About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to be a star, not a falling leaf...

ABOUT ME

I´m a curious person, who loves travelling, meeting new people and learning from them. I wish to live a life I am proud of.

And I really wanna grow my own food one day! or at least some of my food... wish me luck! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing happens at random...

And I like the slogan of my Korean friend "ehh, I just let it be" so I´m trying to be a calm and patient person, but it´s a big fight :)

"I believe happiness can only be found inside. Happiness isn't found in human relationships. God placed the source of happiness all around us." Chris McCandless.

"Most people are like a falling leaf, which is blown and is turning around through the air, and wavers, and tumbles to the ground. But others, a few, are like stars, they go on a fixed course, no wind reaches them, in themselves they have their law and their course." H. Hesse - Siddharta

The world is like a book. Who doesn´t travel, stays on the same page forever. (St. Augustine)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to idea of helping each other in a fun intercultural way.

Interests

travelling, music - piano, dancing (especially slovak folk dance), drawing, reading, history, photogpraphy, baking - yummeee, knitting and I love hiking and running!!!
I am also learning meditation and I am interested in Buddhist philosphy.
I love to sit at the river and watch how it passes.
I love, that it is "all times the same and yet new in every moment".
