About Me

CURRENT MISSION

breaking the waves (long-term) , learn swing dance (short-term)

ABOUT ME

sceptic optimist with inclination to naivety
pragmatist who believes everything is possible
too shy sometimes, too loud sometimes, speak too much sometimes, stubborn always
but generally good girl I guess ;)

PHILOSOPHY

"..you need to understand the rules so you can break them intelligently.."

"..be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. What you'll discover will be wonderful: yourself.."

"..respect.."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

AS HOST
I enjoy hosting people. Crowded apartment somehow doesn't bother me. Preferably welcome are cooks, dishwashers, music addicted and nature lovers.
I expect guests to be independent during the day and I gladly join them evening for some pub, concert or whatever.

AS GUEST
As a guest I'm polite (hosting tought me) and not demanding (was always). I love visiting people's homes. I'm definitely for surfing countryside's couches, mountain cottages and boats (didn't try yet).

AS GUIDE
I'll not guide you through the city. The tourist stuff and sightseeing things bother me a lot. Every day Prague sightseeing tours for free here.

But what I really like is guiding through Czech music scene. So if you need some recommendations for live concerts ask me.

Forget about Pilsner and Gambrinus and try czech beer brands Svijany, Bernard, Polička, Černá Hora, Poutník and other unfiltered and unpasteurized beers.

For meetings CS people in Prague go here.

Info for disabled CS visiting Prague here. I'm quite experienced in crossing through Prague's barriers as I've worked as assistant to disabled people. If you need some additional info ask me.

AS TRAVELLING PARTNER
I'm always ready for some hitchhiking....to east preferably ;)
