ABOUT ME

People usually remember me as "a girl who laughs a lot", so I guess I do. I think that life is what you make it to be and I'd like mine to be full of great experiences, a lot of laughter, joy and friendship.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't believe in black and white type of thinking. There's always an other side. Everything bad includes something good, at least hope, if nothing else. I'd like to be able to live my life seeing all colours and shades in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think couchsurfing is a great way to explore the country and culture. I enjoy accommodating people, but unfortunetely at the moment our appartement is so tiny that I´m not able to do it. I the meantime I´d like to meet couch surfers over a coffee or beer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All experiences were extremely positive! I did couchsurfing a lot in South America and it was amazing experience.

Interests

I've studied music for several years, but now I could sincerely call it just a hobby. I play piano and sing. I enjoy also dancing salsa, jogging, swimming. I used to play in a theater group but now I don't have time for that any more. I like to read a lot.

Teach, Learn, Share
