About Me

I'm currently trying to get into studying in social work. I'm bit of a introvert, but I have huge respect and compassion for everyone. I'm gentle and understanding. I've been gradually getting over depression (it's been 2 years now, since last treatment) and nowadays I can find enjoyment in life in new ways and appreciate myself as person. There is still room for more growth. With help of friends and nowadays my long-distance girlfriend, I'm being more conscious about myself and my inner life and what I want from life. After having gotten over depression I have gotten over obesity as well. I've lately found exercising helpful for my mental and physical health.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone and grow as a person. I want to put myself in new situations and out there in the world. To gain confidence and possibly meet new meaningful people. I'll be attending international volunteer work camp for wild animals, and while visiting Czech for the first time I would appreciate getting to experience Prague outside of camp experience as well. It's very new and even uncomfortable situation for me, but I'm confident and excited.

Music, Movies, and Books

-My music taste is seasonal, pretty much any genre goes and I'm open to experience more.
-I generally enjoy movies that make me feel emotional in someway, movies that touch on life and people and their emotional side. With movies I'm also open to experience all kinds. With my friend I generally watch thrillers/horror, with another friend I watch action movies. With my girlfriend it's the emotional and more experimental movies.
(Ladybird, Mr. Nobody, Ghost, Her, It Comes at Night, It Follows, Sessions, Little Death, Moonlight, Spotless Mind of the Eternal Sunshine)
-It's been some time since I last read - I used to read a lot of Stephen King, but I think I've grown over his writing style. Books I've enjoyed later on: Unbearable Lightness of Being, Master and Margarita, Thousand Splendid Suns, Demian
