Overview
About Me
I am working in the mountains in January and February, so I am not hosting.
Have a nice winter and see you in spring!
CURRENT MISSION
be the change I would like to see in the world
ABOUT ME
I study Environmental Studies at the university in Czech republic which involves many different paradigms, subjects and fields.
For me the most important is the consciousness of our everyday action - to ourselves, to other people and to the nature.
I did quite a bit of woofing (volunteering on farms and homestays) and I see it as a great way of learning not only about food production, but also about different lifestyles and cultures.
PHILOSOPHY
I got inspired a lot by books of Jack Kornfield and Satish Kumar who made the Eastern spiritual teachings more accessible for the West
I prefer gift economy (like couchsurfing) to the monetary one as it encourages people' s kindness and care for others rather than making profit out of each other.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I can meet somebody for coffee and drink and show him|her Prague or Brno if I am there
As I live pretty much nomadic life now I can't offer hosting at the moment. I plan to settle down in autumn so for those interested in rural experience there will be a place
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have hosted once and it was a great experience and I was hosted once in Belgrade and it was amazing too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
sometimes happens you meet somebody..see each other for a first time but you understand each other like you know him/her for ages
Teach, Learn, Share
I can take you for climbing or a lecture of pole dance or offer a relaxing massage
I would love to share the philosophy of non-violence and compassion and learn more how to bring it to everyday life. I think meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures is a great opportunity to be aware how do we think and act.
What I Can Share with Hosts
stories from volunteering, hitch-hiking, travelling
