About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live happily ever after. And to love.

ABOUT ME

I am one hedonistic girl from Croatia. Love to hang out with the people that are easy and positive, with a good sense of humor. I would always rather be alone than with somebody who's either boring or negative. I would always pick 'simple' over 'complicated', 'passion' over 'apathy'. I do believe emotional intelligence is way more important in life than any other.

I enjoy making art and observing it as well as every kind of creation. I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect. And turquoise.
I am addicted to good music and I really like live concerts in some cozy bars or open air summer festivals. I attend carnivals and costume parties whenever I can.
Sleeping really makes me happy. Sometimes I could just sleep the whole day; especially after a good night out.
Camping in the nature is something I like a lot, but would definitely like to do it more often.

PHILOSOPHY

Love each day as if it was your last.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel cause I want to know more of this World, about the people and their culture, about their real einviroment and their customs. I could never achieve that by sleeping in some common hotel room and by exploring only the things that are written in some mediocre guide.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted several times in Split (2015-2016) and once in NYC (2012), surfed twice in Singapore (2014), twice in Manila (2015) and once in Taipei (2015) together with Ante Matulić (for more references check here https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/amatulic/references?type=host).
I've also participated in several events in NYC, Berlin and Manila.
