About Me

Currently studying Philosophy & Aesthetics at Charles University in Prague.
I also work as a barista in a cozy coffee shop.Soon to be Erasmus student in Dublin.
22 years old.
I used to study Environmental Design for a while, but I decided to quit the university and try something else, so I worked in Spain as an au - pair trying to pick up a language without any previous learning experience. Ahora puedo un poco hablar y esribir, pero no sin errores, haha.

Vegetarian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a Philosophy student and work at the same time, and I don't really have much money to left. So, if somebody gives me an option to travel without staying in expensive hotels or stinky hostels, and in addition lets me meet great people and see their city through their eyes? I don't need to think twice.

Interests

I love creativity.
I play piano, a bit guitar, ukulele, I enjoy singing and jammin', so if you can play any instrument, that might be lot of fun!

Also, places I enjoy visiting:
galleries, coffee shops, any urban-exploring-worth abandoned places, parks, nature, old parts of towns, secret hipster bars only locals know about, techno parties, vintage shops, places with lovely view, absinth bars with traditional way of serving, vegetarian restaurants, libraries

Things I enjoy eating & drinking:
coffee, wine, chocolate, beer, whatever you tell me is good and not made with meat

I also love reading, watching movies, having a good time just chilling in a park.
Oh, and I love to send the ugliest kitsch postcards available.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited Bogota in Colombia and got an amazing sunburn on the first day there.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can jamm, or I can teach you something on piano, guitar or ukulele. We can draw each other.
