📗🎓 I studied technology of food in high school. I wasn't too keen on that, so I subsequently chose a higher professional school focused on social work. I graduated in 2020 and successfully completed my Bachelor's degree at university in the same field in 2023. In addition, I studied 21st century marketing by distance learning.

🎤 Since 2018 I do travel lectures / stand-ups in cinemas, theatres and schools, where I talk about my travels abroad. I've also started blogging, doing Instagram and flying a drone. I started working for a huge company where I am the editor-in-chief of a travel website, a travel magazine and organize travel festivals.

🛼🤿 My whole life has been about sport. I've been roller skating since I was 3 years old. In recent years, I've mostly enjoyed snorkeling, light mountain climbing.

*** 2022 - backpacking 4 months in Mexico and USA under 7 kg ***

*** 2023 - backpacking 9 months in Central and South America ***

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's easy. I love traveling and this is a big community for people with the same hobby. I can host people, get some new information, try and learn something new. Because of Couchsurfing I could to try true Japanese sushi, Indian Dhal, I talked with a champion biker and runner. And especially I have so many friends now!

Interests

✈️ Traveling, traveling, traveling - I wanna see all the world! During my travel years I lost many my friends because they did not like to travel BUT I met many more new great friends with a same hobby.

⛸ Rollerblading - I started when I was 3 y.o. , I also spent a lot of time in skateparks.

📹 Photographies and videos - take a photos and videos and edit them. It's actually little bit my job now. I use GoPro 9 and Niceboy action camera. I love to take underwater shots! Also I bough a drone.

📚 Books - yeah, my favorite hobby. My favorite book is Harry Potter and I read the final part of book 17 times :D. Anyway I am in love with travel books where I can get some inspiration.

🎬 Movies - yeeeah, I saw over 1,500 movies in my life and still going on. I write references, biographies, and interesting information for movies. Most often I watch biopics, interesting and original comedies, dramas. I don't need horror movies, thrillers and musicals.

🙏🏻 Volunteering - I volunteered during my school studies and I loved that. Actually I volunteer for more than 6 years (also in abroad). I have experience with dog sitting, house cleaning and organization, drilling and screwing shelves, cooking and more. My fondest memories are of volunteering in Boston, where I spent two weeks.

🥑 Food - potatoes (fried, cooked, baked, all kinds!...), spinach, bolognese spaghetti, goulash.

🏄‍♀️ Paddleboarding - the most beautiful place where I paddleboarded was in Mexico in Los Rapidos and in Croatia

🎲 Board games/ card games - Ticket please, Dobble, Patchwork, Harry Potter, some quiz games

🎮 PSP/PS 5 games - Crash Bandicoot, Pac-man, Tarzan, Donald Duck, Tekken, GTA

🌵Grow up cactuses in my home (even they little bit die)

✉️ Collecting postcards from abroad, have from every country which I visited. I collect from my journeys only postcards and small alcohol traditional bottles.

👒 Love Boho style - sombreros, macrame, hammocks.

❌ Minimalism - I am used to travel with one backpack for months. I don't need material stuff. Always under 7 kilograms! I also try to limit my stuff at home and don't buy unnecessary stuff.

🔍 Geocaching - looking for hidden items. The longest time I searched for a cache was in Guatemala - over 3 hours on a busy street between cars.

🗒️ Spreadsheets, diaries - I love the system (I'm a bit of a perfectionist), spreadsheets with budgets and plans, that's mine!
