About Me

I was traveling around Australia ,New Zealand , Fiji , Cambodia,Thailand, and working in a jazz bar in Sydney from 2012 to 2015.

The last 5 months I was traveling with my boyfriend Peter from Slovakia, in USA,Canada,Mexico,Cuba. So you can find some of the references about me in his profile : https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/topko/references

Now, finallllllllyyyy I'm heading to Europe!! :)

I'm going to Belgium with working holiday visa, but my purpose is to apply a school and study interior design in France or somewhere in Europe next year.

Time is really flexible before the school. The main thing for me now is to meet cool peoples and improve my French!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The first time I use couchsurfing was in LA with my boyfriend in April 2015, It was one of the best experience I got from the trip.

I believe the best thing you can do when you are traveling is to hangout with the locals. They amazed me sometime of what they showing me and taking me to, and I really appreciated that I have only super nice memories and I learned a lot from them!

So happy to meet those smart, funny, open minded peoples and became friends with some of them now still keep in touch.

Interests

Jazz , classic, rock music... to see live bands , be in concerts, or watch shows like musicals or any sort of dance. So I was super excited in Cuba they have such a nice big band with salsa dance at the same time

I learned classical piano from 4 to 14 and drum for 2 years in high school.
I was traveling for the last 3 years so couldn't keep practicing but will start again to learn jazz piano after settle down in Europe.
