About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking for czech-speaking people in St-Petersburg!

ABOUT ME

Don't really like to describe myself.. Better to ask my friends about it!
I'm very cheerful to be around I think :)

I love knowing different places, people and experience many things.

PHILOSOPHY

If life was easy.. Where would all adventures be?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm here to host and getting hosted.

But bear in mind - things like: "Can I crash at your place?!" are not working with me. I like to plan things ahead, so please do send requests few days before!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Positive so far.

Interests

I love to skate, ice rink, freezing cold Russia.. you know ;)
I do wakeboarding and like to play big tennis.
Diving is another exciting thing I love to do.

Also I'm a big fan of analogue photography and love taking pictures with film old-cameras.
I like to draw.

I'm interested (a lot!) in cinematography and music as well.

I love to share recipes and new food ideas. I will appreciate your contributions so you are welcome to use the kitchen area and cook up great tasty dishes. ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

There is not enough space here to put all music and movies I love, but here some just to give you an idea that I love to listen to and watch!

60s, 70s, 80s, disco (!), funk (!), psychedelic, avant-garde, new wave, synthpop, free jazz, drone, electronic, dance music, chillwave, lo-fi, indie, krautrock, old school hip hop.

As about movies.. I'm a big fan of art house films, independent and classic cinema. My favorite directors are Roman Polanski, Bernardo Bertolucci, Roberto Benigni, Wilhelm Wenders, David Lynch, Michelangelo Antonioni.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stood on the edge of The Grand Canyon!
Was in Valencia during La Fallas carnival!

Teach, Learn, Share
