CURRENT MISSION
Soon to travel to Finland, yeah! Not accepting couchsurfers for now.

ABOUT ME
As to my travelling CV:
I was born in Slovakia, left when I was 20 to study in Prague (BSc) and then to Netherlands for Erasmus. I stayed longer in NL (Wageningen)- to continue my Master's studies. During studies in NL, I did my internship in Brisbane, Australia (5 months). I used this stay to visit New Zealand during the Christmas holidays. I fell in love with NEW ZEALAND!
I have lived in France for 5 years now.
Currently my new home is in Angers in Pays de la Loire.

I love meeting people, getting to know new cultures.
Discovering places trough people that live there is amazing to me.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't do to others what you don't want from others to do to you.

Knowledge decreases the fear (of uknown).

"He who conquers himself is the mightiest warrior."
- Confucius

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like meeting new (interesting, nice, lovely) people of different nationalities and origins. I like to get to know, understand abd sometimes experience the new countries, the people that live there, the landscapes, the life styles (including food!). I also like helping people. Finally, I find it great that I might be able to express and use these interests trough CS.

Surfed for the first time at Birmingham - Lucy's, Vangelis's and Richard's beautiful house.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decided to finally learn something I wanted to do in life: Applied, got accepted and then followed a 2-year study program of jewellery-making (goldsmthing)in Brittany, France.

Staying in New Zealand (only 3 weeks), and fell in love with the country and the landscape.

Living in "Binnenhaven" house during Erasmus stay in NL, full of international students (cca 50 people) and having great time exploring the wonderful people and their way of being. It became my second home.
