About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I`m about to move to Vietnam for a year to teach English. I'm very excited about this new adventure :)

ABOUT ME

Adventurous, cheerful, easy-going, open-minded, love meeting new people and learning about different cultures

PHILOSOPHY

The way to happiness is: keep your heart from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, give much. Fill your life with love. Do as you would be done by.

Only those who will risk going too far,
can possibly find out, how far one can go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far as a couchsurfer but hope to host when I finally settle down and have my own place

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´ve met some wonderful people in NZ, Australia and Bali through couchsurfing.

Interests

I love my job and students I teach. I enjoy reading, watching movies or documentaries. I´m keen on most of summer and winter sports. I felt in love with NZ outdoors when I lived there for almost a year. I enjoy chatting with my friends in one of many good caffee houses in Brno or Prague. I love backpacking and photography.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like movies based on true stories, movies that can inspire you or challenge your way of thinking. I also enjoy historical movies and human rights documentaries.

Some of my favourite movies include: Zelary, Beautiful Mind, Intouchable, Three needles, Les Miserables, Josua Tree, Mr Nobody, Eat, Pray and Love. The full list of films and documentaries which I enjoy can be found on my website: http://cms.zapiskyzcest.webnode.cz/movies/.

Both fiction and non-fiction, books about travelling but also books on psychology, sociology or teaching. My favourite authors are Philip Yancey, Gregory Boyd or Henry Cloud. Some of the books I enjoyed reading were Alchymist, Labyrint Sveta a raj srdce, Jdi za zelenym sve›tlem, Reaching for the invisible God, How People Grow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have travelled on Australia´s "death road" and survived! You can ask me about that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I´d love to learn about you as a person, your culture, your country or your favourite recipe.
