Overview
About Me
I will just borrow the quote as below:
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the mountains for ever I love.
and my favorite quote by Ray Bradbury
,,See the world. It´s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I met a lot of beautiful people who graciously welcomed me on my travels, therefore I would love to give it back to someone else.
Interests
Always fascinated by mountains and the world. A bookworm and a fan of a dystopian literature and a science fiction.
I like to lose myself in the galleries and museums when it's dangerous to go outside or when I just want to relax. I do yoga every single day.
I enjoy sitting and simply taking in other people's stories. I enjoy traveling because I find people and their own life stories so fascinating and enriching.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
So many! But mainly, if I have an option to choose an easy path, I rather take a difficult one, no matter of the "price".
Mountaineering, climbing and skiing also contribute to my constant sense of aliveness when I step outside of my comfort zone.
Also, the darkness retreat of 7 nights was an unpayable inside experience for the body and mind.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to prepare our traditional Slovak meals and bring closer our culture. Additionally, I would be more than delighted to hike, climb or ski our mountains. Alternatively, we can just have a cup of coffee, chat, and enjoy some hygge moments. Also, I can teach you yoga and different breathing techniques.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Own room with a beautiful view and our time ideally spent on the mountains. And our hilarious cat!
