About Me

Basically, I'm just a slovak girl who left Slovakia and decided to study in Denmark to gain new knowledge and be more self reliant. :) After finishing my bachelor in Denmark, I have decided to come back to Slovakia and finish my studies here in the capital - Bratislava, where I study environmental management. I am currently doing a PhD in Botany at Slovak Academy of Sciences.
I always want to spend my time constructively, but sometimes I'm just a big procrastinator and I can spend a week being closed in my room watching TV series... But then I want to do something crazy and adventurous and that's why I am here! :) Knowing new people with similar interests is always fun.
In my life I went through many different things and as I grew older, I realized that the meaning of my life is to find inner peace, so I started to focus on the good side of things and I'm also trying to spread positivity and happiness around me. Life is much better with a smile on your face!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always wanted to travel around the world, and I think now it's the right time to start to do so.
I believe travelling gives you such experience as nothing else! I consider it as an important part of my life, and I have the need to explore different cultures, to get to know new people, to gain more knowledge and in the end to make unforgettable memories as well! :)

Movies - Fear and loathing in Las Vegas, Amelie, Detachment, Mysterious skin, Requiem for a dream and of course all of Hayao Miyazaki's masterpieces
Books - Steppenwolf and Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse, Metro 2033, The art of loving, The catcher in the rye

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best volunteering experience I've ever had was during winter 2014 when I started to cook for homeless people under the Food not bombs organization. It was one of the best feelings - to see all the poor people being so thankful for just a bowl of soup.
