Hi people of the world!

My name is Lenny, and I am a student of media, psychology (but interested in a disgusting amount of things varying from arts, technology to biology). I love nature, hikes, (vegan) food, the smell of acacia, dark humour, happy and smart people and getting know new cultures and people, of course! :)

Currently living in Utrecht, the Netherlands, saving some rain for the future times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the best way to know the country is through its people - it's them who can show you the best places, tell you, what's the story behind. By meeting them you experience something you could never experience without.

Interests

Loads of. From biology, ecology, through history, science, astronomy, linguistics to communication, marketing and psychology. And human rights - I am a member of Prague University Group of Amnesty International.

I love rowing, dancing, and yoga. Nature is crucial for me and sometimes there is not a better reward than a day-long trip to forests.

Music, Movies, and Books

Well, for a bookworm as me it is quiet hard to answer, so maybe let's start with music - everything. At random The Jezabels, Laura Marling, The Boxer Rebellion, Jazz Q, Karel Kryl or Portugal the Man.

Movies definitelly Matrix, Perks of Being a Wallflower, House of the Flying Daggers, movies made by Pedro Almodovar and Paolo Sorrentino. I also love serials, such as Monty Python's Flying Circus, Red Dwarf or Star Gate.

Books. It is really hard for me to name one, because after that the other, excellent, ones will be discriminated. Sophia's choice affected me very much, also Gerald Durrell's books, Candide or Bohumil Hrabal - it is one of my most favourite czech authors. I also love poetry, namely Jiří Orten, Fráňa Šrámek or Jan Neruda.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have founded a non-profit in my hometown and organized whole 4-day long festival full of music, movies, lectures and more, which helped to start the student culture over there. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

The issue of the main importance is to share thoughts and opinions according to my opinion. It is not important, whether you agree with me or not, it is necessary to talk and inspire each other, come up with the solutions. Nevertheless, I must admit that I see my task in convincing public to think about our planet at least a tiny bit more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My optimism, stupid jokes, experiences from travels, knowledge and philosophy - sometimes I feel that it is something we start to forget in the hectic world which surrounds us.
