Hello everyone,

I'm a 28-year-old guy originally from Slovakia but currently living in Athens who loves to travel on a budget, see new places and meet new people!

Besides, I've lived shortly also in Ljubljana, Berlinand Rome.

I enjoy discovering more alternative sides of the cities, e.g. Jewish quarters, alternative or immigrant neighborhoods, places with great street art, stuff like that. I prefer to see how people in the city really live, not only the touristic sights which I already may know from pictures or videos.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I consider it to be an amazing chance to meet interesting people and make new friends.

I like Christopher Nolan, Tim Burton, Phillip Kaufmann, M. Forman, P. Jackson, Sam Mendes, among others.

I enjoy watching documentaries a lot.

Books: Brave New World, LOTR, Terry Pratchett, Oscar Wilde, Nietzsche, H. P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, Orwell, P. Pulmann, Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and the list goes on.

A note: My job requires a lot of reading every day and because of that I like to take a break sometimes, for the sake of my eyes. Because of that, I don't read quite as much as I would like to.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will share the words of great Carl Sagan:
