I recently became a teacher in forest primary school - imagine only 18 kids in the whole school and at least 4 hours a day being and learning outside. Among that, I love to knit. I even design my own pieces and write knitting patterns. I'm also a scout leader, sister of Iva, aunt of Julia and Czech citizen who is amazed that even after living abroad and moving 9 times, I'd move to a house located in the same village where I grew up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think I would love to see and feel the city through eyes of locals. Not through tripadvisor's recommendations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saved a piece of forest. I went for a 20 km walk in a forest, I heard, then smelled and saw an expanded open fire. I called the firemen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach you how to knit :-)
