About Me

I am a student, one day I might become a teacher of the English language (that´s what I´m studying). Unless I become a clown. Or I might like to open my own bakery. Maybe I could do all of those, who knows?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I am a self-supporting student on a really tight budget who still wants to travel. And I also like meeting new, interesting people. And I prefer relying on sightseeing tips from locals, because they always show me places that don´t appear in any travel guides. (At least I´m honest, right?)

Interests

I love Spain, because it´s absolutely awesome. I also love travelling. And Star Wars. And reading books, listening to music, going for long walks, doodling traditional Slovak folk patterns, tap dancing, visiting museums, and a bunch of other stuff. I have a dream of doing the Appalachian Trail one day. Or at least the Camino de Santiago. Or at least the West Highland Way. So far I´ve only ever done single-day hikes (up to 30km).

Music, Movies, and Books

Music from J.S. Bach, to Pink Floyd, to Eminem, and everything in between
Movie hints:
"After all this time? - Always.",
"Do. Or do not. There is no try.",
"What´s the velocity of an unladen swallow?"
I´ll read pretty much anything, but some of my all time favourites are Harry Potter, The Little Prince, Oscar Wilde´s plays, Robert Fulghum´s essays, and many others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Have lived in four different countries in the last two years, and just about to move to a fifth one.

Teach, Learn, Share

I make really good brownies and I always share with nice people. I can probably also show you good beer places near where I live (wherever that happens to be at the moment) because I like beer a lot. I can teach you how to make real Andalusian sangría, and how to cook crabs. Also, I can give you classes of English language. I like to learn pretty much anything new.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The couch&basic facilities, the brownies, company for the visit to the beer places, my knowledge and time (I can give a tour around the city centre, with commentary on the most interesting historical stuff).

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
