I am back in my home country after 10 years traveling each continent, working and living in Belgium, Budapest, Canada, and NZ. I have several jobs, often away working as a tour guide or hikingin the mountains, otherwise quite busy but if you're lucky to catch me up, I will be happy to host and meet Couchsurfers again. After meeting people from around the world and making friends all around, let's skip intro talks and let's get directly into deep topics of live, love, Earth, staying positive and making nice time. Otherwise find someone else. I am more listener than talker, waiting for an opportunity for interesting conversation. I always carry with me a bag full of funny and ridiculous memories from traveling to share. I am passionate about being outdoors, hiking, camping, observing birds and admiring the nature - running, cycling, swimming, kayaking, sailing, yoga. Passionate about sustainability, nature protection, vege diet and health balance. I am working part-time as a tour guide and always love to hear interesting culture insights or your observations about whatever around in the world. I love crazy creative ideas so bring some. Otherwise enjoying community life, art, drawing, painting, reading, (art)history. I also love learning new languages and picking up some words from each of it (from some remember only the word "cheers!":) Let's grab a coffee, rarely a drink and always vege meal.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
When you come from work, the place is the same. If you share it with someone, it's becoming home. My guests always brought positive energy, interesting talks, and surprises. They made me dream. Most of them I will never forget. Thanks to couchsurfing, I could go where I couldn't afford to go, do what I would never expect to do, and meet people that I didn't know existed. I hosted in Brno and in Antwerp. I joined many CS meetings in Antwerp, Brussel, Bordeaux, Seville, Krakow, Malaga, Montpellier, Budapest, Vancouver and helped to organise CS crashes in Antwerp and Budapest. I surfed or met people via CS in almost all the countries, which sparkled the best travel memories.

Teach, Learn, Share
Interested in learning something from other languages and cultures, discussing actual topics and life stories. Get some travel and culture tips and taste/learn new local recipes. Open to enriching my list with anything new is always fun. I can share a good coffee, chocolate, meal, and map when I host and take you to some special places or around when I have time. My house used to be a place full of random art and music instruments to try and bikes to borrow.
My Interests
I am always fancy to meet new interesting people from all around the world, learn something from them and show them around, hear their stories, drink some coffee together, taste a good drink and traditional dishes, relax in a park/forest, soak cultural life at galleries and museums, jump at the gigs and festivals, get off the energy by sports, go for hiking and make some unexpected trip! Explore new places, admire an architecture or countryside and meet new people, and learn from their experiences and habits. Every day offers an opportunity to learn, to make something nice, and to make life better.
