Hello lovely people, welcome to my profile. My name is Marian, I'm a medical doctor 👨‍⚕️ specializing in the internal medicine (I would be surprised, if you knew, what I do - but basicaly - I do it ALL - heart, lungs, stomach, kidneys etc. mainly conservatively with tablets).
My lovely wife Zuzana is expert at Railway transport 🚅 and currently studying PhD. (she also wants to be a doctor 🤣) Her CS profile: https://couchsurfing.page.link/yu1kgCqx1GSAHJTb9

We are keen cyclists🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏼‍♀️, but let's specify it: we are mainly using BICYCLE 🚲 as a form of transport. We commute by bike, doing grocery, visting family, going out or to concert.
We also want to stay fit and strong, we like to train hard in the mountains and hills, fighting against wind and everything, that awaits you on the road.
We are also bike travellers 🚵 (and that's maij reason, why you are reading this profile):
We started to travel by bike at 2017, we cycled 192km, climbed 1800m and spent 4 days in wine region of Tokaj (beautiful region close to our hometown). We liked it so much and since then we travelled every year at least once by bicycles. Here is a list of our Bike-travels:

We started to travel by bicycle as students and didn't have much money and REALLY wanted to save money. But after a short moment we understood this community : It's about sharing. What one gives you, he will recieve back from other person. We still love to stay with interesting local people, eat local food and see, how different are peoples' lives not so far away from our home.

We are open-minded, flexible, talkative (even thoug travelling all the day on the bike). We want to listen it ALL: stories, experiences, memories and recommendations. We want to enjoy local food with a little bit of wine and beer. Warm shower and comfy bed is all we need.

Your sincerely, Marian&Zuzana

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to travel by bicycle through Europe countries and we just don't want to stay all the time at hotels, but want to be with locals, enjoy food, stories and everything else with some beautiful people from this Community.

Providing shelter for travelers (especially bike-travellers) enlighten our day-to-day life. We are very welcoming and sharing. And also we are giving bsck, what we got from others.
