Hello there, I'm Simon.

I'm from Czechia, although I lived in the UK for 3 years, where I studied Global Sustainable Development at the University of Warwick. Afterwards, I went to New Zealand to hike the Te Araroa trail and ended up staying for a couple of months after I successfully finished the thruhike.

Since then, I've been back at home in Ostrava, working on my environmental NGO and hoping to soon start a Master's in Edinburgh or move to Prague.

Since childhood I've been a part of an international youth-led NGO "Plant-for-the-Planet", eventually founding its Czech office. Together we aim to fight the climate crisis by launching a global reforestation of one trillion trees.

I'm also a passionate amateur musician, playing the piano, guitar, ukulele and harmonicas. I often try to write poetry.

And obviously, I love to travel. Above everything I appreciate a good hike, forests, mountains or water. Nevertheless, I also get amazed by the beauty of cities at night – considering there's plenty of greenery included.

Finally, I'm super excited about the couchsurfing community, even though I've barely scratched the surface of what it can offer.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I want to experience the country I'm visiting and getting to know its people is an important part of it which doesn't happen in hotels. That's why I am on couchsurfing. And as I love to hear the stories of others, I'll be happy to host someone in the future too in the UK or in Czechia.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

In 2022-23, I hiked the Te Araroa Trail, over 3000 km on foot across the length of New Zealand, took me 5,5 months and was an absolutely life-changing experience.

教，学，和分享

I'm always keen on playing music together with people if I can get my hand on a guitar/piano/ukulele and sing together.
