Hi!

My life is torn between Trencin 🇸🇰 and Indonesia 🇮🇩

I recently got hooked to surfing. Tried it for the first time in 2023 in Nicaragua, moved part-time to Indonesia and have been surfing almost every day since then, haha 🌊

When at home, I spend most of my days in a cafe with my friends. But there's muuch more I love doing - (hitch)hiking, skiing, volunteering, reading, cycling, ...
I'm no dancer, but ... Contemporary choreo? Club night? Salsa classes? Dancing alone in the elevator? Yes, please! I enjoy dancing in all shapes and forms 🙂

NOT HOSTING ATM ❗️there's a Ukrainian family staying in my apartment

If you've run out of your introductions and haven't found a couch, you can message me on IG @zuza_lb or FB: https://www.facebook.com/zuzana.durcek/

note: You know when you've read someone's profile and you like the general vibe... and you want to write them a personalized message, but you're not quite sure how to do that without sounding wacky... just write me what kind of coffee you drink (if you do) 🙂

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the people I meet here, not being on Couchsurfing feels like a missed opportunity to have fun with strangers :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteer a lot. I taught English to Middle-eastern kids in refugee camps in 2017, I helped distribute humanitarian needs and information to people fleeing Ukraine in 2022. I'm also a member of an NGO that focuses on environmental protection in Slovakia. I once stayed with a CS host who's active in the Extinction Rebellion movement, so I participated in a protest and activities they held at the time 🙂

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to share anything from my knowledge, opinions, skills and experience 😀 It ranges from tips and tricks on hitchhiking, the "inner workings" of AI, to

The same goes the other way - I'm very curious and open-minded so whatever you feel like sharing, I'll gladly listen/learn/try.

I enjoy cooking with other people as a social activity, but I honestly kind of suck at cooking... so if you want to try some Slovak recipes prepared by me, you might be disappointed 🥲

What I Can Share with Hosts

A cup of tea/coffee, a glass of wine/beer... a conversation! Honestly, I think it depends on the situation. I'll be happy to help with anything you might need 🙂
