About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Graduate and enjoy life in the meantime

ABOUT ME

Sometimes lazy, sometimes active, like board games, summer, beer, wine, tea, good food, good movies (e.g. Star Wars, 12 Angry Men, Clockwork Orange, My Fair Lady, The Help....), favourite music - silence actually, then laugh and conversation, but if must say I prefer czech music and sometimes a bit of Oasis, Beatles, RHCP (loved their show in Prague in 2012!), I am interested in anatomy and I passed courses at Red Cross on first aid, I also like ZOOs, I can't decide between being a cat person and a dog person, I'm quite tiny (157cm), even though I have a driver's license I really can't drive - not even a bicycle, I don't smoke, I hate it when my phone is ringing out loud, love putting things in order and labeling stuff - I can do it for you and I'll be SOOO happy!, I can't draw or sing or play an instrument but it's my dream to have a piano at home... well this is already too much about me. Oh and I have a baaad sense of direction just like any other wo/man...

PHILOSOPHY

Well I try to live in the moment and enjoy everything - there is no such thing as a bad life experience. I look on the positive side of things and try to get the best out of everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far! I live in Brno and I share a flat with other students and unfortunately it's quite impossible to let you stay there. I try to help foreigners as much as I can though - I do tutoring for Erasmus Student Network so I have experience with organizing trips to Brno or basically any other city if you are in need for a guide or finding accomodation and so on - don't hesitate to ask anything!

Interests

Spending the day in the mountains or in an interesting city with my friends, at home with my relatives, in the playground with my niece...I don't really care about where I am as long as I am with someone I like. Then cooking, arranging any kind of surprises for my friends (I hate being surprised myself), any manual work when taught how to do it, taking care of children, WATCHING OTHERS do sports! I don't know, there's so much of this

Music, Movies, and Books

I listed movies and music above, so books - I loved Don't Let Me Go, Great Expectations, To Kill a Mockingbird and What I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, didn't really enjoy My Ántonia at first and can't get myself to finish The World According to Garp. So yes, I read, but I'm not the crazy person who stands in the crowd for the new Harry Potter book (I don't like HP)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Holding my niece for the first time, the view from the Signal Hill in Cape Town, the atmosphere in Camden Town, London... Also waiting for a sunrise in the mountains, seeing a hippopotamus eating...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you where to put your ships in Battleship so that your chance of winning is higher, funny card game called Nerves or dice game called Machacek (you will get drunk when playing this one), I can teach you how to write in Cyrillic (áзбука) or maybe some Czech words if you are interested, basics about first aid including embarrasing demonstrations... I'd love to learn how to make a good carrot cake, how to play the piano and I would love to be taught something about gardening.
