I'm a little introverted Czech girl (which is not that usual in my country) but it doesn't mean that I don't like meeting new people. Just don't be surprised if I don't speak so much or don't smile all the time. It's normal. It's not your fault :)

I study Finnish and Swedish at the university in Prague. All my trips to Northern Europe were amazing and I'm always happy to get an opportunity to travel there again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At the moment I'm here to find where to stay when travelling abroad. In the future I might be able to offer a place where to stay for foreigners, too.

Interests

Foreign languages: especially those which are not that usual. English is everywhere and it's a little boring, don't you think? :) Languages I want to learn in the future: Russian, Latin, Hungarian, Icelandic, Sami + Chinese when I get retired :)

Literature: especially the French and the Finnish ones, mostly 19th century - it's not that boring how it might sound. (For some examples look below)

Travelling: I've never left Europe so far, the furthest place from Prague where I've ever been is Narvik in Norway

Watching movies: a great way how to improve my language skills and French comedies are just awesome! (For some examples look below)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the northern lights and I've walked on the frozen sea. It's actually two but both were amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn everything possible about foreign languages and cultures. I can teach you something about the Czech one :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

It depends on the concrete host, the contrete place and the concrete situation :)
