About Me
--- Wants too Meet Up in Prague ---
Ahoj/Hi! I am 25 years old girl from Czechia. I am a friendly hospitable and organized outdoor girl, who grew up in a small town and moved to Prague for studies. I am a geographer and my specialization is Cartography and GIS. I am a part of EGEA (European Geography Association for students and young geographers). I work as a GIS specialist and do technical support for Google Maps customers.
I am into outdoor activities, exploring new places, getting to know locals and sharing travel stories. I am on Couchsurfing to meet interesting people, explore less touristic places and help strangers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Getting to know locals is one of the most important things during travelling. You can visit a hundred places, but just meeting locals can give you the right view of the country and culture.
I host my friends and friends of my friends very often in Prague. I've started with CS in 2017 and I had only positive experiences.
Interests
I love to be in nature and do outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, cycling or windsurfing. Sometimes I wish I could live closer to the mountains :)
I'd like to go out for a beer or glass of wine.

Music, Movies, and Books
I don't have too many preferences and I listen what I love - folk, pop, rock or Irish ballads.
My favourite film is Forrest Gump and I can watch it again and again :) “My mama always said, ‘Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.’”.
I read books from Dan Brown or Stieg Larsson.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One of my hobbies is (was) volunteering for a student association, EGEA. I was the main coordinator for a student congress, which took place in Czechia in spring 2017. I'll never forget the moment when I was standing in front of all participants during my opening speech. After a year of hard work with other 10 students, we hosted 107 participants from 18 different countries for 6 days. It was a great project and will stay in my memory forever...
And I love to be out of my comfort zone - I did skydiving, bungee jumping, horseback riding, hitchhiked alone and much more.
Teach, Learn, Share
On my way:
- I like sharing travelling stories. I can share my experiences from travelling the European countries & USA.
- I can teach you some funny Czech words and tell you about my country.
- I'd like to learn about your culture, your lifestyle and city/country you live in.
- we can also talk about the maps :)
In Czechia:
- I'll show you the city and tell you some stories about Czech history.
- We can cook together, but if you would like to eat some Czech specialities like Svíčková, I will take you to a restaurant :)
- In case you will stay for more than 1-2 nights, I will recommend you to travel outside of city to see more from our beautiful country ;)
