About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to let more fresh air in

ABOUT ME

I live in Prague and work as a freelance translator so I spend most of my time at home working, that's why I enjoy meeting new people which helps me cope with my workoholic tendencies. My working hours are flexible though, and when I can I take some time off and go travelling. Places I love: Ireland, California, Cambodia...
I also do some work for queer events - Czech film
festival Mezipatra, Prague Pride. And I identify myself as transgender.
I joined couchsurfing because I have already seen enough hostels and hotels and I am a naturally hospitable person too, who likes to talk to new people, show them around and learn new things in return.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to participate in this project, and am ready to provide my couchsurfing guests with maximum comfort, and anyway I love this idea, and I have a family tradition in couchsurfing, because as far as I remember, many people from different countries used to surf on the couches in our family living room.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Excellent

Interests

Travelling, of course, South East Asia (Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam), Ireland, USA

Reading books - majored in American and British literature (a looong time ago, my all time favourites: from McCarthy all the way to the Moomins, for instance),
Philosophy,

Movies (ok, you can imagine),

Queer stuff - organizing and visiting festivals, exhibitions etc.

I am not much into group sports, I am a lone runner who likes yoga, cycling, running, cross-country skiing and ice-skating, swimming in a tube:)
