Talkative, friendly, open-minded, extrovert, smiling, curious, caring, sometimes having crazy ideas, trying to look at positive side of everything what is happening, adoring traveling and when coming to a new country always visiting a local bakery; trying to use wisely the time which we were given on this Earth, discovering wisdom hidden in people´s life stories and in old books.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

First time I was told about CS was several years ago, when I was traveling in train to my university city and talking to a student-traveler from Germany. The idea of CS seemed to me so crazy (staying at the place of unknown people, ect) but so fascinating at the same time (meeting local people, learning about the culture from inside and the possibility of not being a "tourist" but becoming a "traveler"). I kept hearing about CS from travelers more and more often and it took me some years to have my first experience. It was awesome. From that moment I am the one who is ecnouraging people around me for joining Couchsurfing and entering the new level of traveling.

Música, películas y libros

I really enjoy movies based on the true story, non-mainstream movies (from Iceland, Iran,...), movies which make you think about the story all over again, autobiography, documentary movies, etc. ... e.g. La Vita è Bella, Children of Heaven, Schindler's List, Argo, Tmavomodrý svět, Hotel Rwanda, Animal Farm, Sound of noice, Persepolis, The Shawshank Redemption, Inception, Catch me if you can, Never let me go and many other. I also enjoy good (old) comedies, e.g. Some like it hot, Singing in the rain, Robin Hood Men In Tights, О чём говорят мужчины.
My the most favorite movie: HUMAN (France, 2015).

As for books, it is my great passion. I like work of George Orwell, Karel Čapek, Sir Thomas More (Utopia), Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, C.S. Lewis, Marcus Aurelius, Henry Kissinger, Abraham Lincoln (and his speeches), Alexander Dumas, A.S. Pushkin, Haruki Murakami, Feynman (and his non-physics stories), F.M. Dostoyevskiy, Samuel Beckett, Henry Sienkiewicz, Jack London, Asimov, Jules Verne, David Mitchell, Bible is also incredibly amazing, and many many others

As for music... I like swing, jazz, blues, classic, piano music. As for artists - Lisa Ekhdal, Adriana Kučerová, Beethoven, Chopin, Frank Sinatra, Hiromi Uehara, Hillsong, ..

And the song for every day situations: "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life" :-)

Algo increíble que he hecho

Once I had a deep talk with one woman who wanted to get abortion, eventually she decided to keep the child. She gave a birth after few months and the problems, because of which she was considering this step, disappeared soon. And now I can see this wonderful little child growing to a great loving, caring, funny and inteligent boy.

I think this is the most amazing thing in my life.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach you basic steps of some of classical dances, I can teach you Russian alphabet and I can show you some brain-teasers :-).

I would like to learn many things, for example how to cook some local food of different countries, and many other :-)

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Dear hosts,

first of all thank you for considering to host me. What can I share with you? I can start with my smile, with my positive mood and my easy-going personality. Then I would continue with sharing with you a small piece of Czech culture by bringing you some Czech goodie or beer (if I have possibility). Then I can prepare some tasty light dinner and during eating I can share with you my impressions on your city, country, culture, I can share with you my experience from living in 4 different countries and visiting some really great places (but I will ask you for your experience too and I will be soo curious to hear your stories). Also, I can share with you my knowledge of Russian or Arabic aplhabet.. but if you are not interested in it, I can share with you my another smile and maybe share the idea of going out and hanging around your city. During hanging around I can share with you my gloves if it is cold and my crazy ideas. Of course it would be up to you if you accept or rather not :-))
And while leaving I will share with you possibility to stay at my place once you come to my country and I will share with you my the most sincere thing: my another smile :-)

Thank you for your patience for reading all this, my dear potential hosts, and I hope to see you soon somehwere on this wonderful planet :-)

Your Vasilka
