Overview
About Me
--- SOME BASIC RULES ---
1. Please read my profile before writing to me.
2. Do not copy and paste the same message you write to everyone.
3. Couchsurfing is about sharing. Just being on a low budget is not a reason to ask for a couch.
I am a native Czech who loves to travel and get to know other cultures. I would describe myself as a non-
conflicting guy who gets on well with many people. I am open minded person with a positive view of the world, sometimes calm and sometimes ready to party.
Apart from traveling I like a lot astronomy and nature sciences in general. I think it was the reason why I decided to study astrophysics. Luckily I found a job that is closed to my hobbies. I work as a programmer for space projects. I am also a guide in the astronomical observatory here in Prague.
World is a full of a very nice places that are worth a visit. After my travels I found out that my favorite part is Latin America. Creo que por eso también hablo español e falo português. I also live with my Brazilian boyfriend who is very friendly and can prepare some Brazilian food.
Currently I am quite busy at work so I have to limit my hosting. Anyway you can write me a message and let's see if I am available. I prefer the short term planning. Do not write me if you plan your trip in more than one month in advance.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like to travel and learn about different cultures. I think Couchsurfing is the best way to get to know a lot of travelers just even being at home. It is also a perfect way how to make new friends all around the world. I also enjoy showing my guests the beauties of Prague.

Teach, Learn, Share
As I was born in Prague, I can tell you a lot of details about my beautiful city. I can teach you some Czech basic phrases (like to order a beer in a pub). I will give you tips what to do and where to go. When I have free time I can also be your local guide.
I can also tell you a lot of things about astronomy and our universe. When the weather is good I can show you the sky through my telescope or take you to the local observatory.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share with you my travel experiences. I can tell you a lot about my country and about Prague so you will have a reason for a visit. If the weather is good I can get you oriented on the night sky, show constellations and planets.
