Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To enjoy every moment of my life, it means to do all the things I really like, travelling is definitely included!
ABOUT ME
Dear all,
I am open-minded, still prepared to meet new people and to get to know them, it is one of the things I am really enjoying - discovering new cultures!
I was born in Prague and I lived there till the end of my Bachelor studies. Prague is just an incredible city and I am really proud that I am coming from there. Nevertheless, after that, I got an opportunity to come to Amsterdam and start to work there and because I love challenges I just decided to do it. I have been living there 3,5 years, finished my Master degree in Leiden, and after that I left to South America to travel, volunteer and internship a bit. Nowadays, I am living again in Prague, working in logistics in a beer company and studying long distance programme about Latin America, because I just love that region. I even made a tattoo of LA just few days ago :D
I just love travelling and my aim is to escape from the routine and to get to know new places and new people, because experience is what brings us together and CS is the best way how to do it!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have stayed on CS in Denmark, Italy, Germany, Mexico and Peru and I have met people in Amsterdam and Prague.
I am prepared and enthusiastic to experience more, couchsurfing is just a great concept to discover new cultures :)
Interests
Like I said, I love travelling so I can say that it is kind of my obsession, but I also really like sports like climbing, yoga, beach volleyball, jumping, skiing, badminton, etc.
I was studying my Master in Latin American Studies, so I am still kind of obsessed with their culture, Spanish language, salsa dance and whatever topic which is linked with Latin America (gender rights, human rights, violence, politics, food!). Nevertheless, I also love music, reading, watching movies and especially being in contact with my friends, because I think that without friends the life wouldn't make any sense.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Living my life for 100% every day!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you Czech and Spanish language, I can definitely show you how to cook some Czech and Mexican specialities and I can talk hours about Mexico and their intercultural educational system, because I did my research there. Just if you are interested ;)
I would love to learn anything what you can offer me, because it can broaden my view and give me new experience :)
