Raised in eastern Europe (Slovakia), I did my university studies in Denmark where I lived for the past 9 years. Landed a pretty cool job in San Diego in January 2022. Still new in town, weekends are spent outdoors hiking, or on road trips exploring southern California.

Into simple pleasures: hiking, running, classic literature, starting with calisthenics, traveling/exploring new places (of course!).

Current mission: I wouldn't call it a mission, but I love my job as a product designer. Currently at comma.ai / previously: bemyeyes.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"Hosting people is like traveling without leaving your home." – Couch-surfing is a great place! I have hosted a few people back in our house in Aarhus, Denmark. It was a wonderful experience to meet so many people with different backgrounds and stories to tell.
