About Me

I'm a journalist/musician/activist that works for a local NGO as tech director.

Altough I have a masters degree in journalism, I always had an inclination towards IT so now I'm combining the two to fully express myself and try to make the world a better place.

The other side of me is a musician that has an active bend called Svemir (The Universe) which released 3 LP's. If you want give it a listen we are on bandcamp (lyrics are in Croatian) - http://svemir.bandcamp.com/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from all over the world and to get help while traveling around the globe. I've already hosted lot's of people, but never via couchsurfing and I see this platform as a great opportunity to host and be hosted by some exciting people.
