About Me

I am a student living in Prague, studying Computer Science in my last year of master's degree. Beside the studies I try to gather a lot of experience at various places. I went to several tech internships, I tried a an internship at university, research program for undergraduates. I travel a lot (my biggest trip was 2.5 weeks in China, mostly hiking), I visited around 25 countries. I like meeting new people and talking about life. I like challenges, mostly when I see how I can improve by doing them. I enjoy playing sports, most of all ultimate frisbee and volleyball. I also like music, I play piano, guitar, recently also a violin and then a little bit on many other instruments. I organize math camps for high school students, trying to teach them what I know (from maths but also from life).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people because you always get a peek at a different way how to look on life. For me, travelling is not only about the places but also about the culture and about the people who live there.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like classical music (my favorite composer is Rachmaninoff) and then a lot of different pieces that can't be described together. But I love Piano Guys from youtube!
My favorite book might be East of Eden from Steinbeck (many interesting ideas and characters) or diaries of Alya Rakhmanova that describe the October Revolution revolution as viewed by a young girl who lives through terrible things but still manages to be an open and positive person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met with a bear, he was half a meter from me, while I was lying in my hammock.
