About Me

I am a nature lover. After finishing university I spend some years in almost wild nature. It was unbelievable experience.. Later I felt that the time here is over and I have to come back to share what I have learned. Now I a living in small village doing my big and small things, growing vegetables, singing folk songs, dancing, organizing summer camps, making herbal tea, creating eco school, helping the others and myself.
I do yoga and meditation. Alcohol and smoking are not my friends, but I think that everybody has a right to choose.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing is not a way to find a place to sleep abroad. It the way to meet the friends all over the world which I could not met in other way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've used CS while staying in Germany, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Spain, France, Cyprus... I met really nice people and some of them became my real friends. I could have lost them if i were staying in the hostels or camping. CS help me to see a real life of real people. I like the real things (if there is any :))

I also had a some couchsurfers in my home. Some of them became my real friends.
