CURRENT MISSION
I want to spend every day by making somebody happier so I will never have to regret what I have done that day.

ABOUT ME
I am a project manager in ESET, company that develops security software. I would describe myself as a very active person (sometimes too active ) who always have to do something. Of course, most of my time I spend in work, however after work I really like to practice activities like salsa dancing, squash, fitness workout or just go to theatre/cinema and read a nice book.

I have graduated in Management at the Comenius University, Slovakia. During my studies I was living for half a year in Denmark using Erasmus student exchange program and another 2 months an internship in Moscow (Russia). I had amazing time and it was valuable experience to learn about other countries.

I love all kinds of sports, especially hiking and other adrenaline activities. And of course I would never give up on my family or friends so I spent with them a lot of my free time.

I am living in our capital city Bratislava, where I am also working now. Originally I am from a small town called Levice.

PHILOSOPHY
My philosophy can be described by these mottoes:
1. Life is a colorful cocktail of activities, people, feelings, thoughts and they taste best when all blend together. (Nikoleta)

2. Good communication has as stimulating effects as coffee does and it is as difficult to fall asleep after. (Anne Morrow Lindbergh)

3. The past teaches us how to live the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Firstly, I was couchsurfing with my friends few years ago in Moscow and Minsk (Belarus). We met amazing and really nice hosts. I also attended several CS meetings in Bratislava and stayed for a few days in Tomas´s (CS friend) house. As of now, I am not able to directly host any couchsurfers but my good friend Gabriela has many international guests and I often go out with them. I find it very enriching and perfect way to explore new cultures and meet interesting people.
