, everyone has a story, and I am ready to tell mine, what about you?
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe that Couchsurfing is not just about finding a shelter to cover you from the cold nights, its about meeting with new people, seeing different point of views, hearing new stories, laughing with different people and in the end of the stay, not leaving a hotel room but saying goodbye to a new friend and hope to see each other again.
Interests
I like rowing, playing basketball and football, talking about business world, economy, entrepreneurship, social problems and sharing stories. I also like to cook, dance, reading and learning new languages.

Music, Movies, and Books
I have a big range of taste in music, I can listen to Mozart for 3 hours straight and then change it to Eminem, from there Metallica or to Epica, and I like to go back in time and listen to Elvis Presley.
My favorite song is Sitting on the Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding. I am always open to new song suggestions. I like to play cajón as well.
For the books, I like to read all the time, ı can't read a book when I'm traveling but in this times I read about the history of the city/country I'm traveling and learn as much as I can about their culture.
My favorite books are Lord of the Rings, not just because its the best book series I have ever read, but because I respect the author's brain & his imagination skills too much.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was rowing in a lake in Lithuania, and a flow suddenly came from nowhere and changed the direction of the boat, and when the boat stopped turning, I saw the best sunrise view of my life.
Besides than this, some other awesome stuff I did was;
Hitchhiking from Prague to Istanbul alone, stopped at Bratislava, Budapest, Belgrade, and Sjenica.
Co-founding a start-up while still being a student and earning money from it,
Cycling in the canyon of Sjenica, Serbia (google it, and go if you can, absolutely amazing place)
Working for the National Museum in Sarajevo, which was closed due to budget cuts, I worked in a team to help them re-open it.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I have my stories, my ideas about different topics and my friendship to offer, and I expect nothing more than this from the person I am going to host or visit. Everything else, cooking, going to different places together and stuff like this depends on the situation we are in.
