About Me

To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, to draw closer, to find each other and to feel.

friendly, cheerful person with sense of humor and adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because the best way how to experience the world is with the locals! I don´t want to be caught in a trap for tourists.

Interests

Travelling, trying new things, chilling with my friends or walking alone through Prague. I am huge coffee lover so if you want to get some tip or enjoy coffee in Prague, just write me, I am the right person :-)
I am also interested in every kind of science and love hearing about new discoveries in our magical world or advances in technology.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies and TV Shows: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Good Will Hunting, Cloud Atlas, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, BBC Sherlock, Friends, Man from UNCLE, Tarantino, Kolja, big fan of comics adaptations

...and TV shows which crossed my mind last years: Sense8 (!!!), Stranger Things, Mr Robot, Girls, Westworld

I love sci-fi, that´s the best thing ever, a study of humanity in various environments under hypothetical situations. And spaceships and robots (fun fact: it is a word of Czech origin) are usually there.

Books: I somehow stopped reading, instead I read research papers and other boring stuff from facebook and Guardian, sometimes something clever from Elle. But from that times of freedom of time: Murakami, Harry Potter, 1984, A Brief History of Time, Of Mice and Men, Great Gatsby, Karel Čapek, Enders Game, The Day of the Triffids, Centenarian Who Climbed Out Of the Window, The Red Queen

Music: big chapter of my life! The Beatles, Coldplay, Sigur Rós, The XX, Led Zeppelin, Jamie Cullum, Oasis, Travis, Arctic Monkeys, Florence and the Machine, NIN, Seafret, Olafur Arnalds... a big fan of movie composers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I decided to try living in Asia and I did. Against my other goals, difficulties and under many circumstances. I lived half a year at humid hot place even though I don´t like summer. What a fun!

- Almost eaten by dog and mosquitoes in Seoul
- River tracing in Taiwanese waterfalls
- Survived few months on English apple farms
- Visited CAMBRIDGE!!!
- Lost in bamboo wood
- Lost in translation in Taiwan
- Lost my friend at beach party on Koh Tao
- Danced salsa for 8 hours in Barcelona with really really bad shoes
- Learnt to ride a scooter in the most inappropriate place ever (Vietnamese city)
- Broke my arm twice at the same place
- Overcame my insecurity and took a risk. Followed my dreams and still on the way.
