Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New here in CS community, just going to discover what I can offer!:) Currently unfortunately no couch available but I would love to be your guide to hang around in and around Brussels or Bratislava, my two home towns! Would like to join in CS activities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just started, subscribed in July 2012 after hearing many positive feedback about CS. Did my first CS trip to Mallorca where I met great people with whom we stayed good friends since. Try to participate at CS events.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing experience so far has been volunteering for a local NGO in Peru. I was helping to teach kids in the educational centres in the slums of Lima. The direct contact with the kids, their curiosity and eagerness to learn, their happiness about the little things in life..it has struck me! We have so much to learn from them!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach, share:
My big passion is oriental/belly dancing, if you are interested, I'll be happy to teach some moves!:)

I think I have some modest knowledge about nature - plants, herbs, mushrooms or let's say how to survive in the outdoors. In my homeland Slovakia there is a big tradition of collecting herbs to cure various illnesses. I am a big fan of this old grandma science.:)

I like to cook too and I am a big wine lover!

Learn:
Open to anything you can teach me!
