Overview
About Me
I'm a 26-year-old girl, currently based in Prague, Czech Republic.
Right now I'm in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. I'm traveling with a friend, but keen on meeting other fellow travellers ^^
I love exploring different cultures while working abroad and that's why I've managed to do five internships abroad during my master's. And now that I've graduated, I hope to carry on traveling, maybe even more! :D
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because meeting locals is what it's all about.
Because I'd rather explore not that well-known places and search for 'hidden gems' instead.
Because I think I'm still too young for staying in boring hotels :D
When in Prague, I'm happy to check your itinerary for you (i.e. you can ask me questions like "is this place worth visiting?") but usually I am too busy to hang out. You can definitely try to ask me though! Unfortunately I can't offer you a place to stay during your travels since my flatmates are not willing to do so, sorry for that.
When staying abroad, I like meeting people for hanging out and for staying with them. To be honest, I prefer people of the same age as me and while staying in someone's place, I'm happy to hang out with the host and have a good conversation in the evenings or for a few hours but definitely not during the whole stay. The reason is that my travel pace can be quite fast for some people and then it's quite difficult to get by. I also like to plan my own itinerary.
Interests
I enjoy music in general, sing in a choir and used to play recorder for 7 years. My favourite leisure activity is attending gigs as well as helping to plan them (I'm lucky enough to have friends who organise concerts so I can take part, too). Every summer I look forward to going to music festivals.
I'm also a keen traveler, love to meet new people and talk to them, because I feel this is one of the best ways to move forward in life - to listen to those who have actually something to say.
Oh and I like learning languages! Unfortunately I'm fluent in Czech and English only and now I'm working on my German (currently B1 level).
