Hey there, I'm Jana.

I was born in Czech Republic, and because I fell in love with travelling, last few years I've ended up living in different countries around the world. And I love it so much.. the feeling of freedom, being amazed of the beautiful nature and places around, having the chance to move from place to place if I need to..
I'm 33 yo but I feel much younger then that. And that's good, no? ;)

I'm not an extrovert, but I don't wanna say that I'm introvert neither, just because it's not that simple. Sometimes I love to be alone, only with my thoughts, sometimes I love to gather with other strangers and travelers.. and with a glass or cup of some tasty drink is always better ;)

I'm big animal lover. Sheep, cats, dogs and birds are my favourite. I have been pretty lucky, that most of the time I could have these lovely creatures around me. And if I didn't find any, they had found me.. :)

What else? Ocean, mountains, forests... I have a big respect of power of water, from all the unknown underneath, but despite that, I enjoy kajaking, snorkelling, or surfing. I'm just beginner surfer, but I like it :) it's so much fun, if the waves are swelling all over you every second time, you have the tasty salty water in your mouth, face is getting sun burnt, but then, suddenly, you are standing on the board and riding a wave! :-D
Walking on the beach, collecting shells and enjoying the view.. or sitting on a mountain and just staring at the surrounding ones.. or walking in the forest with a little worry what kind of animal will jump in front of me now or later.. yep, that's something about me.

I do have a part of Czech culture inside of me. I really like beer and wine. We are famous beer drinkers, did you know that? So I follow the path of our ancestors. ;) if there is a brewery in your town, we must visit it!

I can be quite lazy sometimes, quite active sometimes.. just like everyone else. Hiking, yoga, running, cycling, that are activities what I do if I feel like being active ;) or photography. You will always see me with my camera :)

So that's me. If you are hosting me, I can help you with cooking, or to get some job done, looking after your pet while you are away or so.
If I'm hosting you, I'm happy to show you around or give some tips where to go, cook something for you, basically the things what people normally do, helping each other ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Anyway, if you want to send me a request, just notice, that I don't expect from CS more than to meet good and nice people, share some time, or do some trips.. nothing more! If you guys expect more than this, immediately close my profile and go to some different websites with proper offers. The same, if I send you request to stay (because your profile looks well without any weird signs) and you think, that it could mean more than just hosting me, please decline my request, and safe my time and stress.. thank you.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: wide range, mostly according to my mood. I prefer rock, metal, folk metal, indie rock, folk, epic music..
Movies: I am not a big fan of movies to be honest.. so I don't have Netflix, which has saved me a lot of time I guess! ;)
Books: I love reading.. Thick books, even downloaded in Kindle, always bring a great story!
