About Me

I am a 3rd Computer Systems engineering student at the University of London. In my spare time, I work as a business analyst for a startup investment fund, I compose music and play both the piano and the guitar. My passions also include board games, hackathons (intense 24-48 hour programming/business competitions), photography, and acting (I played semi-professionally in a theatre for 2 years).

I grew up in Brighton and later moved to the Czech Republic. I've been living abroad on my own since I was 16 - studied at a boarding school in Denmark for a while and then finished high school with British A-levels. I am half Czech, half Slovak.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cause I love it! I hate conventional "tourist-esque" traveling.

Together with my friends, we are a group of young, energetic students that go together on adventures whether it be hiking, hitch-hiking or a hackathon or two.

Want to listen to me playing the piano? Discuss philosophical topics with no relevance to the real world? Go on a 60-km overnight hiking trip? Or just have fun with us playing a board game at twice the normal difficulty?
Then host us and let's have some fun!
