About Me

For the past couple of years I've lived in Prague and I love it here. I currently live on the periphery, but my dream is to have my own flat closer to the center because that's where everything is going on. I'm studying costume design, and I'm very interested in theatre, art, history and related topics. I read a lot, go and see plays with my friends, go on hiking expeditions (the wilder the better). I like swimming in lakes, working on projects with fun people, drinking Czech beer, learning new things and visiting exiting new/beloved old places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's an adventure.

Interests

I already mentioned a lot of them above in the About Me section, because I am my interests to a large degree I guess. I also like going to dance classes with my Honza and then waltzing round the parking lot below our block of flats because there's no space inside to practice. I like writing, hearing people's stories, baking people cakes and things to make up for the fact that I'm not a very good cook, painting, watching films, exploring and practicing my hairdressing skills on obliging family members.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I unicycled all the way around Arthurs Seat in Edinburgh once.

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages, stories, places to see and things to try... I don't think I've ever met someone who hasn't taught me at least one tiny but significant thing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A considerate and cheerful guest who doesn't want to be a freeloader and would show my appreciation in as many ways as I can.
