Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the moment when there is a person you've never seen before, suddenly emerging from the anonymous crowd of passers-by in some strange city, who then happens to be your best friend, guide or travel-companion, soulmate or whatever for few hours or days.

And the moment you are saying goodbye, continuing with your travel, expecting you'll most likely never see each other again, but gaining the deep belief that there are great people in the word and you can and will meet some further on.

And as bonus the moment you meet again by absolute chance, so you start reconsidering that the chance was too low to be just a coincidence.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Few great days in the Netherlands and London, Hague,
few great CS meetings in Paris,
few great guests in Prague and Brandys.
Especially I found a nice way, that whenever I decide to host somebody in Prague, I ask almost all other (emegency) couch seekers there and we made a great evening together, and stay overnight in our huge but humble 'office'.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being fed up of travelling.
Wild-sleeping in a deserted mountians in UAE and in Dubai, city.
Seeing upset Cobra on a beach.
Living for few days in something-better-then-a-slum in the suburbs of Nairobi
Meeting and leading amazing talks to many strangers on the way.
I have been in Ladakh for a month, volunteering in a monastery.
I have organized small pilgrimage from Prague to my hometown:)

Now it has been the fourth year I have organized a youth volunteering summer camp in czech mountains. We always make a great group of young people, mew some meadow, help the locals with seasonal works, and make pretty tough activities to push everbyody forward.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be brave to enjoy and play any musical instrument without really knowing how to do it:)

Can talk about how to make nuclear fusion, how to make group of unknown people became great friends, how to care about mountain meadows.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Doubts and happiness.
