About Me

CURRENT MISSION - see and explore as much of Chicago as possible.

I try to keep open minded. Enjoy getting to know interesting people, information. Talks about various things. I will never push my opinion on you. I love dancing and can dance salsa cubana, a bit of bachata and zouk. I also can cook and like to run, bike, hike... And watch (not only) netflix shows.

...................
Keeping my last mission below. Because I am sentimental.

Updated: At this moment I am moving to Prague. When I do so, I plan to host. To give back something to the community because so far, I did not have many opportunities to host. I will look forward to meeting interesting people.

*visiting Finland!*

to wash of routine and hopefully manage to see everything I missed last timeú see my most favourite places again and get too nostalgic about it it.

ABOUT ME
Shortly...
I wouldn't want to brag so I will use words that I have heard about myself: I am nice, attractive, inteligent, funny, sociable.
I would also add that I am sometimes talkative, sometimes quiet, enjoy speaking english, trying other languages. If you are into it..my sign is Pisces.
I have finally finished my studies. I have found a job that is not perfect but is nice (so far). I have finally at least financial independence now. I could live without meeting internationals so I was hanging out with Erasmus students in my city once in a while.

************************
CURRENT MISSION

find and get my travellers spirit back
ABOUT ME - old...why? It says something about me, how I was at the time of writing.

I was an exchange student in Finland for the year 2011/2012. My field of study is marketing and business, but generally i am little bit interested almost in everything. When meeting new people in the world I really enjoy just the feeling that we speak with each other. You know, simply the conversation with person from another backgrounds while sharing common languague, which allows us to speak with each other, is amazing. At home I don't live very social life, so I can't show you for example my favourite club or pub since I visit those places only occasionally, but sure I can show everything else (and the clubs of course too).

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoying the moment ---- Just do it ---- Happyness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of travelling (Runbech) ---- Why not (Jose Cordobes) --- I found out that Steve Jobs had something common with me. I aslo believe in connecting the dots even if you dont know if it will be useful in future. ---- Be kind, smile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

so far I hosted just once...and once been hosted. Both experiences went smoothly.

I don't believe in those reciprocal surfing. The "you don't host -> I won't host you" approach. Some locations are not that popular and there are not that many tourists or surfers coming as into major cities or capitals. I hope you get the message ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A czech girl contacted me via CS and asked me to travel with her around Finland. Although I couldnt accept the invitation I was happy to host her in my student appartment for a night. She was hell of a traveller and inspiring person. I reminded how beneficial can be to step out of the comfort zone and accept some adventure in your life. The other exp was my staying in Stockholm. I met a girl from Greece living there and she was kind and caring. So both my experiences went smoothly and I have no reason not to try it again.
