We are a couple trying to live simple but happy life: less stuff and rubbish, more experiences, less city, more nature, less tv, more books, less unnatural products, more veggies, less buying, more doing, less rushing, more being...

✓ We are both learning Spanish, so if you speak Spanish we'll be willing to practice ;)
✓ At home - only vegetarian food.
✓ Please write us no earlier than a week prior to your planned arrival - we don't plan very far in advance so otherwise we don't know where we'd be and cannot neither confirm nor decline your request...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that hosting and staying with others encourage mutual inspiration. It's a way to learn from each other, to have new insights into life, to see lifestyles that otherwise would be impossible to see.

Interests

YOGA. I have been practicing it for about six years and I have become a yoga teacher as well. Yoga practice has changed things in my life and it has a big impact on my personality and lifestyle.

NATURE. I love beeing outdoors and staying active. Hiking, camping, riding bicycle, canoeing, skiing, orienteering - any way of moving and being in the nature makes me happy.

LANGUAGES. While traveling and talking with others about languages I noticed my love for them. I am interesting in learning different languages, in linguistics, in the wisdom that we can find analyzing different languages.

For the times when I slow down and spend some time just staying at home, I like READING, doing various HANDICRAFTS, SEWING, COOKING and CLEANING (haha, really, that's true!).

I have spent over 3 years volunteering in Emotional Support Line and I am still interested in PSYCHOLOGY, emotions and feelings of humans and how they impact our decisions and actions. Getting into this area has also led me to the interest of ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION, PARENTHOOD, MOTHERHOOD.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2016 I quit my job and started to live without any fixed plans. I went to travel and I spent 10 month on the road, passing Guatemala, Colombia and Ecuador. Shortly after returning home I decided to become a yoga teacher, so I went for a month of training in India and after the course I traveled a little in India. I came back to my home country without any plans, but after a few months I started studying Spanish Philology. At the same time I found a man of my dreams and started creating the harmonious relationship. So life slowly (or maybe quickly) goes on and I continue to live with the trust and faith and wait with curiosity what's coming next :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Overall, I want to learn to live, to expand the horizons of my mind and to encourage the same in others. I guess the best way to do that is to talk talk talk about everything that matters and maybe not. However, I can also teach some yoga, English language, maybe some handicrafts, maybe some cooking, I will be happy to share traveling tips and experiences.
