Hi, I am originally from Prague, Czech Republic and currently visiting New Zealand, based in Blenheim.

I love being outdoors, walking, hiking, cycling, swimming in lakes, rivers, seas. Always reading. Also trying a bit of yoga. Back home I love exploring old European towns, admiring the architecture and then ending up in a park, eating something delicious or gelato :) Not a real polyglot, but one day wannabe.

I am a friendly and respectful person.

I am very grateful to all couchsurfers that i was in touch in past with. Some kindly hosted me and gave me chance to get to know Barcelona, Ljubljana, Koper, Madrid, Bologna, Altamura, Cagliari etc., some simply provided me with advice about the places. Thank you guys! I´ve hosted people only a few times, still don ´t have the best conditions to do it more. Hopefully once in the future, in this way or another, I´ll give back the hospitality I've encountered.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Discovering new places, ideas, music, flavours and getting to know other people (and through this maybe also getting to know myself better) is what i am looking for.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two weeks at self-sustainable farm in Basilicata, Italy. Mungere le capre tre settimane in Sardegna l´estate dopo. Und vorjährige Sommer die Kühe in der Schweiz weiden. A classic city girl, I know :)

Via degli dei ... ok a part of it, but still unforgettable.

Swimming in January in the Adriatic sea in Koper with Monika while on Erasmus!

Part of Camino de Santiago few years ago, need to come back and walk the whole route.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn and practise English and Italian, always forgetting the words, always ecstatic when finding them.

Rispetto italiano ... non vi posso mentire, dopo tanti anni me lo sento come la mia seconda lingua, pero se mi parlate in modo troppo veloce o aggiungete un po´di dialetto, vi troverete davanti alla mia faccia completamente confusa e sulle labbra solo "scusa, non capisco un c..." :D Non parlando di mia abilita di rispondere... non parlo da un po´, quindi abbiate pazienza con me, per favore :)

Es ist sehr komisch wann ich deutsch sprechen versuche :D

Espanol me encanta muy, pero entiendo y hablo pochito. Solo por ahora!

If you speak persian I would be eager to learn few new words of this beautiful language. The same with greek (still remember to say that I am tired, that i want an orange juice and that you are crazy :D)

Of course I can teach you how to order gulash and beer in czech.

Share a cup of tea and a piece of cake :)
