About Me

I'm sadly not a student anymore, but I am working basilly in IT. My vacations are significantly limited, but anyway, I try do as much as possible on weekends.

I love running, orienteering, cycling and sport at all! But what I actually live for are mountains. No matter if few days hiking, or only running up and down, I love the feeling when I reach the summit. I don't have a car, so I usually transport myself by hitchhiking or public transportation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way how to get to know with local people. When I travelled alone during covid, I realized that hapinness is only real when shared (and who recognized the quote from Into the wild, you already know what my favourite movie is :))

Interests

RUNNING
Nothing is better then a run! Wherever, whenever, I love it. What I enjoy the most is to run in the mountains.

ORIENTEERING
Running with map and compass in nature with the best people ever. I visited many countries and terrains because of it. The best way of running!

MOUNTAINS
It doesn't matter what I'm doing there. Running, hiking, climbing, I can't feel better.

HITCHHIKING
I would never met so many interesting people if I hadn't hitchhiked wherever I can. My favourite way how to travel.

TRAVELLING
What else do I have to say? Travelling is the best education, so I travel when it is only a little bit possible. Mostly somewhere in the mountains, but I can enjoy also staying in cities.
