My name is Maria Kacalova (friends call me Majka) and I am from small village in Slovakia- Velky Saris. I am almost 19 years old student on high school. I have big loving family and many good friends. I love any kind of sport to do but the most I love tennis because I have been playing it for 14 years and I can say that I am doing that sport professionally. I also played on piano for 9 years. I like traveling either with my family or with my friends. I was in US for 10 months as an exchange student and it was the best 10 months in my life, so I can say that I can speak english and I am learning spanish 4th year. I also like to make handmade stuff like necklaces, bracelets, earrings or just small presents for my friends. Also love baking cakes mostly birthday cakes for anybody and cooking just for fun. I also work as a waitress in my dad's cafeteria and I worked as a cleaner in my dad's company also. So that's me :) I would like to travel because it's awesome opportunity to see the world and meet new people.
