About Me

Hey there! :)
I used to be an English teacher at primary school. I decided to leave my job and spend one year in USA to practise my English. I didn´t have any idea, that this would be the most amazing and eye-opening year of my life! I have met so many wonderful people, visited lots of fantastic places and learned so much about myself, relationships, other people and the world. But there is still infinity of things to discover! I don´t want to waste my time! :)
I am open-minded girl, who likes to listen to other people opinions and then think about it throughout. I like being surrounded by other people but I also need some time to be alone and just enjoy an atmosphere of a place. Usually I plan my day ahead but I can enjoy also unexpected adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There is no better way how to explore culture than with locals. And moreover I think that there would be less hate and prejudice in the world if people actually met and talked with each other. So, let´s make the world a better place! :)

Interests

I love running, cycling, reading, playing the accordion and the piano, folklor and dancing, spending time with my friends and obviously travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love any music that I can sing along. :)
Right now I am really interested in reading books about slavery and segregation in United States. I have read The Kitchen House, The Help and now I am reading Roots. I will be glad for any other recommendation.
And movies? I like movies during which I can just chill out. Sometimes I also enjoy watching a movie that gives you some interesting ideas to think about. (e.g. The Green Beautiful). I don´t like horror movies AT ALL.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left my country and have spent one amazing year in USA as an au pair.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play the accordion and the piano so I can give you few lessons. :)
I think that every person is special and we can learn something new from everyone. Sometimes we just have to listen and observe carefully.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my stories and my knowledge about my country and culture. Soon I will be back in Czech Republic and I would love to show people around my beautiful historical hometown.

Canada, England, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Scotland, Slovakia, United States
