My name is Helena, but in case you ever talk to me, call me however you want but not Helena :D. I like all kinds of sports, writing articles and being in nature. Besides that, I love travelling and everything connected with that - trying new things, meeting new people and visiting new places. I have already visited quite a few countries, but what I feel was the biggest experience for me was when I spent a year in USA by studying and living with local family or 2 months of volunteering in outdoor center in Northen Ireland. I take life how it comes and try to enjoy every single moment and be open to everything (cause random things are the best anyway :D).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and exploring new places and cultures. Meeting locals is in my opinion the best way how to really get to know that country.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love listening to music and wish to learn how to play gitar or piano one day. I like many kinds of styles and bands, if I should say some favourite ones, then probably Free, Oasis, Pink Floyd, Lumineers, and Czech band Zrní.
I am not a huge movie fan, but if I should say some which I really like, than it would be probably Into the Wild and Perfect Strangers.
I really like reading, even though recently I read mostly stuff for school. If I should remember a book I liked, then it would be The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho or Czech poems Blues pro bláznivou holku by Václav Hrabě.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Besides me, myself and I - thus my stories, experiences and opinions, I can cook some Czech food, which I had done for my international friends quite a few times already. I can also offer my company for some activities - walks, going out or just having a nice evening (in case you need help with a bottle of good wine, I can definitelly be a good help for that as well :D ).
