Hi there! My name is Klara. I come from Prague - the capital city of beautiful country located in the heart of Europe - Czech Republic. However, I'm currently working as an au pair in United States (PA) and am very much enjoying this adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always prefered to travel on my own. You most likely get to see everything that YOU want and it's also a great way to meet locals who give you the best tips and take you with them to explore the city from a different perspective - theirs. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is definitely my biggest passion! I had been singing (ok, humming) even before I was able to speak. :) I'm a fan of alternative type of music, especially rock, but the older I get the more opened I am to all the different genres. As long as it makes me feel things I listen to it. My everyday dose would be songs from Smashing Pumpkins, Courtney Love, Nirvana, The National, The Cure etc.

When it comes to movies, I also prefer those that would make me feel something and maybe give me a reason to think about them hours/days after I watched them. Lately I've been watching movies from the World War II era. My favorite one of this genre would be Life is beautiful.
Other favorites are: Intouchables, Seven Pounds, Pay it forward,...
I watch TV shows kind of lot. I can watch How I met your mother and One Tree Hill over and over again.

I used to read books quite a lot and I've been thinking what made me stop. I've always loved to read Psychology books. That is definitely one of the things I'm planning to work on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I succeeded in pursuing my biggest dream - I sang with one of the most popular Czech bands in front of thousands of people. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have been in Untited States for almost a year now. I've lived in California and Pennsylvania and have travelled decent amount of places, so I think I can share my perspective of seeing the U.S.. All the differences I've spotted, things I love, things I'm not gonna miss,...
Since I come from Czech Republic I can share the culture and stories about living in historical place. Also my passion for music, food (and cooking), ice hockey and more.
