Couch picture

Couch Available: Definitely!
Preferred Gender: Any
 Wheelchair Accessible: Yes

Max Surfers Per Night: 3

Shared Sleeping Surface: No
Shared Room: No

You can sleep on a couch, in your sleeping bag. It is a private room, not shared with other people. The room has one bed, several armchairs, a synthesizer, and one really old and grotesquely small yellow TV :)

I live in Pancevo, a town which is practically a part of Belgrade. If you plan a trip to Serbian capital, count on my couch as well. It's easy to use Pancevo as a starting point to Belgrade.

Pancevo itself is a lovely town, with its old architecture, and a vibrant cultural scene, one of the most vibrant ones in Serbia these days. Check out the film I made about Pancevo in 2004 (http://krcadinac.com/a_tale_of_a_town.html).

I live in a house with my parents, upstairs. Downstairs is a small apartment just for visitors and couchsurfers, like you ;) I also have a big swing in my backyard. I have no pets and no tolerance for smokers. If I have time, I'll show you around. You can come any time, but contact me at least a week earlier. Cheers!

Personal Description

A wanderlusting wonderseeking stargazer, a child in heart, and an old-fashioned romantic who just found out he has a woodpecker in his garden :)

My homepage (http://www.krcadinac.com) and some things I leave behind on the Web (http://del.icio.us/krcadinac, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2799326/, http://www.facebook.com/people/Uros_Krcadinac/568417019).

How I Participate in CS

Offer couch, ask for couch, and share with others all those innumerable little somethings that make my life worth living :)

CouchSurfing Experience

My experience with CS -- so far in Serbia, Germany, Mongolia, Russia, and France -- is so great that it makes a number one reason why am I optimistic about this world.

Interests

Cycling, playing, drawing, reading, dreaming, writing, flying, falling, thinking, creating, swiming, programming, kissing, skiing, filming, hiding, climbing, listening, loving, winning, forgetting, remembering, and, unfortunately, singing...

Philosophy

"Everyone who rides a bike is a friend of mine."

Music, Movies, Books

This could turn into a list, for example (http://krcadinac.com/inspiration.html), yet, right now, I don't feel like making one.

It's more about sitting next to the river, with birds and winds and an old memory of somebody's voice, and you try in vain to remember a forgotten poem, murmuring, and you lay in the grass, looking at the clouds forming in the sky, just like stop-motion or fractal-based animation, and everything is clean and clear, and you wish there are less things created in this world, because there are too many things, there should be less films, books, or music, or art in general, and, still, you wish you could devote an entire life to reading or listening, or creating, or just sitting next to the river.

Types of People I enjoy

People who didn't let their childhood disappear.

Teach, Learn, Share

Could teach animated filmmaking, programming, skiing, ultimate frisbee, and tree climbing. Would love to learn almost anything :)

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Galloping on a Mongolian horse, making a cartoon with crayons, watching a Baikal sunset, swimming in Tara rapids, making software which paints, experiencing a Solar Eclipse in Siberia, writing silly poetry in French, riding a bike from Pancevo to Croatia, surviving the Milosevic regime and the NATO bombing of Serbia, helping the egg-hatching of several guineafowls, and still loving my hometown so much despite of it being really polluted.

Locations Traveled

TRAVELED: Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Mongolia, Montenegro, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Turkey, United Kingdom
LIVED: Austria, Serbia

Uros accepted to host me on a very short notice, after i was thinking about not visiting Belgrade any more. He answered in French to my request and we spoke French together all the time. His level is good! I staid a short time in Pancevo but had time to meet some or Uros' friends, then visit the Capital of Serbia with one of them, and then visit Pancevo by myself. I liked this meeting and this time because of interesting discussions we had, and because of good hospitality of this Serbian family. Being in Pancevo and going to Belgrade by bike was not a really good idea (place is not so bike friendly, and then the days are short in October) but going there by bus is always possible and Uros prepared a notice to explain how to do it! Thanks and 'a un de ces jour en France ?'

Uros is a latter-day polymath, and gregarious too - he likes people and people like him. Staying with him was so enjoyable that I stayed longer than planned, and I'd go back in an an instant.

Uros is really calm and knows how to enjoy simple moments. He is also a bit shy but after a while he feels more and more talkative and then becomes curious about his environment. And don't forget Uros: c'est pas moi qui ai tiré la queue du chat!!! ;-)

Uros is a truly unique person - someone you definitely don't meet every day. What I was most struck by was his inquiring mind and out-of-the-box thinking process. He is also a very friendly, open and humorous guy. We may do some other travel-related projects in the future.

Uroš is full of surprises and one true Renaissance man. Whatever topic you can think of he'll be the person to discuss it. Full of creative ideas, ready to plunge into any good adventure and fun, he's the best company for any kind of an excursion or a silly low budget project (with an aesthetic touch, of course :)

Although we met only for one afternoon, he made a big impression on me. Great sense of humor, energetic, full of live, and one of the few people who actually had a mithril in his eye.I really hope that we won't loose contact with each other. If you have a chance you should definitely meet Uros!

Uros is a very open minded, interesting person, a traveler from the bottom of his heart! Curious about everything, especially all the different cultures and the amazing people in this world.
He came to Vienna to visit a common friend (that's how we met), borrowed my bike and we spent an incredibly nice night talking after a great Jazz concert.
I hope to see him again in the future (maybe while I'm traveling to find my roots in Serbia)
Take care and thx for the great discussions!

I first heard of Uros through his great work in the field of animated movies. Later I had a privilege of meeting him in person when I joined his Ultimate Frisbee gang. He is a great guy and he is always smiling, which is a rare quality in people these days.
