Hi, I am literature freak with big interest in fantasy genre in all of its forms - books, movies, pc and pen and paper games, LARP...

I believe in cultural superiority of good old England and british literature is the best in whole history of humankind. Not negotiable :D Queen Elizabeth I. is my hero and I want action figure of her :D

I am able to read and understand to almost anything in english, but I don't have so many experience in listening to spoken english or to speak in english, so language can be a little barrier from my side, but I believe, that it will be only a little, passable barrier :)

I have to admit, that I am not very very tidy, so maybe my flat is not providing the best comfort. But I will try to make my guests feel comfortable and safe.

I can host maybe up to three or four people, but I cant promise, that there will be a bed for all of you. But don't worry, I have floor for everyone :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people and especially foreigners. I've never traveled, so foreigners are my best window into foreign countries. I would be very thankfull, if you could tell me about your home country and compare life style of different countries.

Depending on my current money situation, I can give you some breakfast and such, it also depends on how much time I will have to prepare myself for the role of host :D

So, I am really not the most formal host you can get and I have quite small flat, but if you need a shelter for day or two on your travels, I would be glad, if I could help you.

Interests

Well, I've mentioned my hobbies - mostly literature. And from literature it is mostly british or fantasy literature. Or british fantasy literature. I've worked in two major czech public libraries, but now I am working in bookshop and as a tutor of literature for high school students.

I am also big fan of black, incorrect humour. Performance of six-years old limbless ballet dancers is most amusing for me :D
