About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm optimistic, easy-going but also strong-minded person. I want to get the most out of my life. I desire to discover the world around me. After my studies I moved to Prague. I want to live independent, big city life.I'm outgoing person, who loves to laugh. I always see the glass half full, not half empty.

PHILOSOPHY

"Work to live, don't live to work. Enjoy life as much as you can, cause you never know what will happen next."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I experienced CS on my own while I was on university and I loved it. It is a great opportunity to meet people from all over the world. To bring foreign countries to your place in the moment when you cant travel. Many people already helped me so I want to give something back.

Interests

I love playing or watching all kind of sports. After my knee injury I have to avoid contact sports so most of the time I'm doing beach-volleyball & squash or biking. I also like to watch movies, TV shows or listen to a good music, meet new people and have fun. Oh, and I'm a huge fan of Jamie Oliver so I love cooking as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I always wanted to experience Phi Phi Islands like in the movie "The Beach", so I booked a camp far from the noisy main harbor. To get there, you had to either pay a lot for a boat taxi or to climb through the jungle. I chose the second option but it was not that easy.

I was walking 3 hours during the noon with just one bottle of water and I didn't meet any other travelers there. The main problem was that I had to climb the mountains so I was walking up the most of the time. Sometimes, it was quite scary with plenty of crossroads, sharp rocks, cobwebs and potential hazard of snake bite. But after I got to the highest point of the island, the view was worth it. http://goo.gl/yGizBF

When I finally came to the camp the owner shook my hand and said that just a few people came that way. The best thing was that everything there looked as I imagined. Bamboo shelters, bamboo shower, no wifi, young traveler community from all over the world, surrounded by mountains and exclusive beach just 50 meters from the camp. That's what I call a paradise. http://goo.gl/hNAc26
