Dear fellow Couchsurfer, welcome to my profile! 👋🏻

It is a pleasure meeting you! Let me introduce myself:

Born in the Czech Republic 🇨🇿, spent my gap year volunteering in the Canary Islands 🇮🇨 and now studying international business in Finland. 🇫🇮

And even though I am a certified kylteri (a biz student), I have closer to social sciences and literature than financial spreadsheets.

I don’t fancy big parties but I am always up for some good green tea, sauna, or a random talk at 2 a.m.

Ready to do something spontaneous, super enthusiastic to talk about anything ranging from politics and anthropology to crypto!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

“Happines is only real when shared,” Christopher McCandless said. 🏞 For me, CS is a great place for sharing food and sofa, as well as laugh and memories.
