About Me

I'm a Czech lawyer (but the fun one, don’t worry), outgoing, into sports, music, foreign languages and obviously traveling

So far I’ve met people via CS when travelling round the US, Russia, Georgia, Turkey, India and a number of countries in South America. I don't travel as much now due to work, but I can finally return the favor to the community and host travelers myself.

I AM NOT looking for hookups here - if that's your deal, please try a different app.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like traveling alone as it makes it way easier to connect with be locals, and it’s always fun to see how one can find common interests with people from all corners of the world. And Ive found couchsurfing to be a great tool for that. Now after long time travelling I have finally settled down in Prague, so I can finally help other travelers get off the beaten path and have a bit more of a local experience in Prague.

Interests

Besides the obvious travelling I have, despite being this deadpan-looking lawyer, a thing for music and the guitar - I have been playing it since about the age of 16 and still don't seem to knock it off...

I also enjoy learning new languages (got to a decent level, but still working on my Portuguese and Spanish) and usually can't resist a good film or a book.

I’m into lots of sports too, be it swimming, skiing, surfing, football, jogging or hiking.

Last but not least, being Czech obliges me to go out for a beer or a drink once in a while
