About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Whatever journey your path takes you on, the most important thing is to have passion in what you do..."

ABOUT ME

Denmark is a place to be these days...right? Ehm...I am not sure about that, but I live there now and can't complain!:) After few life-changing moments (8 months in Australia, traveling around South-East Asia, offer of dream job...) I have ended up in this Scandi country and so far I can't regret my decision. I could never relate more to my current mission statement than now...I personally believe, that everyone should try to live in another country, travel half of the world and just simply be (most of the time) out of your comfort zone. This experience is super personality strengthening and it can show you who you really are, make you find yourself and never forget it...
Some words about me: lover of travelling, good music, good food, running, sleeping, working hard, listenig of stories, doing nothing, freedom, dreaming and lover of art. But most important thing for me is to feel comfortable with me and not to be influenced much by other people and live my own life as i want.

Recently I have found that I am fed up with my studies and really can't wait to start working, to create some values...(amen)

PHILOSOPHY

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. So get used to being uncomfortable. It won´t kill you...(P.S.: nope it won't kill you, it might leave some scars on your soul and mind, but it is still worth it!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spent beautiful 5 months in US...because of my awsome hosts! Also, I spent few month in Australia couchsurfing and I would never ever in my life exchanged this for some boring hotel/hostel stays. Thanks couchsurfing I met many kind, friendly and helpful people. I would like to tell all amazing hosts, that it was really nice to meet you and spent unforgettable time with you! Hope one day (when I am grown up and finally have my own place, I can pay you back what you gave to me! Priceless!)

Interests

Actually i like everything what I am doing, but my favorite activity it is just absorb all the beauties of the cities i´ve visited, among other things, i am very interested in creative industries (as my study field indicates). Especially in modern art movements and doesn ´t matter if its a music, visual art or design. I thing that it is very important to explore new possibilities, not get stucked in already discovered stuff! Besides this I love skiing, hiking, running, dogs, bad horror movies, bad quality photographs (only disposable camera survived all my travels), good live gigs, beer and ice-cream, sunny days, forests, meadows in the forests, smell of freshly collected blueberries, my family, mountain's fresh air, pubs... What I am trying to avoid: orange color, porcelain dogs, 80's and 90's songs, capsicum, cats, cheap disco bars
