Originally from Czechia; living in Barcelona since 2019. I'm a very sociable, easy-going, and reliable person. I write software documentation for a living.

I’ve got a master’s in teaching English as a second language, and I've worked as both an English tutor and a translator from English into Czech.

I value kindness and genuine human connection. I try to live with courage, embrace simplicity, and always look for ways to contribute meaningfully to others’ lives.

I think life should be fun – we shouldn't take everything too seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, discussing ideas, traveling, and learning languages.
