Overview
About Me
I’m an very easy-going, extroverted soul raised in small village of Slovakia who loves connecting with people from all over the world. I’m passionate about nature, music, and spontaneous adventures — whether it’s hiking up a mountain or stumbling into a live music event in the city.
By day, I’m a network engineer (and pretty good at it, if I do say so myself!), but outside of work, you’ll usually find me with a good book and a strong cup of coffee, planning my next trip, playing some games or chatting with friends. I’m always looking to learn more, especially about technology and networking, but I’m equally fascinated by other countries & their cultures.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The most important thing in life to me is that people are what make places memorable, not the place itself! For me, Couchsurfing is about real connections, shared moments and learning from each other’s stories. I’m the type of person who doesn’t prefer flooding social media with every moment — I prefer keeping the memories real, cherishing deep conversations and focusing on the people themselves.
Interests
Well you can say that I'm a dog person who loves music, especially guitar music. I'm a huge fan of movies and norse mythology. I'm in love and also recommend to everyone every single book about the norse gods and history. Of course I also love nature, hiking, traveling and after all the technology since I'm a student of IT. I focus mainly on a graphic design, but also some coding.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music:
I grew up listening to bands like AC/DC, TOTO, Level 42, Johnny Cash, and David Bowie. As life went on, I fell in love with the guitar and piano — both of which can easily move me emotionally. I also love the history of music, including how American rap emerged, with artists like 2Pac, N.W.A, and DMX. My current favorite artists are Moto Bandit, Royel Otis, Empire of the Sun, Kid Cudi, Post Malone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Besides my networking career, I started a project focused on the promotion and digital transformation of National park Slovenský raj where the goal is to enhance the experience for visitors and nature enthusiasts alike. We bring the beauty of this national park to a broader audience through cutting-edge technology, and our platform offers a variety of tools to improve accessibility, information-sharing, and user engagement. But seriously... check out the www.NPSR.sk
Last, but not least... driven by my passion for classic games, I also enjoy creating open-world maps for iconic titles such as Warcraft and Metin2. Crafting detailed and immersive environments for these older games allows me to combine creativity with technical expertise, breathing new life into nostalgic gaming experiences. Seeing my work come to life where hundreds of players exploring and interacting within a map that I’ve created is truly a heartwarming moment.
