Overview
About Me
I hate this part. What can I possibly say to convince you I am not a murdering psychopath, a kleptomaniac or anything else vaguely negative? I'll start by saying that I'm a kindergarten teacher in Slovakia. I love the arts, modern and archaic architecture, compositions both modern and classic (There is a great deal of things I love/like). But most of all I love traveling. The sensation of leaving all my worries, vices and comforts behind and plunging head on into adventures described in travel journals I have read in the last 10 years. If I could say one last thing about myself, it's this: I'm adaptable, no I'm not a racist and I adore meeting new people and obtaining contacts all around the world.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Traveling can become quite a bother when you have a low budget. Well, for that exact reason I'm here, looking for some kid soul to house me. I've traveled all around the world (New York, Boston, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Switzerland, Croatia, France, Spain, England, Scotland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Italy and Greece) spending tremendous amounts of cash. Now I simply can't afford a hotel room for 50Euros per night (due to my job). I've met new people in all these countries and cities, and I'm still very much in touch with them despite considerate distance.

Teach, Learn, Share
If you ever want to visit Slovakia. Please do so. We're a small country, yet we've got much potential for we are in the heart of Europe. Our culture has been influenced by all those countries around us: Hungary, Czech Republic, Germany, Russia, Austria) so there is much to see and it's never the same. The only vice we have as a country...The communist buildings (No Slovakia is not communist, but yes a few decades ago we belonged to the USSR). Cities to visit: Banska Štiavnica, Bratislava, Poprad (High Tatras), Banská Bystrica and Košice (Plus many others - Check on Tripadvisor). Other places worth mention: Slovak Paradise National Park. If you want any other questions dont hesitate and...Look it up on Google :D
