CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy it while it lasts!

ABOUT ME

I am a graduate student of plant molecular biology, which is very important to me, but it may not seem so from how much time I should spend studying I actually spend doing other stuff.
I used to run a small non-profit organization which offers children and young people with various physical or mental handicaps various free-time activities - learn more about it at www.ramus-os.cz. Although the site is in Czech only, you can understand much of what we do just from the pictures. Since I passed the leadership on to a friend of mine, I am trying to figure out what's going to be my next big project :)
I suck at sports, especially team sports, always have, always will. I'm trying my best though :-) I used to fence a little, currently I try to at least go swimming at a regular basis
I love cooking! I usually get bored cooking just for myself though, so if you let me surf your couch, I will cook you a nice dinner and everyone will be happy!

PHILOSOPHY

Anything can be done if you don't have a lazy mouth!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a bunch of couches in Switzerland, Germany and France. I host people from time to time, when the time is right and when I like the request, I prefer quality over quantity when it comes to couchsurfing :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My Erasmus in Karlsruhe would have sucked if not for CouchSurfing - I found a room to rent at a CS event, I hung out almost exclusively with couchsurferrs and t was great! The days I've spent with my beloved Natalia surfing around Europe in 2011 were definitely some of the best days in my life.
