Overview
About Me
I´m a friendly, helpful, enjoying-the-life person. My friends would have say "pocket size girl ". I work as a doctor, so my free time shrank a lot, but it doesn't affect my activities. I love biking, snowboarding, hiking, the views and the nature ..... all outdoor activities in general, so I try to spend as much time as possible outside in nature. I definitely adore dance (3 yrs member of showdance group) and exploring new countries.
I believe in destiny and as is it said in my favorite book (Mexican wave from Maxim E. Matkin): Life is like a mexican wave. Everything you've ever done and have given to someone, will somehow come back to you from another one and will affect you as the mexican wave comes always back.
Current mission
1. Learn to play a guitar
2. Explore Slovakia and Czechia by bike
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
WHAT I CAN OFFER
I would love to meet new people thanks to CS and to get to know their "story" , to share our different cultures and stereotypes. I could show you the region and pinpoint the best places to see and visit.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've discovered couchsurfing community during my Erasmus in Finland, and you know, erasmus alone can change you a lot, and it did side by side with couchsurfing together, indeed. I tried local cuisine, learnt how to play flip cup tournament, experienced real sauna safari, Vappu!..by the way the best time to visit Finland. My stay was so intense that when I came back I joined ESN (exchange student network) and organised events and trips for international students in my city,I did also an exchange in France, where I did CS as well,traveled and got to know many people with great stories. So this interaction between total strangers in the beginning, get to know each other and maybe try something crazy or new is the real reason of me on CS !
Interests
Exploring the landscape, literature,biking, snowboarding, dancing, barbecue. I love a view from the top of mountains, riversides or lakes (as there is plenty of them in the region Im currently in ). I favor open air festivals, jazz concerts, or slovak ska concerts to just stay at home . I always wanted to play an instrument (guitar and drums especially) but I ve never learnt....just the basic of guitar.
