I am a girl from Slovakia, who is currently living in Montevideo and is working as a volunteer teacher of the English language. I´m curious about Uruguay, aboout its people and its culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me Couchsurfing is not a way how to travel on low budget at the first place. Because it is really much more. It is a great way how to meet locals and make new friends, a way how to get to know new places, new cultures. And that is much more important - at least for me! I traveled with Couchsurfing in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and this experience was incredible! Maybe I was lucky but I met a lot of really nice people -people who let me in their homes, who gave me a place to sleep, who spent time with me, who showed me around, who shared their stories and experiences with me. What else could I wish? So, basically, this is a reason why I´m on Couchsurfing. :)

Interests

I like meeting new people, getting to know new places, trying new things. I also like music, latinamerican dances - only to watch, I don´t know dance them :), taking pictures, watching movies and learning foreign languages.
