About Me

I am positive, smiley and optimistic person. I love learning about new cultures, exploring new places and getting to know interesting people. Currently I am finishing my volunteering experience in Vietnam - Ta Lai village (near Cat Tien national park) and I am planning to travel for a few weeks around Vietnam. A few months ago I finished working for a student organization AIESEC where I have been for 2,5 years and to be honest, I am trying to find myself now, explore my opportunities and something new to focus on. I am passionate about nature, dancing, sustainability, hiking... Just take me into forest and my soul will be happy. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my experience in AIESEC I was organizing volunteering projects for people from the whole world - they were all coming to Czech Republic for this educational project. Since that I really love meeting new cultures and in March 2019 I joined a similar volunteering project in Ta Lai village in Vietnam near Nam Cat Tien. My volunteering project is for 6 weeks and I plan to spend 3 more weeks by traveling around Vietnam. On Couchsurfing I am hoping to find some connections in Vietnam.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy listening to music from the 30s and 40s, but I am not so picky, I listen to various kinds of music. I love Simon & Garfunkel for example. One of my favorite songs is also Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd.
I have many favorite movies like The Shawshank Redemption, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, basically any movie directed by Quentin Tarantino - mainly Django Unchained and Pulp Fiction. Recently I saw Coco and Amelie and I loved it so much.
My all-time favorite book is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I already mentioned the volunteering so now something different. In summer 2018 I ocnquered my first via ferrata ever in Austria and it felt AMAZING.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Czech and basic German, for fun I can teach you basic steps of classic dances and one special occasion Czech dance. I have also been through a very basic ballet classes, so... I am up to have some fun with that as well :D
I can also share everything about my volunteering experience in Vietnam which I found a deep passion for as an English teacher in a rural area.
In your home I can help with anything that is needed. Cleaning, shopping, whatever. :)

Optimism, good laugh, a little thing to remember my country as a thank you
