ABOUT ME

"Kristyna, hanging out with you is still better than staying at home with my dead cat." I'm afraid it was supposed to be a compliment...

I hate conflicts and quarrels. They drain the energy out of me. There are very few things in this world I find worth an argument. I am also very bad in coping with stress, that's why I eliminated it to the lowest possible level from my life (Yes, it IS possible :-) )

PHILOSOPHY

1) Nothing happens without a reason.
2) Whatever you do, good or bad, will get back to you somehow.

ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION !

I do NOT stay in Olomouc. I live in Přerov - a smaller town about 20 km from Olomouc (trains every 30 min, the last evening train at 11pm). If spending a night in beautiful, baroque, touristy Olomouc is what you're looking for, don't ask me for a couch.
If spending a night in unattractive, unknown Přerov where tourists are as common as unicorns is what you're looking for, do not hesitate to send me a request.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, surfing, meeting up for a drink.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only positive ones so far!

Interests

- French language, French culture
- Good books (anytime). Mediocre books (from time to time)
- Painting (especially on walls: http://botkovak.wix.com/kbmurals)
- Beer (obviously, I am Czech...)
- People (I actually prefer tete-a-tete meetings. Being among too many strangers rather intimidates me and I risk becoming the dullest and the most boring person in the world)
- Hiking ("Why the Hell I'm doing that?" is what I'm telling myself standing at the foot of a mountain. "Yeah, I did it!" is what I'm telling myself standing on its peak)
- Jogging (at 4 o'clock in the morning when streets are empty)
- Learning Spanish

On the other hand, don't expect me to:
- go clubbing with you (I am ridiculous when I dance. Every time I try, I always regret it afterwards)
- do any kind of sport involving ball
