About Me

Graphic designer and a scout volunteer from Czechia.

I like meeting new people, learning new skills and I am trying to step out of my comfort zone as much as possible. (I'm introverted, so yeah, meeting new people is also a step out of my comfort zone 😄)

Interesting conversations are my favorite thing ever.

I love to explore unknown places - either while travelling, trying to find places that other tourists don't go, or new places close to where I live.

Whenever I can, I spend time in nature, with friends or alone. I like hiking, and camping even more, especially sleeping under the stars. Swimming and biking are also fun.

I draw a lot, digitally or traditionally, and I like to carry my sketchbook with me.

I take pictures, especially of abandoned buildings, industrial areas or places people may find ugly, but also of normal landscapes or people. (Instagram: satls.faction )

Some people say that I have weird taste in music.

P.S.: I have a boyfriend and if I receive a message that’s sounds like a message I’d get on a dating app, I won’t respond to it, it makes me uncomfortable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that the best way to explore a culture is by talking to people. Most of my interactions with people were incredibly inspiring and eye opening, there are so many things we miss when we're just stuck in our one country's perspective.

It is also fulfilling that I can help people out when I host them and share with them my favorite places. To feel little bit better about the fact that I'm so privileged and can live in Prague without struggling, I want to share it with others... and also fight back against super expensive accomodations 😄😄

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Glukhovsky´s books, The Song of Ice and Fire, Remarque´s books, russian classics, The Catcher in the Rye, Kundera´s books, Haruki Murakami´s books and many more.

Movies: The Graduate, Jesus Christ Superstar, Monthy Python movies, Drive My Car, Burning, Total eclypse, some Tarantino movies...
The movie must be smarter than I am, that means when I know from the beginning how its gonna end, it wouldn't entertain me. I love movies with realistic dialogues or good athmosphere and interesting exteriors.
My passion is finding good movies from different countries. (Same with music and books)

Music: The Clash, AltJ, Son Lux, The Velvet Underground, Wise Blood, Viktor Tsoi, Imagine Dragons, The Trials of Cato, Bajaga, Pink Floyd, Vypsaná fixa, Celenka, Aquarium, Simon & Garfunkel, DDT, Mitski...
I enjoy Irish drinking music, medieval covers, Balkan turbofolk, acoustic guitar folk, old style country music, 80s Russian rock, punk and many other genres. Please, share with me music from your home country.
