Hey there! I'm Michaela, and I'm proud of my roots and the country I come from, but it was traveling that truly opened my eyes to how fortunate we really are. I absolutely adore the people around me and cherish every encounter with someone new, even if they live on the other side of the world. Meeting diverse souls brings fresh perspectives and opens up entirely new dimensions of understanding.

Sports:
Sports are a huge part of my life. I was a pro skier for a years. Currently, I study at the Faculty of Sports, which I am passionate about, constantly seeking to expand my knowledge. In the Czech Republic, where I study, I also coach sprint kayaking. Last year, my friend and I met during our Erasmus in Croatia and decided to teach acro yoga to Erasmus students upon our return to the Czech Republic. It was a great success, and I not only enjoyed it but found real meaning in teaching and sharing my experiences. Additionally, I teach skiing to children and adults in Slovakia during the winter, which I find incredibly fulfilling and valuable. I love the mountains, hiking, and climbing. Growing up in a mountainous environment, I feel truly at home there.

Traveling :
I haven't been outside of Europe yet, except for an all-inclusive hotel stay with my family. However, this year, I’ve decided to change that and explore beyond.

Art:
I love being creative and engaging in various artistic activities. I enjoy painting, pottery, and making practical items. Even though I'm not perfect at it, it truly feeds my soul. I adore spontaneous events and picnics where we paint or make bracelets with friends.

I am an extrovert who loves being surrounded by people, but like everyone, I need to reset occasionally. I find that a good book, solo dinner dates, or solo travel helps me do that as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe Couchsurfing is more than just finding a place to stay; it's about connecting with people and cultures in a meaningful way. Through my travels and interactions, I've discovered the beauty of sharing experiences with locals and fellow travelers alike. I value the opportunity to learn from others, while also sharing my own culture and experiences, making each journey a unique and enriching adventure.
