I live in Prague with a dog Anca which I adopted with my ex-partner from a dog shelter. (The dog is in a shared custody now:). I work with homeless women in an organization I co-founded with my friend. I love food in all forms - tasting, eating, cooking, smelling, touching - but I am more and more shifted towards conviction that you don´t need to harm any living being to have a delicious food! So, I go VEGAN:). I drink good wine (a lot!) and I never say no to a beer. I have a small yard where I try to grow some plants. I love DYI culture, although it is more on theoretical level, cause I´m really busy. I´ve fallen for kettlebell workouts. I appreciate when people have a sense of humour (especially the black one). And I am a feminist:).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I don´t like capitalism and this is a good way how to undermine it:). Because I think it´s a great way how to learn something about the place you travel to and people who live there. Because I love stories. Becase I have a futon I can offer. Because I´d like to use yours if necessary:). I used to share a profile with my ex-partner so if you look for some references please check his profile: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/polokov/references.

I really appreciate if you can tell me more why you want ME to host YOU!
No racism, sexism and homophobia is tolerated at my place...

Music, Movies, and Books

Come and talk about it!:) But randomly selected: The National, Nick Cave, Eisturzende Neubauten, Devendra Banhart, Spiritual Front, Amanda Palmer, Fever Ray, Lykke Li, Portishead, The Knife, The Smiths and so much more... Mostly "happy" music, as my friend put it:). Indie rock/pop, post-punk, dream pop, alternative music! Now, I have a new passion for tango. Love to share music!

I´m a daughter of a librarian, so in general, I can´t stop reading. I´m an ecclectic reader with a strange passion for detective fiction. My favourite authors are Haruki Murakami, Zadie Smith, Orhan Pamuk, Sarah Waters, Jeanette Waterson, Kelly Link, Naomi Klein, Erica Jong, Scarlett Thomas, Nick Cave...

And yes, I love to go to the cinema... mainly to independent and alternative movies.

Recently, I danced tango in Buenos Aires.
