ABOUT ME

I´m a shy woman who loves to be surrounded by people :D

PHILOSOPHY

Self-respect is a fundamental key to self-esteem.
We cannot hope to feel consistently good about ourselves
unless we are consistently living a life which respects our own values.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a few years in a L´Arche Community in Liverpool where people with and without learning disabilities live and work together. That was the most interesting and enriching time of my life so far!

Teach, Learn, Share

I´m not sure what I can teach but if you want to learn something that I know or can do, I´ll be more than happy to teach you! :DThe obvious thing is that I can perhaps teach you some Czech phrases or tell you something about my hometown or my country, but that´s just what a host would do anyway, I suppose... I would like to learn - more languages, especially French (I´ve already made a few unsuccessful attempts :D), Polish, German... - something practical (for a change from my usual learning experience:D) - how to play a musical instrument (I´ve always admired anybody who had managed to learn that:))- how to do a fire show- more recipes for cooking and baking some delicious food
