About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Earn some cash so I could visit NYC again :D

ABOUT ME

I am bachelor in Economics and person who wants to travel a lot. I have visited many countries until now and I want to visit as many as I can in the future. I am very outgoing, very adventurous person, and always want to meet new people and new cultures. 2011 I was doing Work & travel program in Ocean City, NJ, USA. 2012 I was an EVS volunteer in Poland, 2013 I got back to Poland for an AIESEC Internship. By the way, I am an AIESEC alumni, been a member 2006-2009. 2014 I went 3rd time to Poland trying to find a job, but it was just a short term and unsuccessful. After coming back to Macedonia I did 9 months working in a bank, but soon I realized its not for me, and I came back to Poland again. Right now I work in a international company in Gdynia, so if you are visiting the city or the surroundings, let me know I will try to meet and show you around :)

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is that every person by traveling around the world can find their place on the planet. Not every time the place where you are born is the perfect place for you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am active on CS for about 4 years. I have hosted and surfed, most of the time in Poland, since in Macedonia I live with my parents. If you are in Macedonia(while I am there also), feel free to contact me to show you Skopje, and to take you to places to taste amazing Macedonian food

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As months of experience for me on CS are going by, CS is proving to me as a life-changing experience. I had around 10 hosting experiences, and I have surfed more than 10 times. For now everything was amazing, and I am hoping for more experiences. Also I have joined numerous CS meetings, and gatherings, among others one international CS gathering in Krakow 2012

Interests

My main interest are traveling, volunteering, culture events(concerts, theater, cinema), also I want to learn new languages(learned Polish while in Poland). My Polish is quite ok and I can understand almost everything, but I need speaking practice. So meeting Polish CS-ers will be a great benefit for me and my Polish. Also I am person that want to feel the spirit of the city, so sometimes some bike/walking tour can be better option than just going to museums. Sitting in some laid back beer garden, coffee place, small restaurant is also great option for getting to know some city

Music, Movies, and Books

For music I can say, it is one of the 3 main parts in my life(music + traveling + volunteering). Since I am not limited on one genre, I prefer to say what I don't like :) I don't like heavy metal, I don't like turbo-folk music (Balkan people know what I am talking about). Also I don't like world music(Chinese, Indian, Japanese).

I also enjoy movies, my favorite genre is political thriller, thriller, comedy. I can't stand horror movies and movies from Asian production( Jackie Chan alike movies). About books, I prefer biographies, philosophy and some books about motivation, economy and marketing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My best moment/decison was choosing Poland for a EVS proect, for 7 months(April - October 2012), to work in cultural institution and to meet new people

Second best moment of my life was living in USA for 4 months. I was doing the work and travel program, so I was really busy working and traveling in USA. I have visited New York, world's most beautiful city in my opinion. Also been to Baltimore, Philly, Atlantic City and DC.
Also in this category I can put graduating. I graduated March 2012 and I was so happy about it because that gives my chance to travel more and more

Teach, Learn, Share

I am Economist, so I can help you with some Economy/Marketing things. I know English, so I can help someone to improve their English, and also I can offer help in Serbo-Croatian language, which is almost my second mother tongue. What I want to improve is my Polish speaking skills. I also want to get into the HH and car-pooling thing, so someone experienced in these 2 topics is welcome. Sharing stories from my live, and listening others ones is what makes me really happy

Countries I’ve Visited

Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Montenegro, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, Serbia, Turkey, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
