Description

I love traveling and being in nature, while meeting a lot of great folks. So, after finishing my bachelor studies, I figured out that I would rather pursue such a life then continue with studying and living in a city. So, now I want to learn more about living in nature, permaculture, communal living, democratic education etc, while meeting like-minded people in the process. My current idea is to acquire such skills and then to either start a similar place on my own, or to join an existing eco-community. Hope we will meet and exchange experiences and knowledge!

More details about my language interests
I think by learning languages we get an opportunity to a lot more deeply connect to other people all around the world. So, I would love to learn languages that are spoken by a lot of people such as Spanish and French, as well as Russian. However, I also believe it is nice to compare languages and think why the differences are present, so that is why it would be nice to learn some languages which are not so widely spoken, too.

More details about your skills

I am fluent in English and Serbian, but I want to learn a lot of other languages as I believe it unlocks deeper connections to a lot more people. I would like to learn French and Spanish, but I currently know only some basics. Generally, I try to catch a bit of the local language when I have an opportunity.

I have cooked for myself many times while being home and travelling. I have also been a member of a local solidarity kitchen, which is an interesting donation-based initiative that cooks and distributes food in a city.

Also, I love animals and have volunteered at an animal sanctuary where I learned a lot about cats and dogs. I often miss the contact I had with the animals back then.

Besides that, I have done a lot of random things such as painting, removing old tiles, collecting hay, cutting trees, sharpening knives and axes, starting fire, planting, digging, cleaning etc. And I am up for acquiring any other skills, but I am mostly interested in permaculture, natural building and democratic schools.

Apart from all that, I am skilled in mathematics and algorithmic programming. I finished a bachelor degree in theoretical mathematics half a year ago and in high school I participated in several international math contests winning medals. I could teach you about anything in those areas, or give you some tricky logical puzzles in case you like such riddles.

What else ...

I love hiking and being in nature, it always gives me a lot of energy! Collecting edible mushrooms and self-grown edible plants is awesome, I know to detect some of them, but I would love to expand the knowledge. Ultimate frisbee is great too, I have recently started playing it
with other enthusiasts in my hometown, while not travelling.
