-- First, I'm sorry for my sometimes very late replies, but currently while traveling I didn't have time to reply all of the messages --

Hey, my name is Erika, I´m 27 and I´m from Prague, Czech Republic.

--- June in Lebanon. July in Prague. August in Nepal. September in India. October to December in Bangladesh ---

I love travelling, languages, meeting new people and learning about different lifestyles and cultures.

I´ve lived in France, Ireland, Morocco and Greece and now I am on the way to move to Lebanon for some time!
I work in the field of migration and asylum and I´m interested international policy and history.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new and interesting people, because every new person that we let in our life, even for a few moment, can change our path with the ideas, stories, attitudes and experiences. Broadening our own little worlds can make us understand more.

Interests

My favourite thing is riding a bike when going to work - the best way how to wake up and motivate yourself for a next exciting day!
I love confiture de chataigne - a speciality from the Rhone-Alpes Departement in France.
I enjoy hiking, travelling, backpacking, sleeping in the tent or on the roof of a typical Moroccan house.....
Always learning something new, exploring and never stop watching!
