I am an experienced English teacher interested in travelling, art, culture, literature and history. I am a kind and open-minded person who loves people and nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and meeting new people from all over the world. I like learning about people's life stories and cross-cultural differences (and similarities), which is truly enriching. Let's meet and see what we can share. I have a small flat in Plzen/Pilsen where I live with my daughter (born in 2010, but looks much older and speaks English as well as some Spanish and German.)
