About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Buying a new guitar :)

ABOUT ME

I am a Czech girl who loves languages and travelling, Spanish speaking countries being close to my nature ;)

I fell in love with literature a long time ago but unfortunately I cannot read so much because of work.

Meeting new people make me look at the world in more positive way.

As well I must admit that I like japanese cartoons and cats :)

One day I would love to write.

PHILOSOPHY

All's well that ends well!

Music, Movies, and Books

As for movies, I adore Tarantino´s first movies, same as Peter Jackson´s. Then there si Carlos Reygadas with his provocative naturalism, Kieslowski´s Three colours with amazing music, Švankmajer, Leos Carax, Alejandro Jodorowski (!)... And of course, Harold and Maude!Music - my great obsession along with literature - I like the old grunge bands, Mike Patton, the Cure, Pixies, Sonic Youth, Julian Casablancas, Built to spill, old Czech hip hop Manželé, Slovenian Ludovik Material, RGTM, Edward Elgar, flamenco after being in Spain!And literature would be a neverending story, so I just put some: Hesse, Bulgakov, Roth, Cortazar, Valdes, Nettel, Serna,Juan Hernandez Luna, The rhyme of the ancient mariner, comic books - Lobo, Marjane Satrapi, manga... One of the best books I encountered lately was Alfred´s Kubin The other side which I strongly recommend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eating great home made fabada with our great host in Gijon! Seeing butterflies in Piedra Herrada! Visiting surrealist castle in Xilitla!
Seeing my friend happy on her wedding day ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am eager to learning everything new, maybe some guitar tricks? ;)

I can offer true Czech experiences, for example how to make "chlebicek" or something not so simple, hehe :D; teach Czech or Spanish, teach you how to whistle...
