Hi! I'm Lovre, 24 years old, I live in Zadar, BUT
for most of the year I live in Zagreb, where I study comparative literature.

I speak Croatian (and the close relatives) and English fluently and my Korean is somewhat good, and I'm not too bad in French and German either. Hopefully 1-2 more of those in foreseeable future ^^

I waste my time playing the guitar or the drums and composing, reading novels, writing, playing older PC games, taking uncommon pictures with my phone, drinking coffee, skateboarding, walking, cycling, being awake when i should be asleep, I drive, I don't have a pet, I don't smoke, I eat meat, I'm afraid of heights... not pushy about my views so I hope you aren't either.

What completely changed my life for the better was a book on Japanese cinema I accidentally ended up buying when I was 18, and that's the #1 topic I can go on about to no end. That's how I then got into Korean cinema (-> culture -> language) too and it all resulted in a semester long academic exchange in Gwangju.

Most of all I am here to joke around, so feel free to join and waste time together~

The most beautiful place I've ever visited is Taipei.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, interested in meeting new people and seeing places. I found out I feel better as soon as I'm away from home, so :D but no, I'm not doing it solely for myself and my inspiration and experiences - it's a two-way experience and some lonesome adventures may be thrilling, but they are worth nothing compared to what you can get with company that suits you

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

self-taught in music, opening beer bottles with my teeth, learned the headstand in 3 days - three not so amazing things can count as one of those

Teach, Learn, Share

- teach - the horribly complex Croatian language, that headstand if you have 3 days
- learn - more languages and more languages, cultural insight, youth culture of your place, old beliefs of your place, your jokes, proverbs & sayings... let it come as a surprise!
