Overview
About Me
Living back in the beautiful and fun city of Prague, after 10 years of studying, working and travelling the world. Happy to help with your travel plans or info on Prague, or host if I've got the time.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've had a few people crash when I lived in Leiden in the Neterlands, but unfortunately due to my constant moving and traveling around I haven't been able to accommodate as many people as I'd like to.
However, I have quite solid knowledge of Prague, Amsterdam and Brighton in The UK and I'm more then happy to show people around any of these cities (if I'm around) or share the places to see, n hang out if anyone is heading to these locations n I'm not currently around. Please don't hesitate to contact me if u need help with anything in any of these locations.
Interests
New places, new faces n new cultures and things related to such (hiking, history, politics, languages)
I like to travel the way the local people do so you get to know the actual place/country/people.
Although I've been interested in photography for a few years now, I've also recently begun to invest more time and effort into Photojournalism. Having had the opportunity to meet people like Ron Haviv and David Turnley was a truly exceptional experience, and their selfless attitudes and aims to help people in desperate situation by telling their stories and letting the world know what atrocities are happening on the surface of this planet, have been motivating me to pursue my passion for photojournalism further and maybe make it an actual job one day.

Music: A variety of music from Jazz/Funky Jazz to Rock and Electro. Artists such as - Booka Shade, Bob Marley, Foo Fighters, Pendulum, Reel Big Fish, Us3, The Darkness
Books: I love travel guides books - they cover such a variety of things from sights, music n food to weird n wonderful little fact you'd never found out about a place. Rough guides are my favourites companions on the road, but there are exceptions of course (I highly recommend the Trailblazer guide to Trans-Siberian railway, a gem!)
