Hi! I'm Petra. I love living in different countries, travelling, getting to know new places, cultures and people. I'm a curious person, interested in almost everything, but really interested in the topics I mention in 'My interests' section. :)

I was born, grew up and spent my teen years in Czech Republic. Moved to London after finishing high school in 2007. Lived there for 3 years. Then moved for a year to Mexico City (my University year abroad). From May 2011 to September 2011 travelled in Central and South America. Went back to London to finish University.

I left London again in November 2012 and have been travelling since then, mostly in Asia, Oceania, Australia, New Zealand and Europe.

PHILOSOPHY:

The present moment is a present. Don't let your mind wonder in the past or in the future. Otherwise you will miss the PRESENT completely!
[Eckhart Tolle]

I've been a vegetarian for 20 years and vegan for the last 6 years . Why?
I don't want to cause suffering.
I care about the environment.
I care about my health.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted by a lot of great people in different parts of the world and would like to thank them for being so helpful and generous. I surfed on many different 'couches' and I can say that 90% of my hosts were really lovely people who I would like to meet again. (I had some weird experience on CS, too, but good experience prevail.)
Once I have space to accommodate travellers, then I will definitely start hosting. I would like to give back what I have received!
