About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Grow as a person and see the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm a Primary and Secondary School Teacher but currently living and travelling around Australia with my partner, Erik. We both like doing sports and we are desperately trying to learn surfing here in Australia.

I love learning about other cultures and countries which is why I like couchsurfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Every possible way: so far I've been couchsurfing and meeting people for a coffee, showing the city around or just writing them on CS if they wanna practice their language skills. All of these are really nice ways to get to know new people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have been couchsurfing in pretty many countries! One of the best experiences was in Switzerland: our hosts were really nice and I really had good time. What else could you say when someone cooks and plays guitar for you? :)

Interests

I love all kinds of sports and I do a lot of sports. Most of all I like winter sports; cross-country skiing, snowboarding/skiing/telemarking and skating are really close to my heart. I also love going to gym, climbing, running, swimming, riding, tennis, badminton, football, floorball and volley ball. I really enjoy doing sports and it's even more fun when you can do it with your friends or achieve something. That's why I like to do cross- country skiing marathons, I loooove them.

I also love music, I couldn't live without it. I play flute and piano myself. Not only I like to play myself, I love to listen music, and if it some cool love music - even better!

I am a vegetarian and I love cooking. I would be happy to cook for our hosts as well :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Haven't watched enough movies.
Can't live without music.
I like reading any books that are based on history and true stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have so many amazing experiences but if I have to choose one it will be my exchange year in Innsbruck, Austria was one of the best experiences I've had! I spent my year snowboarding and cross- country skiing, hiking and of course partying and it was amazing.

Cross- country skiing marathons in Switzerland has also been one of my top 5 things I've done. Other one is when I worked for the Youth Olympic Games in Innsbruck in Jan 2012.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Even though I say it myself but I cook nice vegetarian and vegan food and would be more than happy to cook for our hosts! :)
