Overview
About Me
A brave animal of slovenian origin criscrossing Italy feeling like I'm in my living room. Would love to meat new people. Learning Italian. A growing man afraid of ripening, but inspired by octopuses and their natural capabilities to hug, transform and transcend. Living by my belief of growth overcoming fear, which is a pesky and unneeded beast that can even make love evil. Love is the single most beautiful thing that there is. I meditate and do yoga to not get overly attached to concepts I have of myself and others. I calm but spicy, Recently found my natural enviroment in the sea. Generally I'm a much better version of myself in nature, but I love cities and their fullness. A self-taught philosopher, a government-taught media producer, a passionate cook, yoga-master-to-be, a freelance writer, a tennis coach and a theatre geek, I'm the one to talk about everything openly and in a calmly excited tone. I destructured my world to get rid of the inessential, currently in the mode of reconstruction.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've been in Tuscany for two weeks now, wanted to return to Slovenia a few days ago but a mysterious coincidence made all the buses drove past me. I took it as a sign that I have to stay some more time in Italy, which is pure magic. I'm moving from Tuscany to Rome, then Naples and maybe Sicily. I'm not poor but definitely on a budget, that doesn't allow me to search for hostels in the last moment (they get ridiculously expensive), which is what I like to do, because I never know if the bus will arrive hahah. Because of this budget situation, I'm seeking free accomodation in exchange for my presence and sharing my talks n' magical powers with you, as well as cooking, breakfast making and a calm spunk of yoga-meditation.
