About Me

I'm friendly, positive and open-minded. I can be very lively, and quite shy sometimes, enjoy a party with friends or read a book alone for long hours.

I like testing the limits of my comfort zone.

I always had a dream of traveling the world long-term, work and learn languages and do something that matters. I'm finally doing exactly that, enjoying every moment of it!

Things I especially enjoy:
- coffee, lots
- coming from Pilsen, CZ, the home of all lager beer, I would be crazy not to like it :). Also good wine, dry
- chilling in a hammock
- building and fixing things

MOTTO
Never stop learning! Don't pee against the wind!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the world is full of friends we just haven't met yet.

I'd like to meet like-minded people and travel enthusiasts all over the world.

I prefer staying with locals, learning about their way of life, cuisine, hobbies.

I hope to be able to return the favour one day when I settle down.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my 9-to-5 job and started looking for a meaningful vocation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love travel planning, sharing tips and must-see experiences abroad so I can help you if you're considering a trip to Europe, South Africa or the USA - South West, USVI.

I can give the most detailed advice on visiting the Czech Republic, tasting beer, places to see, things to do...

I love discussing languages, both teaching and learning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking either typical Czech meals, or simply any healthy and nourishing menu.

I can cook dinner, of course help with chores or do a small work/DIY project.
