About Me

CURRENT MISSION

mission for this week - waiting in the queue obviously :D (its the week of culture in Italy, free entrances to all the museums ;) )

ABOUT ME

:) I spent a while by thinking how can I possibly squeez "all about me" on my CS profile.. however after some consideration (understand 15 minutes of thoughtless staring on the "all about me" window :D ) I decided to leave writing of my biography for someone else, once when I am rich and famous ;)

But to introduce myself a bit:

... from my friends point of view (things they mostly use to say about me): optimistic, relaxed, crazy, open minded, friedly, easy going, irresponsible, always late, having head in the clouds, energic/lazy, intelligent/stupid, funny, ironic, talkative, sociable..

... from my subjective point of view: I like to agree especially with the nice characteristics.. :P ;)

... from the objective point of view: I am really often late (however really trying to be on time!! O:) ) and sometimes also a bit too irresponsible, often doing things last minute, which many times brings me to kinda unpleasant situations.. on the other hand also brings whole bunch of great stories to tell later.. ;)

I come from western part of Slovakia and study medicine in Prague, Czech republic.. and a few years ago I fall in love with travelling, which is why I registered on CS right after I heared about it from my friend.. :)

Right now I live in Florence and I am ERASMUS ... and of course I could write much more... but maybe lets rather meet and talk in person.. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

If your problem has a solution then why worry about it? If your problem doesnt have solution then why worry about it? -Chinese Proverb

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was hosted once during my stay in Rio de Janeiro and it was really a very nice experience :) With my host Felipe we became friends and I even got an opportunity to host him afterwards in Slovakia during the summer holidays :) I also hosted some people during my first ERASMUS in Copenhagen.. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I dont have much experience, but so far was only positive :)

Interests

travelling, languages, people, reading, partying, dancing, going to sauna, listening to the live jazz music, inside bouldering (tried it just a few times with my friends before left to Italy, but really liked and definitely would like to continue :) ), going to festivals, spending time with my friends and family, (plus, watching all kinds of series at the time when I have to study.. :P ) and I would also really like to learn snowboarding, scuba diving, swing dancing and playing saxophone in future..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

spent 3 days in Rio de Janeiro and saw the view from Corcovado and Pao de Acucar, watched sunrise on Amagerstrand in Copenhagen, watched sunset on piazzale Michelagelo in Firenze, visited pilot cabine during the flight, tasted home made saltibarsciai and cepelinai in Lithuania, lived in Denmark for half a year, started to learn Italian...

Teach, Learn, Share

As a person I am very curious and craving for all the new information about everything ... so always thankfull for any new knowledge or skill, that someone can teach me.. :)

I can bring with me slovak sheep cheese (bryndza) and teach you how to cook national slovak dish(bryndzove halusky) or I can teach you how to cook sushi, or to make some of our typical drinks.. I can also explain and show you how to make a proper shoulder masage (have an official course with certificate from my school) or if someone is interested I can explain him how to give a proper first aid too.. ;) :D

Also for my trips I use to always bring with me something typical from Slovakia or from Czech republic, usually it is food or drinks (slivovica, becherovka, tatransky caj) and of course I am very happy to share them.. ;)
