Hi, my name is Julia. I was born in 1991 in Czechoslovakia. Currently I live in Brno in Czech Republic and finishing my studies at Technical University of Brno - Faculty of Fine Arts. I love art, making jewelry, hand painting on stuff and sewing bags from second hand clothes. In my free time I LOOOOOOVE to travel, not just abroad but also in my home countries Czech republic and Slovakia. I am trying to become a wanderer, but I always fail because I make too many plans and also maps with drawn points of interest when I travel abroad. In past three years I travel usually accompanied by my soulmate Štěpán J. and together we make a dream team of laughter, friendship, adventure and also learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing, because obviously I am still young person and I do not mind sleeping on somebody's couch/floor/mattress, while saving some money and making new friends.

Interests

As I mentioned above I am interested in all sorts of art. But besides that I also love hiking or just strolling in the woods, gardening, urban exploring. I absolutely love dancing and having a good time with good people :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Me and Štěpán, sneaked under the fence, in Planterwald, Berlin, to get to closed amusement park. We managed to wander around (old rollercoasters) for an hour and then we got caught by security. They left us with just a warning, but the experience was wonderful and we did not have to crawl back. It definitely woke me up :) URBEX <3
