Ahoj!
My name is Barbora and I come from "the heart of Europe" - Czech Republic.
As my friends would describe me, I am always smiling, a source of good mood and fun. I am friendly, open-minded, easy-going and creative. I am ready to help anytime, everywhere and to everybody. I am a dreamer, I believe in happy endings and the good of people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling, exploring and learning about other customs and traditions. I am sure that the most effective way to get into a foreign culture is to get to know the local people, who are a reflection of the reality in that country. I also love hearing people's stories and couchsurfing is a great way to meet interesting people.

Interests

Since childhood, I have never lost the desire to educate myself. I like to explore the fields of nature, natural medicine, but also history.
I love to spend time outdoors in nature accompanied by my dogs. I love animals and the greatest relaxation for me is spending time with them or working in the garden.
As I mentioned, I am a creative soul. I love to paint, draw and make jewellery and decorations mainly from natural materials.
My other hobbies include playing various instruments, singing, volleyball, skiing, cycling and board games.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading books. My favorite books are the ones I can use to educate myself. Most often I read about nature, herbs, natural healing and history. On the other hand, I also enjoy reading authentic stories connected either with the Second World War or the communist era.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2020 I moved to northern Germany to spend my Erasmus semester there. Instead of six months I stayed there for over three years, I got to know "a part of the world", an incredible amount of people from so many different countries and cultures, and I got to know myself in depth. I learned many new things, became even more patient, tolerant and open-minded than before. This step changed my life and I consider it the best decision I have ever made.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a proud Czech, I would love to introduce you to the culture, traditions and life in this small but wonderful country.
I will also be happy to tell you about all my travel experiences, especially from my life in Germany and the United States.
Last but not least, I work as a lecturer in an environmental centre and so I can enrich you in this area. I can answer all your questions regarding nature and environmental protection.
