Overview
About Me
I am 29 year old geography teacher. Currently I teach geography at Gymnazium Ceska in Bratislava. Surprisingly, so far I like it.
I love travelling, discovering new places, meeting new people. I really like travelling to countries, places that are still unspoiled by money and mass tourism. I am really passionate about travelling and hiking in mountains.
Besides travelling abroad every summer I am also organising "travel evenings" in my former University, where various people are presenting there adventures around the world.
I like many sports, from football, ultimate frisbee, in-line hockey to florbal. Last few years florbal wins.
PHILOSOPHY
- It's not enough to just live. You have to have something to live for.
- If you can dream it, you can do it.
- It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
So far I cannot really provide accomodation, but I will work on that in the future. But I can show you round in Bratislava, or maybe even somewhere else in Slovakia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I am proud I was part of International Student Union while being erasmus student in Norway (2011). As a "trip coordinator" I was organizing trips for international students. Besides that as a member of this organization I was helping to organize various other events and I was just great.
