Description
Hello, I am Dejan from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, but I also have Croatian citizenship.
Just an ordinary guy, although some people call me crazy because I don't use social media.
I like history, ancient ruins and old towns made of stone and for people, not cars. I don't even have a car, I ride a bicycle.
I am also interested in hiking, outdoor activities, yoga and meditation. Would love to learn how to sail.
I will be happy to help with anything, not afraid of hard work, as long as there's a good laugh after :)

More details about your skills
Roughly 20 years of experience in hospitality, tourism and customer service, almost half of it internationally. I have worked/volunteered in bars/restaurants, hostels, eco retreats, catering services, camp sites and farms as a waiter/bartender, receptionist, cook/kitchen hand, tour guide, cleaner/housekeeper, night watchman and occasionally bar/hostel manager in Bosnia, Croatia, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Jordan and Egypt.
I studied architecture, but never got a degree, finished graphic/web design school instead. But that was ages ago, I'm pretty rusty and outdated.
Age
45
What else ...
I have no fixed plans for the future, if I like a place and a place likes me, I can stay for a long time.
Also, I noticed some hosts accept only EU citizens, so I got a Croatian passport too.

I came in early summer to stay for a month or… read more
