About Me

Curret mission- in short enjoy life as much as I can, whitch is often hard being mum :D :D . We enjoy meeting new people, but we choose properly according sent request as far as its quite demanding for us to host. No copy-paste, impersonal request has a chance. We like to meet travelling families.

We have common passion with my husband and like to explore (and taste- yummy!) new countries, places. We especially love wonders of nature all over the world.

ABOUT ME

SO as I wrote earlier - it is not "me" anymore, it is more like "us" -I am wife and mum already, having crazy energetic son Daniel (19months) and I am expecting second as well. My husband´s name is Miro, he is also Slovak and a big fun of hiking. During my student time I was very active, volunteering high level, studying hard field, travelling as much as I could afford :P, hectic fillfulled life. Now I am resting a bit from all of that, but being a mum is hardwork, especially no-one teach you how to do it and I wanna raise good responsible joyfull personalities. So now I spent more time educating myself in motherhood and upbringing, taking care of my family and the household, you can imagine :D, But I am finding lot of joy in it, no need to stress around, rush there and back- my previous 8 years were unfogettable, but also hectic.
But we travel anyway, every year we go on 1-2 big road trips in our camper.

PHILOSOPHY

Doing as much as you can AND enjoy it!!! ANYthing you do you can do with joy, even cooking (again :D) And ofc menawhile, exploring world, learning new skills and things, living my life with love (still in process :D).
Meeting people, giving them part of me, not to forget, making people laugh, thats amazing feeling!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

During my student times I was mostly travelling and meeting people. I also took part in few events and it was great :) Once me and friends also organised a home party for CS in Gent :)
Than I somehow stopped using couchsurfing and last roadtrip I realised I miss something, a beautiful countryside and views is not enough to feel satisfaction from travelling... I miss meeting locals, getting to know the place through their eyes. And nowadays when it is harder to connect with people, we are more self-concentrated... Moreover, as a family we travell with car which is both great comfort, but also a pity - we skipp meeting people in buses, trains, while hitchiking... SO I want to restart my old way of travelling at least this way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had so many great great memories from my couches - both alone and with some other friends, I have met few amazing, inspiring people. CS is way more than looking for a couch! I love it!
In the same time I am not dependent on it cause we travel in a camper :), we like to be free especially because of our family situation :P, but its always nice to have dinner sitting at the carpet , chating with intresting new friend.
And if the host would join us for a trip, that would be great :)

Interests
