Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I moved to the Czech Republic in 2015 and am keen to explore the country and new ideas with new people. I live in Ceske Budejovice and am happy to host.
ABOUT ME
I love to travel and write (www.tomczaban.com). I'm interested in anything that helps me to grow as a person and I've been fortunate enough to meet people from all over the world who have helped me to do that.
I'm currently learning Czech and before that I was learning Chinese - I still haven't decided which is more difficult...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've been a member since 2013, but only recently started to host because before this I was living in China and there wasn't much call for it there.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I met some amazing couchsurfers in Hong Kong, and more recently I've found hosting here in the Czech Republic to be an interesting experience. Hosting travellers makes me feel like I'm travelling...without having to carry a massive backpack around.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like movies that make me think. Dumb and Dumber is great too though.
A few of my favourite authors: Jack Kerouac, Alan Watts, Seneca, Hemingway, Bill Bryson, Henry David Thoreau.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Produced a feature length documentary.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm an experienced teacher, so I can help you out with your English language skills!
I'm well-versed in sarcasm and happy to teach you this 'vital' skill.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I was going to say good conversation, but that's way too much pressure! What else...err...I've usually got a bottle of wine in the flat...
