Please, do write me JUST IN EMERGENCY when you are in the vicinity of Bratislava/Preßburg or within city limits and you still get no couch here. I have an experience people do order couch with me one-two-three weeks in advance and then do not show up. Plus hitch-hikers often arrive to me just before/after I go to work beforw 5am.

And further to your frequently asked questions: I don't live in centre of the city (14 minutes by bus) - indeed B'lava is a very small town, so I don't understand questions like "How far is to the centre?" (btw what do You mean with city centre: Slavin memorial?, Eurovea shopping mall?, St Martin's Dome (the crowning church of our royals)?, the Castle?, and yes, I do use this CS-profile for communication only!
Do not ask me the following questions:
- what´s your WatsUp number,
- do you have the Facebook profile,
- do you have Instagram or Tweet konto,
- do you have an covid-passport,
if You please!!!

Plus I do prefer non-smokers.

Since April 2025 there is an exhibition on Bratislava´s Royal Castle about Marie Antoinette, our Royal Hungarian Princess, whose life ended under the guillotinne.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My only window to the World.

Interests

I do like very much the political jokes and lampoons ("Joke is the only weapon of powerless and defenceless" - Alberto Moravia) from our Czechoslovakian past in 20th Century, something like as follows:
...
On the eve of the Great Amnesty in May 1960 the three political prisoners met at latrine of Mírov fortress (so called Czechoslovakian Alcatraz). They ask each other why they had got imprisoned.
First: „In 1948 I voted against comrade Goldstucker.“
Second: „In 1951 I voted for comrade Goldstucker.“
Third: „Well, I am the comrade Goldstucker!“

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not vaccinated!

Teach, Learn, Share

Your choice...
I do not recommend the free tour of Bratislava, as it´s too ideologised by those young guides.
BTW, visiting just Bratislava/Pozsonyi you´ll miss the Slovakia proper: https://youtu.be/cG4aYsvgchA?si=r4aG1BRjiU-hUxy9
Please note: I am minimalist and I don´t want belong to this corporate world w/its false petty-bourgeois morale and cancel culture!.
