Hello, people! My name is Ivana, I am 26 years old and come from Serbia.
I'm a student of Psychology (though kind of dragging it out with those last exams 🥲) and an ESL teacher.

✨ Couchsurfing is not tinder ✨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I work from home, it was final time for me to start traveling a bit, so I decided to look into couchsurfing since I heard so many great experiences from friends who used it before.

I believe it's not only about cutting down on expenses when it comes to accomodation - but building new friendships and experiences with locals/hosts, immersing with local culture and growing yourself with each new experience you get! 🤗🌱

📚: I like reading dramas, fiction, self improvement, epic fantasy..

I was more avid reader in my younger age, my attention span is fucked due to my ADHD, but it is what it is.. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Here is my goodreads account (not used that much lately, but just so you can get the idea 😅)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Honestly, I couldn't really say that I am extremely good at anything. I'm more of a jack of all trades - master of none 🥲, but often times better than master of one.

I'd help make some food, since I do like to experiment with cooking. Though I cannot promise it would be that good. 😅

I could help you out with some DIY projects you might have.

Help you take care of pets or plants (gardening is one of my newest hobbies 😅).

But what is guaranteed is a good amount of conversations.
If I start feeling comfortable around you - I rarely shut up. 😅
I like exchanging experiences, talking about traveling adventures, discussing social and political topics (I'm quite passionate when it comes to talking trash about Serbian politics *disclaimer*).
