About Me

I'm an introvert with strong desire to be social, thus challenging myself. I strongly believe that the beauty is hidden literally anywhere on this world, what matters is the way you look at it.
I study animation, so I draw a lot. :) I enjoy art and animated films/cartoons, as well as good books and stories. I'm interested in indigenous cultures, mythologies and an idea of animism. My adoration of animals is infinite. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After half of a year living abroad, I started to look differently at the travelling experience. I really enjoy meeting people from different countries and cultures, finding similarities and being curious about differences. It is a form of learning and it can help one to grow very much.

Interests

I love music - I play hurdy gurdy, piano, accordion, mandolin and I started to learn a little bit of guitar too. But it is more a "gypsy style", playing from heart and joy. I sing a lot and when I'm not singing there is probably some song playing in my head.

I see nature as our home, the place you are coming back to yourself. Hiking is great way how to exhaust your body and enjoy this beautiful world at the same time!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played the mandolin on a top of one Norwegian mountain. Above the sea of clouds. :)
I adopted a pup in Slovakia and I managed to travel with her to Bretagne and Norway. Her name is Alma.
Me and my friend found a puppy in Bosnia while hitchhiking, managed to get her to Czech Republic and found a new home for her.

I can teach you how to order beer in Czech (they say we have the best in the world, truth or not, it is definitely worth trying).
Also I can explain how the animated movies work :) and show you some short films I've done.
