CURRENT MISSION

math, people, love

ABOUT ME

I am a student from Prague. I studied mathematics, switched to sociology. I love them both and want to combine the two. I am a also Scout leader (ring me up, if you want to exchange scarfs ;)).

PHILOSOPHY

life begins behind your comfort zone

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a surfer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in Brighton and I fell in love - with couchsurfing, the amazing people we met, the city. The same thing happened in Bruges and Antwerpen - it can't be a coincidence!

Interests

ukulele, Doctor Who, thrifting, cooking, sewing, amateur writing, postcrossing, traveling, explaining math problems to people (I am aware that this might be viewed as slightly weird), city-life projects, politics, religion... talking about these subjects is at your own risk (especially asking me to explain algebra to you), but I'll sure enjoy it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook, pretty well. I am also known as a "play the ukulele in twenty minutes" teacher (and usually even bringing my own uke). oh yeah, and if you're struggling on analytical geometry, I might be able to give you a hand. whatever.
I absolutely need to learn cooking local food. the real local food. that would be my favourite souvenir ever.
