I love meeting new people, hiking, exploring new countries and cities, dancing. I am an extrovert, but at the same time, I know how to respect other people's boundaries, so if you need time alone, it's not a problem.

I have been working in science for more than 8 years, and right now I am at the stage of completing my PhD. I love dogs and sincere conversations. I don't have any bad habits, but I don't mind a glass of good wine. Since 2018, I have been living in Prague, Czech Republic, and and have lived in Japan for a year (2023/2024).

Now I'm back in Europe and I want to continue traveling here. I love architecture, running, psychology, and books.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea that people are willing to share their space with unknown people. I used Couchsurfing for the first time when I was 22 and at that time it impressed me a lot. Moreover, I believe it made a big impact on my life.
