Hello :)
My name is Michelle and I'm from Slovakia - little but beautiful country situated in the Middle Europe.
I'm a student of Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava of the Puppetry department.
Currently I'm studying in Spain as Erasmus student Physical Theatre.
I love theatre, music, nature, books, fantasy literature, art, meeting new people, travelling round the world and adrenaline :)
I like to cross boundaries of my comfort zone - it makes sense to me - I can appreciate more things I usually have all the time.
As a barista I'm a huge lover of coffee and another drinks. I love to make new recipes and try new experiments in gastronomy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to travel the world as much as I can, this is where I'm starting. I love meeting new people, recognising new culture, learning history of the countries and tasting new meals. I love foreigners, I always try to help them. I try to treat people the way I want to be treated :)
To be sincere, hotels are boring, my motivation is bigger than just paying for a nice room with a nice view. So empty...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I'm very demanding to music - I like rock music, psychedelic rock, little bit of grunge music, too. I'm a fan of classical music (Beethoven). I also love jazz and swing music.
Movies - I'm a fan of Marvel movies. All of them! And all the fantasy ones you can imagine :) Another favourite is Fight Club, Tim Burton movies, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc.
Books - any type of fantasy literature is suitable for me - my childhood has been Harry Potter. I like Artemis Fowl, slovak literature, poems (I used to write them too, I just somehow stopped, I don't know why..) and detective stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lafranconi jump - I jumped above the Danube river as a bungee!
Barista course - coffee is my passion and addiction :)
Drank a champaigne on the top of Hollywood hill.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH
I can teach you to cook some type of Slovak cousine, or do some great coffee :)
We can spend an evening playing guitar or ukulele, piano or drums, cajon or djembe it's not a problem :) I DO love musical instruments!
Or rather do some drama? I can teach you some pantomime, or funny exercises, some relaxing techniques, meditation. There is a looooot! :)

LEARN
To cook a new meal or to bake a new cake.
To play another musical instrument or to improve in those I know...maybe some improvisation skills needed! :)
Start to learn a new language and improve my Spanish.
