Currently studying Hospitality Management, working in the kitchen of a raw vegan café in Prague, and doing commercial photography.
I also do Postcrossing ✉️

I can communicate in Czech, Russian, and English; I understand French to a certain extent.

In my free time, I walk, dance, cook, take pictures, drink coffee, write short notes, attend gigs and theatre plays, do thrift shopping, contemplate the future of our planet, and water my plants.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy exploring different cities, cultures and nature as well as meeting new people and building a greater network of acquaintances. We educate each other!

Music, Movies, and Books

As for music, I prefer hard and alternative rock, heavy, thrash, and progressive metal, new wave, synth-pop, indie, britpop, blues, and jazz.
Frankly speaking, I can listen to almost anything!
The motion pictures I like are As Good as It Gets, In Bruges, The Theory of Everything, Grand Hotel Budapest, Harry Potter, About Time, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Goodbye, Lenin!
I enjoy watching biographies and truly value European cinema (not mentioning the names here).
My childhood was influenced by Doctor Who. In 2013 I had a chance to see the studio (Roath Lock, Cardiff). However, I stopped watching this TV series.
Current favourites: Chernobyl, Westworld, Mindhunter, IT Crowd, and Black Mirror (very few episodes)
