There is little free time because the robot is found at home in the garden or around the family house. If there is an opportunity, however, she likes to go for walks in the countryside around Trenčín. She and her husband will go to theater and concerts. And he thinks it’s time to travel, he likes to ride to the sea. This year they plan to visit Rhodes.
