About Me

I am a young girl, who loves to meet new people, travel a lot and get to know new culture! For 4 months I lived in beautiful city Coimbra in Portugal and I have realized how amazing it is to meet new people from different culture. I am living and studying in the second biggest city of Czech Republic - Brno.

I also did internship in Porto in a company Delightfull. I stayed there for two month during summer. My last experience abroad was in Finland, where I studied 5 month furniture design. This opportunity gave me a lot fo new information and I learned how to work with meaterials such as wood, metal and palstic and i made a lot of prototypes there.

Currently I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where I am doing my doctoral research at Louisiana State University and also teaching two courses. Since I am here only as an exchange I can't offer couchsurfing now, but we could at least meet and walk around the city or go for a cup of coffee.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was on Erasmus programme in Portugal, Coimbra and I found out about couchsurgin when I was going to Madeira, because I wanted to sta yin differen city than Funchal, and there is not so many other hostels. I found out there, thats its such a great way how to meet new people, who knows the place very well so they can show you everything!

Interests

I am studying furniture design, so travelling and recognizing new cultures is really good way how to get some inspiration about my projects. At my free time I enjoy playing the guitar, drawing, listening to music, roller-skating, snowboarding and climbing.
