ABOUT ME

Hey everyone!
My name is Veronika and I come from the Czech Republic, little but very lovely country in the heart of Europe. I finnished my studies of Business management and decided to learn French language, which I always found very cute and sexy. My plan worked very well and I am currently staying in France, Marseille here Im working as au-pair, taking a frencg course, meeting new people and first of all enjoying life!!

I love travelling and meeting new people from all the corners of the world. I believe that interacting with different cultures is the best way how to find who you are and where your place on the Earth is. I have already lived in Canada (great country with awesome people) and Great Britain, where I left piece of my heart too.

I would describe myself as a patient and optimistic person - I always try to see the brighter side of life even it's sometimes almost impossible. I love chatting with people over cup of coffee or a glass of wine (or Czech beer - honestly, Czech beer is the best beer ever ;)

I used to play piano for many many years so although I don't do music anymore, I still enjoy listening to the classical music.

PHILOSOPHY

nothing can express my attitude to life better than my favourite writer Robert Fulghum:

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge-
That myth is more potent than history.
I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts-
That hope always triumphs over experience-
That laughter is the only cure for grief.
And I believe that love is stronger than death..."
