About Me

!!!IMPORTANT!!! Please read my profile for important information if you want to stay with me, as I am not really accepting guests atm. I know it's a lot to read, but you can do it! I got your back! :D

I'm a weirdo interested in arts, music, creativity, and a few more things. I am a freelance artist, I play guitar in odd original tunings, I like to paint/draw and I am also into photography quite a lot. I admire creativity, and people that have embraced it in many ways. I am usually talkative, reasonably positive, and I can both be quite withdrawn and highly energetic. I am usually more energetic with other people.

I do not care much about what a foreigner would think of as Serbian music and don't know much about it and I would rather tell you to just google it. I am mostly into alternative stuff.

I am not really an active person, most of things I do are very solitary.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't smoke or get drunk, no drugs too, really not into it. I am more careful then reckless. I'm also a careful optimist believing in efforts paying out. I am trying to bring out the good in me and others if possible.

I am not into traditional conservative values, spirituality nor religion, so I might not be the right person for you in case these things are important to you.

I am lgbtq-friendly, politically leftist, agnostic/atheist.

I can usually get along with people, I don't shy away from making new acquaintances. I am a mixed bag though, usually people tell me that I am amusing to them, but then, some people get completely the wrong idea and awkwardness ensues. It happens, it's alright. The world would be boring if we were all the same.

As I said earlier, I am probably not everyone's man, but I am sure we can get along if we want to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing: Couchsurfing is my first go-to when I am going to another city, whether I have accommodation or not! I often end up meeting CS people and spending some time with them.

Hosting: Currently I don't host, but I am able to host one person in my studio flat, more info on that in the Couch section.

Meeting up: That's probably how you can get to me the most.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted by people from various countries in Europe. I met and hung out with lovely CS peeps from all over the world everywhere I went. It played a big part in my personal development, so even neutral or a few bad experiences caused by miscommunication or misunderstandings are still a part of the whole picture. In the end, the good things balance everything out.

----------THE IMPORTANT BIT---------
To make the best experience with the time we have, I will only seriously consider requests from people who read my profile and start their request with "Zdravo živo!" to at least ensure that you've read my profile and have a slight idea about my interests, character and living/hosting conditions.

I am very sorry to have to do this, after years on the platform. I am always taking a lot of effort when looking for a host, that includes reading about them so I can know it we will be a good match, so I am starting to expect it from others also.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reading a good fiction book, mostly science fiction, I seem to enjoy that genre the best, since I'm really into SF, and I'm a visual man. I prefer audiobooks actually.

I am not a big movie person, I take good recommendations though!

As for music, I like a lot of genres. For example: a lot of metal: sludge, stoner, doom, drone, dark-ambient, djent, post-metal. Then: ambient, post-rock, indie, neofolk, indie folk, minimalist, modern-classical, electronica, classical and "serious" music, ethnic music etc. I am a really big fan of music with a range I've accumulated over the years of listening to and playing music.

I play guitar in a local stoner-doom/postmetal band, so definitely that type of music is just a little bit important to me more than others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't really know. I am not a thrill-seeker in the adventure sense.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I'm a digital painter, and I'm very proficient at painting software like Clip Studio Paint, ArtRage and Photoshop, etc.
I can teach drawing, painting or some tricks in some software packs. I can teach people about playing guitar in alternative tuning.
I can explain to you photography basics!
