Accepting guests in 2025 near Prague. Doing PhD in the philosophy of meditation at Charles University.

Naturally curious about both the inner world (ideas and feelings) and the outer world (people and places). I'm Czech, but also lived in England for 5 years, Peru/Bolivia for half a year, Holland for 3 years, and recently 1 year as a digital nomad in South Asia.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

If you think of travel as a way of learning, Cs is great because it enables people from widely different backgrounds to meet and share. It makes you travel while staying at home!

I discovered Cs alongside Workaway in Peru in 2018. I fell in love with both surfing and hangouts while hitchhiking from Casablanca to Prague in spring 2019. Then I started hosting, in Dobřichovice (CZ) and in Leiden (NL). Now more active on alternative platforms.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Music: rock, folk, avant-garde...
Cinema: Cuarón, Miyazaki, Aronofsky, Linklater...
Fiction: Brave New World, Dune, Brothers Karamazov...
I have myself written many poems and reflections, in English, Czech, Spanish and now हिंदी.

Although I've left them behind, I was influenced by Alan Watts' (Out of Your Mind) and Jordan Peterson's (Maps of Meaning) lectures. They made ancient religious traditions clear and useful. If you want to enjoy philosophy, other great entrance points are: the Zhuangzi (second Daoist classic), dialogues by Plato (e.g. Symposium) or Black Skin White Masks by Fanon (to understand racism/colonialism).

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Grew a system of grassroots philosophy events, seminars and activism at Leiden University.

Earlier, as goodbye to the UK, I ran from Manchester to Liverpool (over 50k). A week later I competed in the Manchester half marathon and didn't finish bad! Although I could barely walk for a while, I'd recommend it. :D

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I am good with languages, I cook, and I like making art and working with soil. I have a lot of conceptual knowledge and a lot of wild experiences to share—and I am always open to more.

क्या आप मुझे कुछ हिंदी/اردو सिखाओगे?

Now practicing a lot of sati (mindfulness) and metta (loving-kindness) meditation in the Buddha-dharma tradition.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Discussions and stories, a helping hand... and perhaps, a few peaceful moments.
