ABOUT ME

I love phonetics, which I study in an MA course. I also studied English & American Studies, which left me with a passion for literature as well. But what takes most of my free time is music in all its forms: listening to it, performing with a band (guitar & vocals), and composing songs.
Naturally, I love travelling, but nothing long-term - two weeks are fine for me :) Lately I've been interested in European countries like Italy, France or Spain, which I mean to visit soon. I love Berlin as well. And UK, of course!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am rather an occasional participant in CS, but I always warm up when summer is coming! I can occasionally accommodate people, and I am always willing to take a stroll around Prague or meet up for a coffee or drink.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few years ago me and my friends made a two-week CouchSurfing tour around England, and it was just wonderful! Meeting other people was so great that I decided to join in as well. Last summer we made a trip to France and it was even better than ever before.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending a few days in a tropical jungle
Eating seafood in Normandy and discovering afterwards that some of it was still alive when being eaten...

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning is the easy part, as I want to learn anything you suggest to teach me. As for teaching, I can show you how to play the guitar or I can share my experience in any of the other things I do.
