CURRENT MISSION

Make the best out of this life :)

ABOUT ME

Hello! I am Olivia and for the past 2 years I spent most of my time Slovakia.

One of my favorite places is Scotland where I moved for university. The uni, people, the culture, countryside and Ceilidhs... Oóó Ceilidhs (traditional Gaelic live Scottish music and dance gatherings). If it was just few degrees warmer I would never want to leave :)

I was lucky enough to visit quite a few places in my life, usually because of school, work or projects, but I still want to learn more about the word and its peoples :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before the pandemic, I used to organize hiking and clay making events for couchsurfers, and in the past (when I had the time to travel, sweet times) I was lucky enough to be hosted by a few couchsurfers.

I love couchsurfing because of the couchsurfers. It is rare to find such like-minded people in an everyday life. I love the passion, optimism, drive, kindness and of course the open-mind that is so characteristic for true couchsurfers.

Interests

I love dancing partner Latino dances (salsa, bachata, kizomba, semba, zouk…). Following a dancing lead is my way of switching off.

I also enjoy trying new activities, hiking, nature or having a cup of tea and nice conversation.

Music, Movies, and Books

I cannot pick favourites ;)

I love Bob Marley, Ben Howard, System of a Down, Kizomba and Bachata and pretty much else :D

Movies: I really enjoyed The Shelter - the movie has a good message.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lived in a place where Jews and Palestinians live sustainabely together in peace.
I have eaten Armenian bread with Thai butter, Estonian honey and another one with Slovak cheese.
I have shared one bedroom with people from more than 6 countries.
I have spend a day just laying on a meadow with my best friend.
I hiked Grand Canyon.
I climbed mountains in Corsica.
I thought deaf children in China.
I have ridden an elephant through jungle and a camel through desert (the animals were cared for very well).
I have seen people laugh and cry.
I have lived and enjoyed my life :)
