CURRENT MISSION
Internship in beautiful Paris :)

Hi there,
I am optimistic, curious and caring person.

I love books and reading. One of my dreams (or goals? :)) is to become a writer - not a full-time writer, I want to work in international business and NGO later on. But I want to share ideas and views on the world with people. That's why I like the couchsurfing community, I believe that you can learn from everyone you meet and in the same time you may intentionally or unintentionally inspire others, shape their seeing of the world and maybe even push them or give them a courage to follow their dreams.

That's also why I started my youtube channel and where I want my instagram to take a direction in

I am fascinated by the topic of happiness (I have a degree in economics but even the theme of my thesis was the Economics of happiness).

Talking about happiness,one of the things that make me happy is sport. I love working out and endorphins.

I am fluent in English, Spanish, Czech and French. I am also studying Russian(A2-B1).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is a journey and what happens to you and the people you meet on the way that makes this journey unique and memorable. I love sharing ideas with people, deep conversation, random laughs. All these little moments can change you, give new perspective and help you to grow.

My favorite quote from Steve Jobs
Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
