About Me
CURRENT MISSION
my dream: to play in the streets
ABOUT ME
I like sheep. They're cute and fluffy and look so picturesque on green hills and meadows.
And if you see me fall down on the floor laughing... no need to call an ambulance. That's pretty normal.
I spent some years abroad/on the road but now I am back (really hope that for good!) and enjoy every moment of it. Brno is an amazing lively and varied city and I strongly recommend that you come to taste its spirit and see its gorgeous surroundings.
Some inspiring videos:
A tram ride through the centre
Brno, city full of students
Oh yes, and I hate crowds and alarm clocks.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is too short to drink bad wine.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've surfed, I've hosted, I've organized a couple of meetings/parties, I've given a hand translating the CS website into Czech, I convert my friends into CSers.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've surfed in Milan, Athens, Salamina, Paris, Lisbon, Berlin, Auckland, Seoul, Istanbul, Urfa, Bursa, Esfahan, Luxembourg, Brussels and a fort near Verdun, got involved with local CS communities when living in Athens, Lisbon and Luxembourg. Hosting people from all over the world is a unique experience, imagine sitting in your living room and listening to tunes of Argentinian tango played live on the bandoneon :)
Interests
music, scooter (kick-bike), yoga, photography, languages, traditional crafts, gardening, guerilla gardening, outdoor sports, hiking, belly dance, or actually any dance, experimental cooking, experimental clothes making, and - needless to say - travelling.
And I love knitting crazy colourful sweaters.
My brand new hobby: having pictures taken of me holding a supermarket plastic bag. Petr will be happy to explain everything you need to know about conceptual art.

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies - I haven't watched many movies. Real-life stories are often more interesting :)
Music - I can play several music instruments (cello, guitar, accordion, etc.), used to play with various bands and in a youth symphonic orchestra. I listen to all kinds music, from Bach to the sound of rain.
Books - Good question. I used to be a bookworm, read literally hundreads of books. Obligatory reading and literature lessons at university made me almost hate books. I read less (or actually zero) and live more, let's put it this simple way.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Too many to pick one.
But going to New Zealand on my own, hiking and hitchhiking all around and getting a job was a good one.. I am pretty sure I can manage everything from now on...
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to pronounce a nightmarish consonant, Czech ř :)
(but you will hardly manage, muhehe)
