ABOUT ME
A 23-year-old student, trying to live my life to the fullest, screwed up in a positive way :)
In constant search for new adventures, friendships and experiences.
Curious, open-minded and thoughtful person.
Amiable, friendly and outgoing, so they say.
I believe each person is unique and has his/her own story to tell. I'm always more than happy and excited to meet new people from all around the world, share thoughts and have fun with them.
Travelling, trying out new things and exploring other countries/cultures are among my top interests.
I'm fond of extreme sports and everything that involves adrenaline, sightseeing and new adventures.
I'd love to visit as many places and get to know as many people as possible.
PHILOSOPHY
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
My couch is available to anyone who wishes to come to my city, provided I'm free and have some time.
I always take a little gift for my hosts and try to answer all their questions concerning my country/nationality.
Also by sharing my thoughts and experiences - that's what it's all about, right? :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Not a whole lot of things to boast about here, as I'm still a begginer.
I've surfed to some friends in Czech Rep., Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Germany so far.
Perhaps the most memorable experience was when together with my Czech host we took a trip into the mountains and got lost - despite that fact, we'd had a great time and walked from the woods only the next day :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was still in High School, we went on a trip to Paris.
Our hotel was located about 50km away from the city (on purpose, so no one would ever think of going out at night). Together with my friends I decided to sneak out at night and go to Paris on our own. The risk was huge - we could've gotten ourselves expelled from the school.
Nevertheless, I prepared a detailed plan of how to get there and how to find our way in the city itelf. I even consulted an old friend of mine who lived in Paris.
We had to take a taxi, then a train and finally use metro. When we got off, we had to walk for another 2km to get where we wanted. Eventually, we got there - it was the Eiffel Tower. We smoked a Cuban cigar, which tasted like victory. After a while we headed back.
We arrived at the hotel just in time for the breakfast (08:15). Our teachers and others were totally unaware of what we've just accomplished. Only the 4 of us knew, and we were sitting there, eating hungrily, with big smiles on our faces ;)
