My name is Jakub. I'm very spontaneous and love meeting new people and learning about life. I was born in Slovakia and grew up mostly in the United States but spent many summers in Slovakia as well.

I tend to be very passionate about whatever I get interested in, even if it ends up hurting me. I love hearing crazy stories that people have to tell. People are soooo cool. I love how languages have words that don't exist in other languages.

I'm a very active person. Whenever I come to a hill I run up the hill. I love adventures....like taking an improv class, going to a chocolate festival, taking an acting class, going to a dive bar and just waiting for something interesting to happen, face painting, waking up at 4 am, camping, making your own clothing, or climbing to the top of mountains.

I am a dreamer but I have to accept reality as it is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people who want to meet other people. Human connection is the quintessence of life, and it is beautiful. Messy, occasionally disappointing or heartbreaking too, but beautiful nonetheless.

We are all interconnected, interwoven in the quilt of life.
