print("Hello world")
I'm Sára, I identify myself as European, but the fact that I come from its middle really marked me (warm soup for lunch = pure lust) .
I like information, insights, stories and good questions, mental imprints. I'm a terrible dancer, that's why I like techo raves where my monotony of movements is tolerated. I adore tea rooms, where I can immerse myself into pillows, however, I know pitifully little about tea. I love kitchens, kitchenettes and cuisine (see the photos w my italian pal from Bali), but I suck at cutting onions badly. I like to observe the morning rituals of others and their favorite benches in the park, I collect stones without esoteric intentions, I consume art, but not meat, I do not alienate, I often go to the theater and brag about it for hours. I associate happiness with beer and I overcome my internal hardships with walks in the forest. I like to eat fresh violets. I compare dogs with their owners, like specific words of the given language, unconventionality, diversity, hidden passages, petri dishes with agar, biophysics and poetry.
I'm starting veterinary medicine this semester, so this is also a platform for me to recharge before my first anatomy exam.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to read Geo (slovak magazine about travels). On the last page there was always an article called "one in 7.917 billion" that descriped life of a random inhabitant of the earth . And I didn't just want to read these articles, I also wanted to experience them.
When I was with my good friend Ksenija in her native Serbia, she dragged me to all family visits, to municipal office, to the local market... She allowed me to understand how they really live and what they live for, that's the real Serbia for me, not the Nikola Tesla museum in Belgrade.
That's why I don't just want to lick a commercial stereotype vulgarly pushed to a tourist, but to hear the simple truth about the actual course of days in a given country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my studies in Vienna, I befriended my autistic classmate from Italy. Before I left the high school, I told him once that he is quite normal, but unlike others, he doesn't care what anyone thinks about him. The way he smiled was something I will probably remember for good.
