Hey!
My name is Dunja (feel free to call me Iva if it's easier for you haha).
I'm half Slovak, half Macedonian. A teaching student as of September. I also teach English in an academy in Bratislava. It might seem like I'm all about that teacher life but I actually want to get into med school, I just didn't study hard enough last year.
To keep me sane in this whirlwind of responsibilities I like to mix it up by going on spontaneous little vacations, hiking, skating, singing and learning as much as I can every single day.
I like all kinds of concerts and parties and can dance both the night and morning away.
I also try to be politically active for I believe that in order for democracy to work everyone has to play their part even if it's the "insignificant" role of a mere citizen.
Ecologically friendly diet (mostly plant based)
In the belief that sharing is beautiful, I am grateful to any and all who will share their home with me.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I usually don't plan my vacations aka I don't really have the budget to get hotels and I absolutely hate Airbnb for the impact they have on the locals so this seems like the best way to go.
Bonus: I get to meet the locals and not steal their houses and skyrocket their rents!

音乐、电影和书籍

MUSIC
I don't really have favourite bands or artists since I adore almost all music. Anything from classical like Satie, Liszt to Nils Frahm to classical like Guns and Roses, AC/DC, Pink Floyd or ABBA and The Smiths. From the current musical production I prefer indie and electronic music but I won't sit still listening to some good rap.
MOVIES
John Hughes movies will forever be my biggest comfort, otherwise I'm fairly uneducated in this region (open to suggestions and lectures)
BOOKS
I mostly read textbooks but when I get a chance I like classic Slovak literature from the early 19th century.
The only writer I can say I like, because I've read enough of this books and actually remember that he wrote them is Paulo Coelho who for some reason gets a lot of (imo unnecessary) hate.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I went on a three week vacation to Slovenia and Italy, that I payed for all by myself, at the tender age of 17.

教，学，和分享

I am an official English teacher and speak a few languages... I can also teach you how to sew a button on.
I like to learn a bit of the local language whenever and wherever I travel.

I can cook and share jokes, food, wine, random animal fun facts, music recommendations and smiles.
