I'm currently a student of Dramatherapy in Czech Republic, at the same time I'm working as a social worker with people that has mental health disabilities. I'm travelling with my partner who is studying International relations and European politics. I'm originally from Slovakia and my partner is from Alaska. We love to experience all adventures that countries offer, meet new people and eat local food. We're open to have a video call before visiting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Be able to see amazing places and learn from local people everything I can about a country and it's culture, food, political situation.

Interests

Me:
I love everything connected to theatre and art. Dramatherapy became my greatest passion and I'm grateful for every process that came with it. To keep myself healthy physically, mentally and enjoy my life as possible while studying and working at the same time, my focus is also on psychohygiene. Every weekend I'm helping my friend on a horse farm full of another animals. Nature was always great source of reconnection for me. And I'm a huge lover of slow and present moments. I was never an expert in coffee but since I met Martin I enjoy sitting on a weekends with him on our balcony, talk and have that cup of coffee / or chocolate which I prefer most of the time.

Martin:
As Martina I also was connected to theatre before as an actor, director, and music composer. Till this day I still enjoy having theatre opportunities as a hobby. After knowing Martina I realised how theatre can have such a healing impact on other people, we volunteered multiple times at theatre for children with Down syndrome. But my path later leaded me elsewhere, so I ended up at Masaryk University in the international program. It's still such a big experience by itself for me till this day. While studying i work as an english teacher. Except that - I'm a morning coffee lover, I just can't get enough of a slow and present mornings as Martina described earlier. And I started playing basketball again, which was a great aspect in my life before.
