About Me

I'm a woman and a mother. For someone that could be explanation enough right there ;) For those who need more info, I'm a non-smoker and I don't drink alcohol and that's what I expect of others in my home. I'm not very chatty (depends on the person and the topic). I like visiting new places, especially by water, prefer cold to heat, and doing some activities, not very good at sunbathing.. This summer I tried white water rafting and canyoning in Slovenia. I separate rubbish (and try to persuade my bf to believe in it) and exercise (regularly-irregularly ;) ).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to see new places. There's so much that I haven't seen or done. I have my dreams and one day, they should be fulfilled. Couchsurfing might be a new travelling alternative for me, but also for others. Travelling is a new discovery for me of finding a great satisfaction and other positive "things". And, meeting new people can bring new experiences to me and my family, too. (Even the bad ones.) They say that it is not so much about the places, it's more about the people. And I can justify that. When I cycled in Austria, people were extremely friendly and helpful and that's what made the greatest impression on me.

Cycling trip on my own.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not me, but can take you to try hand-making of potery, or take you to my school with lots of hungry teenagers.. ;) but after they are fed they're not so bad.. ;) you could tell them all about your travelling experiences, couchsurfing, present your country and they could do vice versa, present Slovakia and themselves to you. Maybe they would take you for a beer after the lessons. ;) (after that, no program guaranteed.. ;)
I could take you cycling or just for a walk. Or to see our local children's dance group of traditional dances. There's also a castle here. If not enough school, our local primary school could fight for you too, to get our children see and hear some "English speaking alien" from another country and to open their Slovak android eyes.
