About Me

Sometimes i feel like my life is a series of embarassing moments separated by snacks.

I love people and embracing conversations about everything and nothing. I play the guitar, sing and write my own music. I want my horizons and knowledge to be as broad as possible and that is the reason I am on CS.

LGBT, vegan and feminist friendly!

Interests

I love classical literature, especially French and Russian, breakfasts, late night talks, yoga, creating music, cooking, (wasting) time in Prague cafés, exercising, Vincent Van Gogh, pears, flying, learning, atmosphere at the airports, getting lost in foreign cities and the feeling of being inspired.

I am passionate about international law and human rights, especially women's rights. Hopefully, these interests will also lead to my future job, but I still have some time to figure myself out (if that is ever possible, haha!)

I believe that travelling makes us better, more compassionate and less selfish. It forces us to recreate our relationship with our homecountry and by virtue of that I found out what being Czech means to me and how it is incorporated to my identity. And I am pretty proud to call myself that since then!
I travel to challenge myself and know the people, which is a thing that cannot be expressed in any "to-visit-list" or lonely planet guide. And mostly, I travel to be more grateful for the part of the world in which I was born.

I seriously do not have a place on this planet that I would not want to visit, it is just a matter of time.
We will se what 2019 has in storem i am ready for you!
