I grew up in the Czech Republic and 4 years ago moved to Edinburgh, Scotland to study Biological Sciences at uni. In my third year I went on an exchange to Singapore for a year. That was awesome! I used this opportunity to explore several countries in SE/E Asia, enjoying their very different culture, food and people. Now I am continuing in my studies, in Munich, for a change :) I am an easygoing person, like meeting people and learning their life stories. In my free time I try to plan trips, do sports, chill with tea. During my travels I am happy to try nearly everything - activities, food (especially!! :D), ...

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love traveling and want to learn about the places I visit. I think the best way how to get to know an unknown place and experience the best of it is to meet a local person who can give some tips where to go, what to try, what to miss and not to miss.
Music, Movies, and Books
I like nearly all kinds of music. Pop, rock, electroswing but also classic music. My favorite movie genre is drama but I don't mind watching comedies, documentaries and thrillers from time to time. Movies based on true stories are fun too. I used to read a lot. Now I read more scientific papers than books but when I have time I like to some novel or detective story. One of my favorite writers is Paulo Coelho.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
The best thing I have done is probably the decision to spend a year in Singapore, which gave me opportunity to visit many amazing places in Asia. In Cambodia I tried to eat insects for the first time in my life - a worm and grasshopper (??). Nice and crunchy...
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach to play some music instrument and dance ballroom dances. No singing though, I am bad in this. I can cook quite a few nice meals so I can teach you this too. I am happy to learn anything exciting. From sports and games to languages.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can share my experiences from my travels, funny stories and constant happy mood. Hope you will share these with me too!
My Interests
I like music. Not only listen but also produce. I play the flute, saxophone and African drum. Love traveling (both sight seeing and hiking in countryside) and getting to know new cultures. My personality is divided into two halves. One half likes to spend life actively. My favorite sports are hiking, cycling and volleyball and also other collective sports, as well as winter sports like snowboarding and skiing. And the other one enjoys relaxing, drinking tea, trying different cuisines, sitting in the sun by the lake/in the park. Besides these, I like learning about science that I study :)
