CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy this life to its fullest, meet new people and be open to new experiences.

ABOUT ME

I LOVE traveling and meeting new people. I think this is one of the best ways to open your mind and consciousness. Love how traveling is all about being in the moment and being open to life's next experience…whatever that may be. I love exploring new cultures and experiencing them to the fullest. Enjoy walking around the place I am visiting, meet new people and find local places to hang out. I am a very happy person and love to smile. I grew up in San Francisco and the bay area. I know California and the area very well. So if you ever come to the bay area I could show you some cool spots and a general good time.

Currently I live in Prague Czech Republic where I go to medical school. I am enjoying very much living in the Czech Republic and exploring Europe in my free time (which is not too much since med school is pretty demanding). I live here with my 13 year old son.

I make beer, cheese, ferment things, hunt for mushrooms and local food, love to cook and eat yummy food and share with friends. I am all about eating and growing organic food, though when I travel I will eat about anything, food is one of the best ways to learn about a culture. Love to dance and listen to live music. Try to ride my bike around as much as possible. I am always down for an adventure. I have a very open mind and am pretty much down for anything. Somewhat spiritual person, being spiritual to me means being open and present, non judgmental, to have an open heart and to give love and be generous, and to always smile because it feels good, laughter and happiness is healing. Alright that's a little bout me…..

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the moment be open to what life presents to you with an open heart. Laugh, enjoy, celebrate, dance, create, help others

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am open to hosting people. But you will be sharing space with me and my son and my roommate. I have nice blow up mattress I can put in my living room. Sometimes it takes me a while to respond if I am getting quite busy with school or exams I can get sucked into a vortex. My place is nice if you want nice relaxing place to be your home base while you stay in Prague. Not really space for people wanting to party or go to pub crawl and come home drunk at 3 in morning... sorry :P
