🌿 Summer Notice 🌿
Hi everyone!
I won’t be accepting any Couchsurfing requests during the summer. I’ll be travelling myself, and I also have a flatmate staying over the summer.

Thanks for understanding and have a great summer! 🌞

‼️‼️‼️ No reviews + lazily filled-out profile + no photos = no reply from me.‼️‼️‼️

📚Please Read Before Sending a Request

If you want to ask me for hosting, please take a moment to read my profile first. I know it’s a lot of text—but you’re asking to stay in my home, so it’s only fair that you know who I am and what the conditions are.

✅️I HOST ONLY DURING A WEEKEND. From Friday to Monday.

And also… whether you actually like me as a person. Trust me, I’ll read your profile too—probably twice.

👩🏼ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Slovak🇸🇰, but I moved to the Czech🇨🇿 Republic 8 years ago for university and somehow never left. Now I live in Prague and teach Slovak and Czech to foreigners, which means I talk a lot and genuinely enjoy grammar—yep, one of *those* people.

I’m thoughtful, a bit of a dreamer, and I value honesty and depth. I love slow mornings, smart conversations, people who are kind without trying too hard, and those who can make me laugh with dry or dark humor.

👩🏼‍🏫What I Do

I’m a teacher and a linguistics student, focusing on Slavic morphology (sounds scary, but it's just fun with word forms). When I’m not working, I write poetry, read, or just walk around the city.

😁Fun Facts

– I walk everywhere and avoid public transport when I can.
– I laugh at things I maybe shouldn’t.
– I can teach you Slovak or Czech bad words.
– I can cook, pretty well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don’t really have many people to travel with these days. Maybe it’s an age thing—everyone’s busy, planning, settling down… and I still want to wander. Couchsurfing feels like a beautiful way to see places through someone else’s eyes, not just through guidebooks.

Of course, I’d be more than happy to return the kindness—whether it’s by sharing a meal, a story, or just being a respectful guest who’s curious about the world. I love hearing what others have experienced, seen, and would recommend.

Also, there's English. I realized I rarely get a chance to actually speak it, so this is also a small challenge for me—to communicate, learn, and maybe ask for the occasional translation help (nothing Google couldn’t handle though).

Interests

I love getting lost in cities (on purpose), reading poetry out loud when no one's listening, and watching old buildings quietly exist. I enjoy writing—mostly poetry and reflections—and I’m always trying to capture that one perfect sentence that says more than a whole conversation.

I’m fascinated by languages and how people think in them. I also like exploring cafés, cooking for friends, and board games that make you overthink everything. If there’s music playing, I’ll probably be humming along—or holding a karaoke mic like I was born for it.

I go to the gym regularly, mostly to stay sane. And I travel whenever there’s a chance—be it far away or just to the next village with a funny name.

A souvenir that always makes me smile? A cookbook with national dishes and pictures. No photos, no joy!

Music, Movies, and Books

Most of the time I’m surrounded by textbooks, grammar guides, and whatever the university throws at me—but when I have a moment for myself, I love detective stories. Give me a smart mystery and a rainy evening, and I’m happy.

As for music, it’s a mix of everything. I listen to a lot of songs in Russian, Ukrainian, and Polish. Sometimes I’ll play something from the radio, but only if the lyrics are interesting—I like music that says something. When I just want background noise, I’ll go for house or something rhythmic.
And my heart? It belongs to the music of Final Fantasy. I even went to a live orchestra concert once—it gave me chills. I still think about it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve lost 23 kg—and I’m still going. It’s been a long journey, not just physical but also mental. And it taught me a lot about discipline, patience, and how strong I can be when I stop giving up on myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

– Want to sound like a local in Slovakia or the Czech Republic? I can teach you the finest selection of local swear words—with proper pronunciation and cultural context, of course.
– If I have time, I’ll happily cook something for you. I like food that tells a story.
– I know some amazing spots around Prague—quiet cafés, moody bookstores, places with great wine or the best view.
– I can help you with Slovak or Czech if you’re learning. Even if you're not, I might accidentally start explaining grammar.
– And if you're in the mood, we can sing karaoke or just sit somewhere, drink coffee, and overanalyze life like true philosophers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a respectful, tidy, and easy-going guest who always tries to bring positive energy. I can help with cooking, cleaning, pet care, or practicing languages (especially Slovak, Czech, Russian, and English). I enjoy good conversation, sharing stories, and learning about different ways of life. I'm also independent and don't require constant attention — I appreciate both connection and personal space.
