I'm from Bratislava, Slovakia, but I have also lived in Poland and currently live in the Czech Republic. I love exploring new places and escaping the mundaneness of day-to-day life.

*Important* info about BRNO:
If you want to visit the Tugendhat Villa, you'll need a ticket 3-4 months in advance. Official site: https://www.tugendhat.eu/en/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a perfect way to actually get to know the country you're visiting. I hate touristy "attractions" along with fancy hotels that all look the same. It also allows me to host other at home so that I can show them my way of life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hitchhiked along the Dead Sea in 42+ C;
being hated by the local public transit ticket inspectors for telling confused tourists they don't have to pay fines which the inspectors often achieve through semi-legal ways...;
obnoxiously listing more than "one amazing thing" (aren't I amazing?) :P
