About Me

I was a traveler. Or... maybe... I still am. It is not so easy to loose this part of the personality. I love coming back to my homeland, because of my job, the order, language freedom, czech nature and the roots. But for experiencing "coming home" feeling I need to go away. And that´s what I love too.
Older I am, I can find the freedom in different stuffs, not just traveling, how it was before.
I have spent many months of my life by traveling and I wish next are coming. But now I need the combination of self-expresion in the work, spending time with my family and friends and then traveling and discovering whatever new.
I really believe - everything what should come, comes. And that is my way how to keep myself happy and positive.

There was a text, written in 2019... I feel like completely different person now. But it is so exciting for me to keep it here below, just for myself or for the comparation, what had changed and how.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this time I live in the van somewhere in America.
I am on the two years long journey around the world so you will not find me so easily.

And what about me? I am Czech girl, who chose freedom and want to see and experience the world. That's why I have let everything at homeland how it was and went to live in the van to another continent.
I am student of Social Education and Leisure Time Education. I found piece of myself in this field, what was very surprising for me, so I want to continue studying after two years of traveling. I like to prepare events for children like summer schools or summer camps and also some activities for adults. I am also interessted in volunteering. I was doing something in this field in Czechia and I wish I will do something more abroad.
When I was at home I had many plans what to do, but I have to say I also realized my plans. I was enjoying the days when I did not have any time for lunch and I was busy whole day. I also live my life according the year period and according the weather so it was quite different in each season. But it have already changed during travels.
In these days I spend more time with myself in my head, heart or in the meditation and enjoying the present time.
I am a dreamer... I am openminded and easygoing girl... I like to play (not PC)... I like sports like hiking, climbing, cycling, skating, walking and volleyball so much... I like learning by experience... I really love to spend the time in the nature... In the summer time I really love to be out all days and all nights. Sometimes sleep in the tent, sometimes in hamaca or under the stars, to swim in the lake instead of shower and use the fire for cooking... I really like the sitting around the fire with quitar... I love to participate of personal developing festivals... I like thinking about spirituality, but it is difficult for me to speak about it with others... I am interessted in people's communication, especially concept of Nonviolent Communication... I would like to do more yoga and tantra... I also love to sit with friends, to drink a beer or wine and just chat about whatever... I am looking forward to what is waiting for me in my life...
I am trying to enjoy the life, to accept every challenge which I get. I think I am very active person.
And... I am still slowly discovering who I am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started to use Couchsurfing more when I was on Erasmus+ exchange stay in Finland. I wanted to travel around the country and there was no possibility to sleep outside in the tent, because of cold weather. I had really great and exciting experiences with people which I have met and I found out that it is great opportunity to meet native people in this way.
I love to listen people´s stories, to meet new people and share with them.
I love low cost traveling and not just to see the country but also to live the country.
I would like to offer some host services also, but not every time is suitable for me because of my journeys. I hope when I will settle down in my life, I can offer more of my life and time.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite music is Czech alternativ music, Indie, Rainbow songs and Frank Turner. But I like to listen new types of music.
I sometimes read personal developing books. I would like to read more but usually I rather walk outside than to sit with a book, especially in nice weather.
And about movies? I don't watch movies often and also it is difficult to say which movies I like. Sometimes I love comedies, nature documents and social movies. I really don't like horrors and technological movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I decided don't to stay in my small hometown and go to the world, despite the opinion of my family. It opened my mind a lot.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love First Aid and I work as a lecturer, so I can share my stories and experiences from the courses. How to prepare some personal developing workshops? How to work with children, teens or seniors?
Or how to travel in lowcost way?
I can share with you my experiences.
