About Me

I love travelling so I try to find every opportunity to go somewhere.
I do not necessarily visit too many new countries as my studies predestined me to visit mostly Spanish speaking countries and I really like coming back to places that I have visited. I have been to Peru three times, I love that country and its people. I hope to visit more countries in Latin America though.

I am quite talkative and like to share my experience and also like to listen to experience of others and learn from them.

My dream is to visit as many countries as possible and to speak fluently at least 4 foreign languages :)

I believe that everything in our life happens for a reason. And everything even if it is bad usually leads to something good.

I like to keep my mostly optimistic and happy mood and not let anyone spoil it :)

I also believe in setting my goals higher and trying harder to achieve them :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have already hosted some people and it has been a great experience however, it's difficult for me to host anyone most of the time as I still live with my parents and in the dorms. Still, I like sharing different stories with each other and the culture and I am looking forward to hosting again :)

I have had a really nice experience hosting some people when I could cook for them something czech and they cooked for me their meals, I was happy to show them around and teach them something about my culture and generally exchange our outlooks on life.
I have also been couchsurfing once, it was very helpful as I was in the beginning of Erasmus.
But mostly I have met people via CS events and just hanging out or showing around.
I hope to meet more CS people in the future :)

Interests

I get interested in almost everything you will tell me about. Just say something nice about it ;)

However, my favourite things to do are meeting people, learning and practicing languages, travelling, discovering interesting and secret places, cooking, trying out new meals, hanging out in parks, reading interesting books, listening to music and secretly dancing to it in my room, shopping, talking to my friends, blogging and taking pictures of everything possible ;)

I love adventure and spontaneous trips but I always need a little push from someone to do it :) so you know what to do ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love latin rythm, funky, jazz, rock, pop, almost anything... :)

I enjoy reading books when I find time. I read anything, I enjoy the classics in Spanish or English, but I also really like psychology books, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first big foreing experience was nannying in England and Spain. I had to learn to deal with tough situation, learn foreign language, meet a lot of great people, be a stranger, find new friends, live in foreign environment, be independent but still depend on someone, to lose home and find a quick solution... :)

Later, I got to go on a studying exchange to Spain. I spent 5 months studying there at the University of Burgos. It was such a great experience, actually my first of finding my own appartment to live (so many stories about that), living on my own, dealing with the exams and so on :)

However, my biggest experience so far was living in Peru and getting to know the culture and dealing with it. I loved it although many times I was upset because of the misunderstandings that I had to face.

Every experience teaches me something and I appreciate it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to teach you about the Czech customs, the language and maybe cook or bake something. I can also show you around Liberec if I am not having my class otherwise I will be very happy to give you any advise about how to get somewhere :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to learn bits from different cultures. The things that connects us and the things that are different. Something about the food, the way people live and the language :)

I like to share stories from travels and life, I am sure we would have loads to talk about :)
