  • Description

    I consider myself a beginner in many life skills, but i am a fast learner and an eager person who recently discovered an internal need towards becoming a resourceful man who can tap into the beautiful state of focus, confidence and constant improvement. Born and raised in Belgrade, Serbia, studied civil engineering, but through my new found love of free climbing i realized i wanted to spend my life outdoors perfecting skills using tools and my own hands. I have had the luck to be surrounded and influenced by great friends and close people, so i learned, or better yet, found out what are the values i hold important and how i want to interact with other people. Everybody is equal in my opinion and everyone has a story to tell. That is why since i can remember i have felt the need to travel, to see some crazy corners of this planet and do stuff that makes my soul buzz. In this age of my life i want to work as hard as i can, to break the old set limits and see where the new ones are. It would be great to work with someone who knows how to implement knowledge and who can use my raw enthusiasm and strength.

    More details about my language interests
    I speak English fluently and i have worked as an English teacher for a year, working with children 3-12 years old.I have been learning German on and off for the last couple of years, i would say i am begginer/interemediate level (passed B1 exam couple of years ago) and i have a strong wish to continue and improve.For years now, one of my wishes has been to learn Spanish. I love the language the way Spanish people express themselves, the vibe, simplicity and vigor of the language. I strongly believe i would get the hang of it fairly quickly. I know some basic words and expressions.

  • More details about your skills

    I have experience in teaching English
    as a foreign language. My passsion is rock climbing and mountaineering, so i have done some rope access work and love hanging in my harness fiddling with something in a tricky position.
    For a couple of seasons i have worked as an adventure guide in kayaking and cycling.
    I have also worked with a professional team that fixes and puts up awnings and similar constructions.
    I am good with jobs that require physical strength and endurance. Mostly outdoor activities is where i like to be challenged. I would truly love to get the chance to work with tools. I have basic cooking skills which i intend to develop further as i love food, the art of combining tastes.

  • What else ...

    I am a passionate free climber, also anything that hs to do with being in the outdoors, engaged in an activity, any type of sport, survival training, mushroom picking, wild berry picking, wild plant harvesting.
    I love to use the whole day from the sunrise till the sunset, for me night time is for sleeping and recharging ( which doesn;t mean that i dont like an occasional hanging out with dear, vibrant people).
    I love anything that has to do with some kind of tools, materials, especially if it has to do with reusing and repairing stuff. I am looking to divert my life more and more towards achieving zero waste living, empowering back the nature around us and helping people achieve their true potential and self genius.
