About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to graduate from University, pick up my backpack and start the journey. In the meantime, I hope to meet/host many people from all over the world, and to travel "without traveling".

ABOUT ME

I like to think of myself as of a wild and free spirited person; I couldn't imagine my life without dancing, and I live to travel the world one day.

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones that you did do. So sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't been really active in the CS community so far, but I hope to change that this summer. I'm offering a couch and/or my tourist guidance through my hometown for all willing to experience the eastern part of Croatia.

Interests

I enjoy learning new languages, traveling, and, above all dancing. Righ now, I'm working on my flamenco and tango skills, and collecting money to buy a good bike to go riding through Ireland and/or Andalucía next summer.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I enjoy movies that, for the way they are filmed, or the idea they represent, leave you with something to think about after watching them. One of those would certainly be:

Amélie, Čarlston za Ognjenku, Maléna, Frida, The Fall, El secreto de sus ojos, Black Swan, The Godfather Thrilogy, Pride And Prejudice, Into The Wild Intouchables, Lucky Number Slevin, Atonement, Jeux d'enfants, Roman Holiday, Ask The Dust...and many many more.

When it comes to music, my repertoire is quite wide and often surprises me too. The music I truly enjoy would always include a bit of that "latin" sound, so everything from tango, cuban salsa, all the way to flamenco is very desireble; although, I would exclude reggaeton from that list :D

Artists I enjoy: Đorđe Balašević, Olivera Katarina, Shakira, Carlos Santana, The Doors, Bruce Springsteen, Babyshambles, Peter Doherty, Chavela Vargas, Nina Simone, Bebe, Gotan Project, Beyoncé, Eddie Vedder, Amy Winehose, Lana Del Rey...

Books: I enjoy Joanne Harris' work, Truman Capote's way of writing; Judith Hermann's "Nothing But Ghosts", Federico Garcia Lorca, Carlos Ruiz Zafón's "Shadow of the wind"; "Bury Me Standing" by Isabel Fonseca; George Orwell's "1984", "The Animal Farm", "Hommage To Catalonia"; the earlier works of Coelho.
