About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Carry me caravan, take me away!

ABOUT ME

I am a person who enjoys little daily occurrences as well as adventures.

I love observing various ethical habits. I try to live for the moment with certain boundaries, trying not to waste time by watching TV, arguing, gossiping or useless planning.

A bit from everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

I´m a person who loves everything about travelling, seeing extraordinary or common places (as far as they are new for me)and exchanging experiences and with other people.

I´m interested in art and culture(I´m a kind of observer who trys to catch the inspiration and understand the essence of every little thing),

philosophy (it doesn´t equal only reading a lot of books but also listen to human beings and try to grow together with different surroundings).

books (it´s impossible what things can one experience while reading!)

writing (not only because it´s my school subject, it´s simply my hobby)

nature (it gives me energy)

music (it´s also a great way of communication)

photography (to keep something in mind, to see things from the other side).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biking through the Netherlands in November (we stayed 3 nights in a tents!)
Walking from the center of Strasbourg to our hotel in Kehl at night (I did it five times during the night, in a very uncomfortable shoes)
Wasting a full box of matches for lighting up one cigarette in San Francisco.
Going out for a beer after not sleeping 24 hours.

Teach, Learn, Share

I´m able to show beautiful places to the visitors of Slovakia not only nature but also little wine bars well,they look far away from the French ones :-)) and pubs which I like going to not only in my hometown.
I can make very nice looking dreadlocks (even from the straight hair).
I can teach people the basics of photography.
I can teach you recognizing monsters out of the beer foam.
I want to learn how to play the bassguitar (I have one at home, but I would need a good and patient teacher).
I wish I knew how to cook...I´m getting better step by step, but I´m still interested in watching people while cooking.
I also wish I knew Spanish (and also any other languages, but first of all German and then also Spanish).
