About Me

It is my 10th anniversay of my CS life. There have been ON and OFF times, hosting, surfing, travelling..it has always been fun.
I am not able to host currently, but if you are up for a meeting here in Bratislava, let me know.

ABOUT ME

_clearly, I love travels. Packing bags is exciting and bagpacking even more!

PHILOSOPHY

# when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro
# in life we don't get what we want, we get what we are.

a quote on making mistakes:
## I hope that you MAKE MISTAKES.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.

That's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it!
Make your mistakes, today, tomorrow and forever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

ever since I joined CS i have been hosting, surfing and meeting restless travelers everywhere. I believe that everyone has a story.. and I would love to meet you and hear yours. Need a couch or an advice? give me a shout!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted and surfed couple of times and met lots of couchsurfers from all over the world- both friendly and shy, relaxed and active, crazy and weird at times - just like the world we live in. Very inspirational!
