In my spare time I mostly do artistic activities,
but I also like sports very much.
Although I have lived in the city since I was a little girl, I am a child from
village environment, which is where I live nowadays.
I am very fond of animals, just my love
for them inspired me for my preliminary choice of profession,
in which I would like to devote myself to their protection,
healing and observation. I would love to travel, preferably in the form of missions or through volunteer organizations.

INTERESTS
In my free time I like to read books (mainly fantasy and historical novels), go for walks,
play the clarinet and saxophone, sometimes watch a movie or anime.
My favorite book series are by English author Rick Riordan.
Cooking
Recently, one of my passions has become cooking and baking, I wanted to make the most of my effective procrastination, so I decided to cook during it. The main drawback is that you have to eat it afterwards, it's very easy to get fat that way.
Traveling
My curiosity makes me dream about the world and the culture that lies within it. I love the culture and art of ancient peoples, their worldviews and how they justify them. At the same time I love traveling, it teaches you so much, independence, self-reliance, thrift and mindfulness.
And if I can't escape to the real world, I like to escape to the book world. In my library you would find mostly books with historical, cultural and fantasy themes, of course I don't miss romance novels and English literature, this passion was bred in me by my sisters.
Klarinet and saxophone
I have been playing the clarinet for 9 years, playing the instrument has taught me patience, perseverance, determination, a sense of beauty and almost absolute perfection, and attentiveness. My reaction time has improved due to playing from the page, but most importantly, nothing happens overnight, so I decided to further my experience on the saxophone, which I have been playing for second year now, although the saxophone and clarinet are similar instruments, the strokes, finger spacing, and stresses are different, therefore, although it may seem easy for a clarinetist to learn to play the saxophone, it is not entirely so, it is just easier than starting over again. I am currently actively playing both instruments.
Šarišan
Currently I am an active member of the folklore ensemble Šarišan, which I enrich by playing the clarinet, the ensemble has given me a lot, but especially friendships. I have got to know many people and thanks to this I have got the opportunity to look at the world from different points of view.
Movement
I was very restless since I was a little girl, and this trait has been with me ever since. I love to go hiking, cycling or just for a simple walk, even though running is my arch enemy, it's one of the types of exercise that makes me feel very good. I exercise at home at least three times a week, and I try to adapt my diet accordingly.
