ABOUT ME
My name is Jakub. I´m from Trnava. Trnava is on the West of Slovakia 50 km far from Bratislava. A couple of months I moved to Prague, where I do my PhD degree from Slavic literatures.

I like travelling by a train. I prefer trips that I plan by myself rather than all-inclusive holidays like everyone here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I usually just meet people. I have just once stayed in someone´s apartment during the night. I´ve had no negative experience up to now. Everyone I´ve met through couchsurfing turned to be an interesting person. Unfortunately, most of the people I met only once except one girl in Moscow. That was because I spent a couple of months there. I have also a good experience with Couchsurfing meetings.
