My name is Denis, I am 26 years old. I come from Slovakia, but I've been living abroad since 18, first in Denmark and now in the Czech Republic. I work as a creative freelancer and my goal is to develop ideas that are going to change the world. Yeah, I'm a dreamer too :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So why I'm on Couchsurfing? In 2017, me and my friend wanted to backpack through Western Europe, so we created profiles here. Unfortunately, no one was able to host us back then.Pretty miserable times. But I've never stopped believing in this community. And now, as I live in a beautiful spacious flat in central Prague, I would love to host some travelers. Start the cycle from my side, in a way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I LOVE music! Besides trying to make some myself (fingers crossed for me, please), I am always browsing those Spotify playlists! Genres I listen to when I'm feeling - Pumped: heavy metal, metalcore, pop punk, dubstep; Melancholic: alternative rock, indie, emo; Sleepy: piano music, folk
Artist I am vibing to right now (I will update this): Death Cab For Cutie, The Lumineers, Biffy Clyro ❤

Hmm, it's a long time since I've read a good book. Only professional literature, damn it. Can you suggest me something to spend my evenings on? Hint: my favorite genres are sci-fi and fantasy.

Who doesn't like movies? Care to join me watching netflix? Or maybe we can go together to an underground cinema and watch some cult cinematography? Personally, I like movies with a deeper message, so I can spend my time pondering at the end of it. Okay, here are some of my favorite movies by category. Comedy: The Big Lebowski; Drama: American Beauty; Romance: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; Sci-fi: Interstellar. For the rest, you'll have to ask.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Why does it have to be only one thing? Hmm...let's go with spending the night in the notorious bear territory. Me and two of my friends. In a small tent. Actually, it wasn't even spending the night, because we fled before morning to the closest village. Such wimps. I hope the next time we go there, we will muster more courage. But the day was amazing. We hiked the most beautiful mountains I know all the way through, picking forest mushrooms on the way, drinking water from the cleanest stream. Ah, the memories. Hiking, anyone?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you everything about Slovakia, the place I was born and raised, share with you my experience of living and studying in Denmark or show you around the most intriguing places in Prague and speak endlessly about how much I love this city. If you are the adventurous type, I can help you with making your idea stand out and growing it into a business. In my free time I play instruments and produce my own music. I can teach you piano or guitar, or we can jam together if you know how to play.

In turn, I would love to learn about your country and the countries you visited on your travels. I'm a very curious person, so don't hesitate to tell me about your job or the subject of your study. I find all the different activities people do to make a living fascinating. Do you know what would be great? If you could teach me new languages. Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, anything really. I think a language is a beautiful expression of culture and words within it memories of our ancestors.

Bonus: As I finally have a stable income, I am looking for travel buddies to join me on adventures around Europe! If we get along well of course.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Home. Food. Drinks. Warmth. Smile. Stories. But most importantly time, as our paths cross ever so unexpectedly in this forever-changing universe. (Finished this on a high note, I'm proud of myself.)
