Just moved to a new apartment and might be able to host (depending on whether it would overlap with my own travels or not)

CURRENT MISSION

I want to help others develop their leadership potential and to support leaders in delivering positive imact for the society. And without a doubt to have fun doing it. :-) Also, I believe that travel is a journey towards who you really are - and as such it is a very precious experience

ABOUT ME

I am a recent graduate from the Czech Republic who currently lives in Belgium. I went for several trips abroad, including two-month AIESEC internships in India & Egypt and AEGEE Summer universities in Greece, Turkey and Italy - the first of which I spiced up by 2 more weeks of traveling through the Balkans. I also stayed in the USA for one high school year and totally loved it! And I spent almost equally memorable 4 months in Hong Kong. In addition to traveling, I enjoy discussing economics and politics, investing, cycling, skiing, dancing, taking photos and meeting new people. Always open to learn and immerse in other cultures and opinions :-) Post-Covid, I traveled to Morocco and Peru and these trips have successfully restarted my wanderlust!

PHILOSOPHY

I can learn something from everybody. Everybody can learn something from me.

If you are growing, you are growingly challenged. If you are not challenged enough, you are stagnating.

Life unexamined is a life not worth living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy meeting people around the world & finding out more about their perspective on life, society, politics, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

jumping from the boat in Greece - and saving an indian guy who jumped without knowing how to swim!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love this idea!

I can share that investing can be a really great way of using one's money productively. Let it not sit below your bed - let it work for you. According to my experience, investing is by far not that hard as everybody says. All you need to do is to learn about it, try out different methods and stick to those that prove to be working.

And you can use the money you make this way for anything you want - to buy something, to travel or even to donate it for your favourite cause. Isn't that cool? :-)
