About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To do whatever I want :-)

ABOUT ME

It's always difficult and a bit awkward to describe oneself but I know it's important as the first impression..., so very briefly - I'm an optimist, always cheerful, adaptable, non-conflicting, quiet (which can change to chatty if I know you better and feel comfortable :-) Some people say I talk too much, others think I'm rather shy... both are true, do you think it's not possible? It is!)
I enjoy travelling together with knowing different cultures (like most couchsurfers, I suppose). And lots more, impossible to include everything here...

PHILOSOPHY

Be positive! :-)

Time is what you make out of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I began a few years ago and I love couchsurfing! I surfed in Great Britain, Australia, Sweden, Brasil, Spain, France and Switzerland. I also hosted a few people at my place. When I'm not travelling, you're very welcome to surf with me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only positive so far... I couchsurfed in Europe, Australia and Brasil and plan to do much more couchsurfing in future! I've met so many interesting and extremely nice people, everyone was absolutely great; I'm very grateful to all of my hosts and hope I'll have opportunity to return the hospitality to the travellers here in the Czech Republic.

Interests

Reading, travelling, art (music, good films, modern art...), sport (mostly outdoors, climbing, hiking, backpacking, skiing, cycling or just walking...)
I love nature and animals, calm places.

And I love Black Books, IT Crowd, the Big Bang Theory and Yes, Minister!

From music mostly classic rock, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Beatles, the Who, Nirvana, Def Leppard, ACDC, Aerosmith, Thin Lizzy and many other groups...

And there would be a really too long list of books even if I should name just my favourites but at least some authors: Zola, Maupassant, Hornby, Haddon, Waugh, Leo Rosten etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lots! Watching sunsets in Norway (in the amazing winter period, and seeing reindeers!), eating chocolate in Cadbury (and smelling the chocolate air), backpacking in Romania, Slovenia and Alaska. And definitely rock climbing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages, of course... And I want to know everything about your country!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nice company :-) I like meeting new people, especially those who travel a lot. We can chat, laugh, share our experiences and have a good time! We can also arrange a "cooking evening", I love that.
