About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to find my current mission

ABOUT ME

I'm 24 year-young Slovak student based in Prague currently studying public finance, taxation and tax policy at the University of economics in Prague. I really do love music, travelling, food, hanging out with friends, meeting up with new people, enjoying my life seeking unforgettable moments in everyday life :)

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Considering myself as a CS greenhorn I'd like to start as a surfer and gain experiences piece by piece with couchsurfing community i.e. you :) anytime you need a shelter or just to hang out do not hesitate to let me know, if circumstances allow I can become your companion (and even your guide) :) Hope it will gradually change for better

Interests

I discovered a passion in skiing and mountains in recent years, so that I´m trying every winter season to spent as much time on slopes as I possibly can. During summer holidays I´m always open to hike trips either in the Slovakian High Tatras or somewhere abroad. Another inseparable part of my summer are open-air music festivals with all my great friends around enjoying gigs, beers and having a great time and memories year after year :)

maybe you would never say that I like classical music by Chopin or Mozart too :)

I guess I liked The Catcher In The Rye by J.D.Salinger the most, besides that some compulsory literature about public finance and the role of government, taxation, etc. and some bestsellers of course

definitely not a movie geek (so here follow the classics): Into The Wild, Apocalypto, almost all movies with Tom Hanks, movies directed by Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino
one of my favs is Happythankyoumoreplease (for those who liked Ted Mosby in HIMYM)
