Nature, FOOD (cheese cheese cheese), Music, Books (emphasis on the plural)

Heyy,
My name is Barbora, and I'm from the small country of Slovakia 🇸🇰💕 :)

As life goes on, my curiosity for the world grows. Now I have quite a different view than in the past; now I feel more determined to leave my comfort space and see and do new things.
I love learning about new cultures and hearing stories about people's whereabouts, and I am looking forward to upcoming connections through my life journey 🌐✨

I like pets - I have a dog called Vaduz, fish, and plants (yes, they do require a lot of work also) 🐶🐠🌿; I used to have a rabbit, parrot or walking sticks.

I had many jobs while studying, such as an animator in a hotel, bartender,
and I also used to be a ski instructor for mostly kids in the Malá Fatra mountains 🎿. It could be a very stressful experience, as one may guess, from handling kids in big groups, but of course, it was very rewarding. It gave me a sense of importance as I knew that I was giving kids something and they may remember the skills learnt and maybe even me, myself. While working as an animator and ski instructor, I loved the part of creating memories and having an impact on people's lives.

And most recently, I did Erasmus in Zagreb, and I think this experience just ignited the fire in me to keep exploring!!

I generally prefer Nature. City life can be tiring, too busy, and fast, right? I prefer the outdoors, being in nature rather than being in a cafe or indoors 🌳. Walking, Hiking, Swimming, Camping, Riding a bicycle, Reading books while lying in a hammock, Watching stars at night, Dancing and just relaxing in nature. 🌟🌲

Looking forward to connecting with you! 😊💫

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm curious, I always heard about it from friends and now I'm interested in trying for myself. I feel like you can get a little slice of the "real life" of a person, see how the locals live and just to know another person better.
And I also hope I can share some of my culture with them :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, it could be everything, isn’t it? From life, culture, and experiences.
I want to dab a bit in the Portuguese language, but in general, I'm up for any kind of new knowledge! Currently I'm working on improving myself and understand the purpose of living, so you can give me your opinion and understanding :)
