Hello! My name is Nataša and I am a student from Slovakia who loves traveling. I consider myself to be a friendly and a talkative person who has many interesting topics to talk about. I have just graduated from high school and got accepted to Charles University in Prague where I am going to study the Chinese language, but I also love the East Asia as a whole. I will be looking forward to meeting all of you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people from all around the world, learning about their cultures but also introducing my own country to them. Learning languages is something I have been fond of ever since I could remember, and Couchsurfing gives me an opportunity to improve my speaking ability.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

By the age of 17 I have already passed 3 difficult language exams, 2 levels of the JLPT japanese exam and CAE the english exam. I own 3 language certificates now, JLPT N4, N3 (japanese)and C1 (english). I consider this to be one of my biggest achievements.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very passionate about playing quite a few musical instrumets (guitar,flute,violin,clarinet,ukulele and so on) so I would gladly learn how to play some new pieces or teach you the ones I already know.
