Originally from Czechia; living in Barcelona since 2019. I'm a very sociable, easy-going, and reliable person. I write software documentation for a living.

I’ve got a master’s in teaching English as a second language, and I've worked as both an English tutor and a translator from English into Czech.

My core values:
– kindness and human connection
– courage
– simplicity
– contribution
– personal growth
– integrity and accountability
– fun

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, discussing ideas, travelling, and learning languages.

Teach, Learn, Share

– I'm a technical writer and a geek at heart – I'll be happy to share my knowledge of how to work productively on a computer and what constitutes good technical writing.

– I'm a former English teacher, and enjoy helping other people with their English. I love learning languages and I'm always ready to discuss various attitudes and approaches toward language learning.

– I play the piano – we can have a music session and play and sing together.

– I juggle, and I can teach you the basics.

– I like chess and can play with you, give you some tips, or teach you a bit – depending on your level.

– I enjoy playing games on my Nintento Switch connected to the TV – we can play some fun local co-op games.
