CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

*** PLEASE READ: We are not living in Istanbul. We are back in Czech Republic***

I teach fifth grade at an international school. My job is amazing as it gives me the freedom to travel the world and teach kids from a variety of cultures! I love living in different places and especially enjoy the challenge of learning about and adapting to new experiences. I live with my husband Jirka who is from South Bohemia, Czech Republic. We are two vegetarians with a love for nature and music.

PHILOSOPHY

"When you dance you can enjoy the luxury of being you" - Paulo Coelho

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf and host regularly! So far, I have nothing but great experiences. I feel really lucky to have found such a friendly way to travel and meet new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed in Paris, London, Vienna, Budapest, all around Germany, Spain, and Czech Republic.

I stayed at a beautiful house while traveling along the Grimms brother's fairytale road in Germany. The couple we stayed with had a lovely little house in the forest...it was an unforgettable experience.

Intereses

I have been dancing since I was 4 years old. My favorite style of dance is African but I am recently experimenting with different forms of contemporary.

Spicy food makes my belly happy, especially Korean kimchi :-). I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen, especially with baking. Your favorite vegetarian recipes are welcomed!

I enjoy visiting exhibits and appreciate modern art expressions like, contemporary theater, electronic music, and graphic design. Additionally, I like playing with trash, creating various art pieces and DIY projects.

Música, películas y libros

I generally read books that make me cry. Some all time favorite tear jerkers: A Thousand Splendid Suns, Sophie's Choice, Flowers for Algernon

Film festivals=best excuse to see multiple movies in a day, love them!

As far as music, something different for every occasion. Here is a taste of what I am always in the mood for:
