About Me

I'm 29 yo teacher from the Czech Republic, who likes traveling, meeting new people and sharing experiences with them. I'm friendly, talkative, and cheerful person, who just wants to spread some positive energy.
For the time being, I have managed to visit many European countries and spent the first half of 2017 on an internship in Moscow not only by discovering beauties of Russia. In 2018, I was lucky to have a chance to visit China and stay there for 3-month's internship trying to get familiar with Eastern culture, study Chinese and teach one of the most difficult languages in the world - Czech... In 2019, I stayed in Turkey for an Erasmus+ programme in Akyaka, Mugla. Five months of studying, traveling and never-ending fun :)) What's more, at that time I managed to visit Cyprus, Iran and during the summer holidays also some Central Asian countries.
Thanks to my current job of a teacher, holidays are the perfect opportunity to travel and make contact with new people.
And where will we meet next? Who knows... :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanna meet new friends and discover new places all over the world. I'm an open-minded person who likes to share all the experiences and would be happy to be inspired by you and your stories.

Interests

I really enjoy learning languages. I am a native speaker of Czech language, I speak English and Russian, and I studied Latin for two years. At university, I studied Polish for three semesters, French for one semester, and I also tried to learn Hungarian during my internship in Russia. In 2018, I undergone a really intensive course of Chinese language. So far, the last attempt was to study Turkish and a bit of Romanian.
