I am Slovak currently living in Bethesda, MD since June 2014, where I am working in medical research field. I live alone in one bedroom apartment but it is still big enough for more people :).
I traveled quite a lot in past in Europe and I like to meet new people and get to know new places and cultures. I love to taste new experiences (and food :)) and love baking, music, laughing, reading, people, animals...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like meeting new people and new cultures and I love traveling and exploring new places. I am looking for place I can stay while visiting different towns and countries, I want to meet new people and experience the real soul of the town/country through people who live there. I also want to offer people a safe, clean, affordable, and friendly place to stay while exploring Maryland and DC area. And when I am back to Slovakia, I would be happy to host you there :).

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmm, I can teach you where the Hear of Europe - Slovakia is and can teach some funny and some very useful words in Slovak language in case you are planning to visit this part of Europe :). Or can teach how to prepare or share with you some of our food/cakes, can show you how to decorate gingerbreads in European/Slovakian style... Share some funny stories from travels and life... Learn something about you, your culture, life philosophy...
