About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Get the most out of my 10 months volunteering project in Uruguay:
enjoy every day - learn Spanish - dance Tango - make true friends - travel around and last but not least - be the most entertaining English teacher in Montevideo.

Welcome to my profile.

ABOUT ME
I am a curious person, trying to walk trough life with eyes wide open and fast judgments shut.

I love contemporary dance, because it's an art beyond words that resonates with me.
I love yoga, because it teaches me self-discipline, trains my strongwill and does good to my body and mind.
I love cooking, because I like to eat good..... :) And because it's the most practical way to share your love and express your creativity I have found so far.
I love traveling because it is fun, it cultivates my personality and creates unforgettable moments and adventures.
I love learning languages and riding bike. For no reason.

I am a typical example of " 30 is the new 20" statement in my career life. In other words, I am still in the search for "my place". I try to do things that carry a social aspect, because it makes me feel that I am not just profiting but also contributing to the society. That's why I am a part of an integrated dance company "Len Tak Tak" for people with and without physical dissabilities in Bratislava, Slovakia.

PHILOSOPHY

At the end of the day, your feet should be dirty, your hair should be messy and your eyes sparkling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For experience of places from the INSIDE. For the new friends that are waiting for me there. For connections. For generosity. For affordability. For fun.

Interests

As I am curious by nature, I want to try almost everything. But what I got stick to is dance (mainly contemporary and tango), yoga (Vinyasa and Iyengar), cooking (possibly healthy and simple), hiking, biking, skiing, swimming. I am interested in ayurveda although I dont manage to follow its instructions completely:P

I also read, spend a plenty of time with my dog Dalí, go to music festivals, concerts, theatres etc.
