Hi, I am Alex. I am originally from Slovakia, but I live in Czech Republic in Brno. I moved here to study at the university and stayed here ever since.

I am rather interested in Japan and especially the Japanese language (although I am not exactly fluent). My interest originated from my fondness of written scripts and kanji. And later I got to like anime.

I am also developing lingaku.com - a site for learning Japanese.

I also have an interest in aviation (and if I get a chance I'd like to get a pilot license), but for now I am just flying in my home flightsim setup (see the photo).

I love food, especially Asian food. My trip to China was the best culinary experience I had. And Japan gave me its own share of favorable experiences.

Finally, I play the piano. A little bit - I am basically a beginner right now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am going for a trip in Japan for two weeks (2026, April 29 - May 11). And besides visiting some of my favorite places and eating my favorite foods, I'd also love to meet some locals and possibly cook some food for them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a few Slovak words. And hit your piano keys while you cover your ears ;) - no worries it won't be too long because I can only play roughly two pieces.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to cook some Slovak food for you.
