EN: Hi :) I am Michal, in Spanish countries Miguel or you can call me also "Fly" :). That is my trail name from PCT, where I was asking everyone, if they want to fly - to do acroyoga :).
I am addicted to hike in the mountains (hiked 16.000+ km), acroyoga and chocolate :).

If I am going to town to meet people on couchsurfing, it is for socialization, talking, to do acroyoga and to resupply for next hike :). I like cultural and music festival, traditions and stories, how you live. Normally i am trying to write to local surfers long time in advance and i ask for whatsapp/signal/telegram/line number, so when i know exact date of arrival, i can write message directly. As i love nature and hiking, sometimes weather can change plans, so i dont plan many days in advance. I know that then you might have another surfer or have other plans, but this is the way as it is...

I travel almost everywhere with my tent and sleepingbag, so if you dont have lot of space, I will be thankfull for sleeping in garden, on terrace or on the roof. I will be not for the first time :).

If you at home and you are planing to come to my place, you are welcome. I have extra bed, mattress, blankets, pillows, hammock, towells and some food :). People are around the world were great to me, so I would like to be great to you too :).

My phone/whatsapp/telegram/signal number is +421 908 172 159.
Whatsapp direct link: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=421908172159. Please, as I stutter and especialy on phone it goes pretty slow sometimes, just sent me messages, including link to your CS profile (for example like this link: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/michalknitl).

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

To fall in love, again and again :)
Pacific Crest Trail, CBT, WRHR, GDT
Long hug in the middle of square that random people joined and hugged us
Danced 4 hours with girl at place where just one person played on piano. During the time, many more musicians joined, many people changed on piano and we were still dancing :)

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Teach: acroyoga, snowboarding, how to pack light (and since 2025 i am also yoga instructor)
Learn: cook better vegan/vegetarian dishes :), improve dancing :)
