Overview
About Me
ABOUT ME
I am a Language and Literature Teacher working in Bratislava, Slovakia :). I love reading. I enjoy food. I love playing board games- Dominion, Settlers of Catan, Betrayal at House on the Hill, etc. I am an easy going person. Sometimes I can be very extroverted and other times, I just want to sit somewhere quietly and read a good book with a nice cup of coffee next to me. For me, traveling means getting to know the locals, enjoying the local food, and exploring cities in depth.
PHILOSOPHY
If you give me respect, I will give you respect. I always try to find the best in people and I always try to understand the other side.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Well the most amazing thing I've done so far was go on Safari in Kenya in the Massai Mara, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Amboseli Park and the Lake Nakuru National Park. It was an absolute amazing and wonderful experience! That and I got to feed and pet a rhino. You seriously haven't lived if you've never petted a rhino before or hiked up a crater where you had to stop every few minutes or so to make sure that there were no buffaloes in the area.
