***FOR BANSKÁ BYSTRICA VISITORS***
It looks like most CS users coming to my region intend to visit Banská Bystrica. You can reach my home from there quite easily - by regional bus (runs 12 times a day, ca. 1:15 hrs. ride, ticket purchase on board) or by Flixbus route Krakow - Budapest (runs 3 times a day).

I am 27 y. o. guy from Ružomberok, Slovakia. I spent 2016-2021 in Prague studying at CTU, from 2022 I'm employed in transport engineering sphere.

I would describe myself as easygoing, positively thinking, flexible, curious, funny man, who lives pretty active life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that Couchsurfing is the best possibility for people, who try getting to know different countries. Nothing is better than time spent with locals.
It's also wonderful opportunity to meet people with similar interests and share ideas and experiences.
This community already gave me soo many amazing memories and I hope more are about to come.

In 2015 I backpacked around Europe with my brother. We crossed Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France and finally through Switzerland back to Austria and home. It was nice experience not only because of sightseeing, but also thanks to many nice people, who I had a pleasure to meet. And this was also the chance to experience CS for the first time. Thanks to Philip and Agatha from Basel it was unforgettable. Year later they visited us in Slovakia and in 2021 we visited them again. They even introduced us to Agatha's wonderful parents living in the Alps, whom I visited three times since then.

This experience made me fall in love with CS and I've used it many times since then and meet many inceedible people. From 2023 I finally have more space in my place so I slowly started paying the community back what I already recieved. You'll be very welcomed!

Interests

My biggest obsession is sport. Sport in general, but mainly table tennis. From my early years I've been playing various regional competitions. Besides it I love bedminton, volleyball, football and tennis.

For last 3 years I started enjoying trail running in our wonderful mountains. It's so cool to combine sport performance with those picturesque views. :) And it allows you to do such crazy things like running to the summit of a mountain to watch sunset or to make 3-days hike in 1 day. :-) I do also cycling, hiking and another outdoor activities. In winter I prefer skitouring and skialpinism. Follow #Martin Kameniar on Strava (https://www.strava.com/athletes/55913125)
