About Me

ahoy!

i'm talkative but a curious listener,
tolerant but a passionate debater,
crazy but only with good intent,
compact but versatile.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

i work as a graphic designer, most of the time sticked to the computer. but when i have some spare time, i love to work just with a pencil or paint, sketch everything pretty and ugly that surrounds me.

i'm open to do or to talk about almost everything. in case i don't have enough knowledge of what you're interested in, i'll be happy to learn anything new and i'll listen to you patiently. but also, if my brain will be about to explode, i'll let you know in time. : )
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

i’ve found my soulmate in 2016. so, after a short while „I“ became voluntary „WE“. : )

so please, keep in mind, that if you or i would ask for stay, you’ll enjoy company not of one, but most probably of two very nice amigos. : )

/my second half is called Jan. he’s working in an engineering industry, he’s very open to every crazy idea. he never leaves the party earlier than you and his all time favourite drink is beer. His special abillity is to invent a brand new party game in every situation. but he is very versatile and not the only thing he is successful in is to party. : ))/

RECENTLY

i work as hell now, because i am saving money for upcoming big journey to the New Zealand. that‘s why all my recent trips /going shopping included/ are done in very ultra lowcost way. : ))
my office is unfortunately not at home. so i'd be happy if you'll respect my schedule during the week days, if i'll host you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

it is just one of the best social networks i have ever met!

this way of meeting people from all around the world just amazes me, especially, when you know, that you'll have at least this travel spirit in common.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

i would love to host and be a guest as much as possible in the future, because my yet experiences are a few but just amazing.

the sleepover possibility is great, but meeting new people this way is more than that. i believe that on Couchsurfing you can hardly meet anybody rude or evil. if you don't want to. : )

Interests

i love art. i studied book and visual design and now i work as a graphic designer. i‘d love to learn about contemporary artists but also about old, not that well known ones, that will broaden my horizons

i love audio arts as well. it acommpanied me my whole life. i was forced to play the keyboard, but than i found myself as a missing puzzle for a singing choir, which saved my sence for music. than, when i was seven i was introduced to music of The Beatles, so i stayed in the choir for 15 years. recently my boyfriend and i just play ukulele sometimes and go jamming with friends.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

when i want to move anyhow my preferences are:

1. cycling /my rocketbike is called Hercule Poirot/
2. skiing /both – cross-country and downhill/
3. dancing /latino dances and anything that looks like dancing/
4. walking /if the weather is nice, a’ll rather go, than use a public transport/
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

i have a really large, lovely family, so i am trying to be with almost all of them as much as i can. that‘s probably the reason, why i sometimes can‘t host or see somebody on CS.

RECENTLY

i have found magic of watercolour techniques, so i spend a lot of time playing with watercolours and brushes wandering about new worlds i am painting.

when my boyfriend and i want to turn off our brains, we play board or computer games. lately we played Witcher 3, The Way Out, Trine 3 or Samorost /wonderful, audiovisually unique Czech adventure puzzle game, that would satisfy every artist, that never ever have played any computer game. : ))/

last months we visited several amateur theatre performances, that woke up my love for theatre. all of them were in Czech, but i would love to see a play in every country i will ever visit!

RECENTLY

i have discovered great music lately, such as the Tune-Yards, Vaya Futuro, Kate Tempest, Kali Uchis or Mashrou’ Leila.

i‘ve seen great visually lip-smacking sci-fi tv series called Legion and cult bestworst movie The Room, which i‘ve found incredibly funny /so – that‘s what my sense for humour is now/

unfortunately i haven't completed reading any book lately. i tried many, especially artists biographies, but i gave it up after a while. i'm more into audiobooks now, not difficult ones, so i can listen to them, while i work. H. P. Lovecraft, the Witcher series, sci-fi stories etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

last year – 2018 i did tandem skydiving and paragliding. it was one of the most intense moments of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach you some czech songs and idioms, that you can impress with.
also if you always wanted to play some instrument, i can lend you and teach you basics of the cutest instrument ever – ukulele

at home we have a nice collection of musical instruments and well noise-isolated walls.
so if you are into that, we can jam a bit.

of course i'll show you the best local places to visit, that will fit your interests. ; )

i'm not the best cook, i prefer international, healthier cuisine from Czech, but i can teach you some basics.
deffinitely i can show you, where to get the best Czech classic dishes for fair price.

What I Can Share with Hosts

i'd love to just share ideas, culture and memories with you. as i wrote, i'm a good listener.

i love to sketch everyone and everything.
so if would like to, i can try to draw or paint everything you'll want for you!

my boyfriend and i visit latino dances classes, so if you'll want to i can teach you some nice moves
