My name is Eliška, I am 18 years old. I live in Brno, Czechia and currently studying at high school. I can be talkative but mostly I prefer listening to people. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and visit new places around the world.

Interests

Majority of my free time I spent by swing dancing. I started dancing almost 4 years ago and I love it. I also dance ballet. I love to try new sports even though I am not the best in most of them.
I have a 4 year old dog, her name is Bessy and she is Coton de Tyler (smaller fluffy beige ball). I like to play with her and taking care of her.
Since I stopped eating meat I started cooking more. My favorite meal is coconut curry and rice. I also love to experiment in the kitchen, so I bake a lot. I can bake something delicious and unhealthy as well as something healthy.
I love art in many ways. I often visit jazz concert, go in different museums as well as reading books and poems. I sometimes create something by myself, but I am not proud of it.
I love every kind of animals but I have an arachnophobia, so please don’t show me pictures or real spiders.
I love to try new things and push myself a little from my comfort zone.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
I listen different types of music, but one of my favorite genre is jazz and swing music. I attend at least three jazz concerts per month. My favorite artist are for example Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, T. Monk.
From other genres I like David Bowie, Elton John, Queen, Earth, Wind&Fire.
I would be interested if you show me some music that you like.

Movies
I don’t watch movies that often, but when I do I like to watch some detective story, Marvel movies or comedies.
When I do have time I watch series . I’ve seen himym, stranger things, agents of shield, Rick and Morty, Sherlock, Black Mirror.

Books
I read a lot when I have time. I like to read detective stories - Agatha Christie, Jeffery Deaver, Lars Kepler. Then I also like books written by Oscar Wilde, Milan Kundera, Voltaire, E. M. Remarque.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started dancing lindy hop (swing dance) when I was 15. I found here a lot of my true friends, even though they’re usually a lot older than me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some basics of swing dancing. I can bring you typical czech snacks and our alcohol. I can cook a veggie meal or bake pie or brownies. If you want to learn some funny words from czech, I would love to do so.
I am open to learn everything!
