Figuring things out

ABOUT ME

See my friend "Barbora Boksteflova and Jan Straka" for more info+references about me

I spent four years studying at Harvard in the United States - that's also where I got introduced to couchsurfing, though I got addicted to it while traveling on a shoestring around Europe. Having graduated in June, I am now looking around for things to do with my life. I absolutely love meeting new people and exploring different cultures - which goes a long way towards explaining why I care about the Couchsurfing project.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to be open to new things, sharing the good parts of the cultures I know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
