Hi! I'm Elena and I love languages and meeting ppl from different cultures. I'm an MA student at MUNI University in Brno,. I'm studying Education, specializing in Teaching English in upper secondary schools (I know... cross your fingers for me :)).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think it's an adventurous and great way to connect with people living in either a foreign country or my home country. Couchsurfing also makes travelling cheaper and much more affordable.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all types of music, honestly. Considering movies, I do like romance comedies with happy endings :) I also love love documentaries, just a handful of fantasy films and occasionally a drama.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught myself Spanish only by watching telenovelas, then at Uni I perfected it.
I taught myself how to speak Czech, without taking any additional courses or private lessons, by listening, interacting, reading and watching the Czech media. Who is learning or trying to learn Czech, knows what I'm talking about :D.
I rode 220 km by bike in seven days in the Slovenian Alps ( my ass suffered incredibly)
I walked the Tour de Mont- Blanc (statistics: 140 km in 8 days, 6167 m altitude rise, above sea level, my ankles are still suffering, but I don't regret it:) ).
There are many amazing things I've done that I'm proud of. But these are some popularized ones which people could better relate to.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you salsa, on 2, NY style, which requires rhythm techniques and a handful of independence and guts, or bachata if you prefer to smell every girl/guy from close and always dance with a partner :) Which is not bad!
