About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Succeed in this school semester and plan a next trip wherever I'll point my finger on a map

ABOUT ME

I'm young, open-minded and funny person who loves to travel anywhere. I love telling my stories and to hear stories from others.
My biggest nightmare is that I will have to stay on one place for the rest of my life. I cannot stay anywhere too long, because there are to many thing to see! My big dream is to make a trip around the world.
I love animals of all kind. I would like to have small ZOO, once. Right now I have a chameleon, two turtles and few spiders under my bed. I'm planning to adopt a pair of phelsumas.
I am a non-smoker person, but I don't mind people who smoke.

PHILOSOPHY

The best thing how to learn new things is to listen to the people and try to understand them. You can achieve anything if you want to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to teach and share everything I have with everybody who is interested.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have CSurfed few places in US but I am sure I will travel much more in a close future. I've hosted lot of my friends from all over the world even before I joined CS.

Interests

My big interested is my university. My major (which has unnecessary complicated name) is a combination of biology, chemistry and computer science. It's quite new field of study so lot of things are waiting to be discovered and who knows, maybe they are waiting just right for me.

As a true citizen of Czech Republic I love beer and I love to try local beers anywhere I go. I am also interested in local cuisine which is always delicious wherever I go.

I like traveling, experiencing new and sometimes crazy things, sports, hanging out with friends, partying, sightseeing, fishing and many more things. I am open for everything a I like to try anything before I can say that I don't like it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like more alternative and independent movies than mainstream because they usually have better ideas and messages. But I cannot say, that even mainstream movies cannot have something interesting to say. To be short - favourite directors are for example Guillermo del Toro, Tim Burton, Lars von Trier, Christopher Nolan, Danny Boyle, ...

I like almost every kind of music. It just has to have a rhythm and has to be interesting.

Books? I am not a big fan of books, because I usually don't have time to read them. And if I have to read something it is usually some book to school.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'am an adrenalin maniac. If I have an option to do or to try anything that rises my level of adrenaline I'm always in! Parachute jump, zorbing, climbing, biking and/or skying outside of roads, huge rollercoasters, going down the rapids and more and more. But my rule is that it has to be safe. I'm not a suicider.
