We were born and raised in Czech republic in one "not very big" town and since then we are trying to be optimistic and enjoy everything we do. We are kind of calm people, not much partying (well from time to time) we like nice warm evenings with good wine and pistachios.
We are both civil engineers (constructing roads and stuff).
We are curious and want to travel as much as possible. Get to know places, people, things and food, well mostly it is about food...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We have spent a night with a lovely people in Copenhagen.
And we liked it so much, that we wanted more! :) So we decided to CS around western Europe as well and it happened to be really great. It's a way how to find new people, have a nice chat, have fun and get to know about the city, we are visiting. Every time it is really big experience!
Hotels are boring.

Music, Movies, and Books

In music it's mostly indie/alternative/electro and all the different post- genres
We also love music festivals and live music.

In movies - Kubrick, Gilliam, Tarantino, Ritchie, Allen, some Coen brothers stuff
+ Monty Python's everything!

Also we like very much these new type of series like True Detective, Fargo or some scandi-noir stuff

Martin is a big fan of classic sci-fi (Asimov, Clark...), Alice loves fantasy.
Also there is some other stuff like novels from Palahniuk and some dark scandinavian thrillers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
