About Me

Hosting occasionally, prefer those who read my profile first.

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the time I got here on Earth.

ABOUT ME

I'm 26, moved to Iceland about a year ago. Im quite stubborn, individualistic but open minded person ! :-) Ah and I almost forgot - I love craft beer.

PHILOSOPHY

I am libertarian - so I can get along with most opinions but better not getting into any arguments.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to host in Prague but than started working at Prague hostel so I had a bit too much contact with people. After my travels I returned to Prague and hosted occasionally. Now I'm in AK, actually sharing flat with other couchsurfer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a few CSers in Prague and Akureyri, got hosted in Canada.

Interests

Well as I mentioned above - beer. Tasting that all around the world gets never boring. Cooking traditional czech dishes. Than it's music - I do enjoy live shows. Rock, blues, metal, jazz, ... AND discussions about politics, history ... a bit weird, huh ?

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - as we say in the Czech Rep. - I am 'bigbíťák' witch means anything with guitar, base and drums is usually my cup of tea.

Movies - time to time, but not a hard fan. Can give you some tips on czech films - not that bad if you can find subs for that :-)

Books - We were learning about hundreds and thousands books/writers in school and it was too much for me. But as I get older tend to read some of those time to time just because I can remeber it's title. Most of those are quite good. I definitely prefer classic authors than modern "best-seller epic geniuses".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many that started just by talking to locals...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my experience from travels around USA, Iceland, Canada (just west part) and also tell you about my country - It's MUCH MORE than just Prague. But as I live there and also worked as receptionist in hostel I know a lot about our capital city. There are some "hidden gems" tourists don't usually visit outside of Prague: http://tiny.cc/o1d62x ; http://tiny.cc/97d62x http://www.traveltipy.com/top-chateaux-and-castles-in-the-czech-republic/
