I am Julia from Slovakia. I am currently a student, I am doing my Bachelor's in Computer Science. I volunteer and work with kids and youth. In my spare time, when I don't need to do assignments for school, I like to go for a jog, cook something, draw myself a little picture , read an interesting book, or hang out with friends. When I'm off school for a longer time I love to spend some time abroad, in the best case just with a backpack, or do a couple-of-days hike in our beautiful Slovak mountains.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling, because it broadens one's mind to see other cultures and different ways of living. I believe it is important for people, especially in these times, not to be closed inside themselves but rather create a dialog with others, because only that way they can find what kind of wonders this world hides. I think Couchsurfing is an amazing opportunity for people to meet and share and enrich one another. It is great to be part of a community of people who are open and unafraid and willing to some service to others.
