Hello! My name is Dáša, and I come from Slovakia. Ah, it’s always at the moment you are asked to introduce yourself, that you forget everything you have ever known to be true about who you are.

“Trust yourself, everything is just going to be ok” This is what I kept saying to myself on the plane coming to Macedonia. And, I have to admit, I lied, yes… Everything is not just “ok”, everything is INCREDIBLE (I know, I scared you). If I’m not saying that when I return home then I’ll…

Hi :) I’m Maike from Bonn in Germany.
