About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live fully every moment

ABOUT ME

I consider myself a friendly, sociable and open-minded person. I'm easy-going, a little crazy and I love to laugh.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy every moment of your existence and follow your dreams.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf couches, host people and enjoy it a great deal :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met tons of great people thaks to CS and each of them has been extremely nice and inspirative so far :-)...

Interests

I enjoy visiting cities and towns but I prefer hiking and making trips to the countryside. I love nature and so that I am interested in nature protection. I'm happy when I can create something - my own clothes or earrings, whatever... My other hobbies include languages (I study English and Spanish at the university), reading books and music - also playing musical instruments (currently, I'm trying to learn to play the digeridoo). I'm also really fond of dancing, especially to latin rythms of salsa, bachata, cha-cha etc. I love meeting interesting people and hanging out with them, which I consider the major purpose of traveling ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied in Colombia for four months and then made a two-month trip across South America starting from Ushuaia. At the beginning, we traveled hitch-hiking and finding accommodation via CS, which was the nicest part of the trip for me. However, the whole experience of America was absolutely mindblowing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm passionate about every foreign language, so I warn you that I always want to learn at least some basics of my host's language :-D. What can I teach? I'm sure we can find something (for example some weird Czech phonemes like ř) ;-)... We can share our stories, experience, smiles and especially the present moment ... :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hapiness, joy, smiles
WARNING: My laugh is contageous! ;-)
