About Me

I am currently studying in Jinan, Shandong province and because I am living in a small dormitory, which is guarded by strict 叔叔 I can't host anyone, but I will be happy to meeting you here, grab a coffee/beer and show you around. :)

--------------

Okay, something about me. Should I write that I am just normal girl who loves travel? Bah, such a cliché! Everyone is unique in this world and as for me I am unique unicorn, haha! :)) And don't like describing myself, so guess that you have no choice but meet me. But I can promise, I am not a psycho-killer. Actually I am trying to be kind and polite by all means, cause the most important for me is whether people around me are happy.
So in the evening I am fine with reading a book silently and also with heavy partying in some club. When in Rome do as the Romans do. ( the same goes for the couches.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think that you can't explore country without meeting locals and couchsurfing is the best way how to accomplish it. Meeting with locals during your journey can make you change your mind about the country,
and understand it more and for sure you can become friends and maybe it can be someone who changes your life forever :) And I also believe that culture exchange is really important (maybe even more these days), so just be nice and open minded and fight xenophobia/homophobia/rasism together, okay?

Music, Movies, and Books

OMG, literature is my biggest passion, especially the czech one :D
I love postmodern literature, magic realism, beat generation, modern poetry aaand much more.
Three year ago, when I started my Chinese studies I also become really interested in Chinese literature (big Mo Yan, Wang Xiaobo and Yan Lianke fan!) and would love if you recommend me some book from your country :)
And music is almost the same, its very wide range and i am trying to keep up with new music and discover new interesting artist but on the onther hand I also like the old classic songs. If you can introduce me some good music, I will be in heaven!

Teach, Learn, Share

I just want to know everything about your life and your country and get to know your opinion of latest happening in the world and also of the most random things. I just love talking while having a glass of wine or beer :)
I can teach you some basic Czech and Chinese and my stories from China as well.
aaaand I can bore you with some feminist/gender/ sexuality discussion as a bonus.
