About Me

I'm a friendly Slovenian girl who likes to travel and learn languages.

Traveling is great because you can learn a lot about how other people live and what their outlooks on life are. And then this gives you great ideas how to improve yourself and your own way of living. Also it is a great deal of FUN!

I have lived in New Zealand for the past two years. Right now I am looking forward to going on a holiday to my home Slovenia. But also having a day long stopover in Shanghai! Excited!!! :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed a few times so far and I met some really wonderful people. I saw places and learned things I otherwise wouldn't be able to. Also, when I moved to Köln (Germany) and Jackson (WY) for a few months, this website was great for meeting locals and getting an insider's point of view on my new temporary home.

Interests

I like listening to a lot of different types of music, I like chocolate, trying new food/recipes. Cooking is great! Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, movies, tea, hiking, mountains, beer, wine, pancakes and maple syrup, campfires, running,
