ABOUT ME

I'm Alena, a friendly globetrotter coming from the Czech Republic. I've studied in France for 5 years and now, I am settling down in Heidelberg, Germany.
I like meeting new people while travelling and discovering other cultures!
I am open-minded and always smiling girl..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Feel free to ask me if you want to drop by, go outside for a walk or for a drink...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I do not have that much experience with Couchsurfing. We have hosted several times people at our place in Strasbourg.
Myself, I could enjoy the couchsufing once in Oslo.
But it always turned to a great experience!

Interests

Photography, nature, sport (hiking, tennis, horseback riding, biking, skiing...), foreign languages, meeting people... beer (yeah, I'm a Czech girl:)), wine (yeah, I used to live in France:))
.........well, now it all changed a bit ......
Now, I'm a big fan of sleeping, breast feeding, eating and of long walks in the surroundings of Heidelberg.
