Hi, nice to meet you. My name is Jan and I'm a 23 y.o. student of medicine from the Czech Republic. I used to play football and had a rock band with my friends during high school. In my last year of high school I went to Moldova with my friends, met some incredible people there and developed a passion for travelling. I was accepted to the general medicine course in Masaryk University in Brno the year after. I started teaching physics as my part-time job and kept on travelling. I've always been impressed by the generosity and kindness I experienced while travelling. During the few years since my first trip I've visited many countries and come to learn that travelling is mainly about learning - about the people, places and also about yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A few years ago I started travelling and since then I've visited a few dozen countries. I love to meet the local people and learn about their culture and history. For me this is the most important part of travelling and also the reason why I'm on couchsurfing. I want to have an authentic experience while travelling. I don't want to learn about the countries and the people only from books and internet but also meet and talk to them. I believe there is no better place to meet like-minded people than here on couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the 70s and 80s music. The Beatles are the best. Travelling has showed me that I actually enjoy latin american and also persian music a lot. Me and a few friends we have a band and we play folkrock music. I also really enjoy funk and soul music. I absolutely love Tarantino movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It is really hard to pick just one thing but I'd say I'm proud that I did finish a half-marathon once.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some guitar or bass basics or maybe some phrases in my native language - Czech :D.
At the same time I'd love to learn just about anything.
I'd love to share some stories, maybe some experience or travel passion.
