About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Appreciate all the good things in life and see the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded and tolerant optimist who loves to listen to people's stories and opinions. Even though I'm an introvert and thus usually quite silent and calm, I'm trying my best to come out of my shell during my travels. I enjoy working with children because I admire their unspoilt view of the world and original fantasy.

PHILOSOPHY

"People with good hearts are the ultimate winners"
Always stay open-minded, understanding and respectful of people's choices and opinions.
I'd rather spend money on experiences than material things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently live with my parents in a small village in Eastern Bohemia so not a very likely place of interest but I hope to move to Prague and host in summer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was traveling the UK for three weeks in 2014 and all of the awesome couchsurfers were one of the best experiences during that trip. Truly inspirational people! And I met the kindest person in Scotland thanks to my couchsurfing in Glasgow! :)

Interests

Of course I love traveling and exploring new cultures and places! I prefer to wander around, learn about the history and culture and enjoy the atmosphere rather than organised tours. I'm also into languages so I'd love to learn at least a few phrases or words wherever I go.

In my free time I enjoy calming walks in the nature, reading, watching some TV series or youtubers and listening to various kinds of music - I'd always appreciate a good recommendation!
I admire any kind of creativity so I'm very much up for a gallery, poetry slam or some music performance rather than a wild party.
Also - food is the joy of my life even though I'm not an amazing cook myself :D

TV shows: Daredevil, Sense8, Penny Dreadful, Orange is the New Black, Game of Thrones...

Reading: Wilde, Pratchett, Murakami, Tolkien,... lately quite into YA.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching my little sister growing up.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Czech, a few easy recipes or how to fit in the dessert even thought you're already full :)
I love to listen to people talking about something they're passionate about so if you'd like to rant about something to someone, I'd love to learn about it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook some simple Czech food for you and hopefully infect you with my positive mindset :)
