CURRENT MISSION

study for language translator

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Prague/Czech Rep. where I used to live since 1977 - in 1996 I moved to Munich/Bavaria/Germany, where I lived until 2000, then studied shortly in Prague again, worked in the USA-North Dakota, England-London and Switzerland-Zurich, 2004 moved to Giessen/Hessen/Germany, since 2006 in Schweinfurt/Bavaria and now since 2014 I live in Munich again.

Currently I study for being a language translator/interpreter later, doing a plenty of freelance-jobs, see photos.
I am quite often in London and in Prague.

PHILOSOPHY

My Lifegoal is to open a vintage 80` western-toys museum in Prague and buy an own House or an Apartment in Prague.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Staying in touch with the others, meeting anytime If possible.

As language translator student it`s very important for me to practise the languages, mainly English.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met many Couchsurfers by chance already in the past, mostly through my car-sharing offers, then I decided to join here much later. Kept on participating on meetings previously in Schweinfurt, today in Munich.

Currently I am depending on hosts or I can offer an emergency overnight stay in a luggage compartment of the bus.
