BEFORE YOU CONTINUE: I'm not here to sex-surf; I am here for cultural experience and mutual respect. If we don't share the same values, let's not waste each other's time--Tinder is the app you want for flirty messages and encounters.
STILL HERE? :) If I can't host you, don't despair! I'm happy to give recommendations or meet up for coffee if I have time.

I was a homebody who broke free in order to reinvent myself through travel. I love wandering new cities without a plan, coffee shop-hopping, learning new languages, and spending more than just a month in each place so I can really get to know a culture.

I kept a blog for 4 years about living abroad, travel, and language faux pas at Chlohemian: https://chlohemian.com. "Czech it out." :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying with locals makes you more than a tourist- you can experience the true atmosphere of a place through the people that live it and love it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Conquered fear by learning to ski as an adult.
Learned Czech through immersion.
Made a long-time dream of become a digital nomad a reality.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach/Share: I make really good banana bread, lentil soup, and peanut butter-banana "ice cream."
Learn: I didn't grow up around nature. I love learning nature skills like hiking, camping, and gardening.

I love cooking, telling stories, and impromptu sing-alongs (ukulele accompaniment possible if you've got one).
