hello : ) I am a twenty-year-old International Relations student from Slovenia. I am very fond of learning about cultures and the specific complexities of their rituals, writing poetry, being in contact with art and languages and people I feel close to. My personal characteristics are both communicativeness and a deep respect to one's personal time and space.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I am soon to start my erasmus exchange semester in Madrid and am therefore desperately looking for a place to stay. For having been unsuccessful so far (most landlords have not replied or are looking for a tenant that would rent their room for a longer period of time), I decided to create a Couchsurfing profile that would allow me to have an authentic local experience while having a few days to look for a place in person, not on the internet. I believe meeting locals randomly does possess an immense charm and reveals a certain city and its culture in its most true complexity. This deep, personal view into a new environment is after all why I want to come and stay in Madrid : )) - actually i had anair bnb for a month and from now on i don't have a room again. would anyone rent me their counch? thank you

Music, Movies, and Books

Sartre - The Age of Reason, Steinbeck - To a God Unknown, many by Zola, Miller - Tropic of Cancer, The Search of Lost time, The Idiot by Dostoyevski..

I love all kinds of music - my favourite genre used to be freak folk (Devendra and Cocorosie), but now I am able to enjoy and feel a rich spectre of styles, love jazz, postrock, trap, indiefolk, some tribal music etc.

My favourite movie is 2046 by Wong Kar-wai, otherwise I am a big fan of Polansky, Tarkovsky, Akin and Von Trier's work.
