Hi, my name is Marika. Most of the time I am a student of Social Education and Romani Studies at Charles University in Prague. Except for it, I do many other things, like exploring new places (especially cafes and vegan places).
I do lots of volunteering so I always joke I am paid mainly by experience

From my way, I make videos which you can find on my Youtube channel
"Marika Je Všude" or my photos on Zonerama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like travelling and I believe that experiences and meeting people of different nationalities can teach us sometimes more than just books. And it is also a step out of my comfort zone.
