Couch Information


No couch currently available for surfing.

Couch picture

I live with my family (2 parents) in a flat about 20mins by metro from the city centre. My flat is just 2mins walk from a metro station.

No pets

I do not smoke but you can smoke on the balcony.

There's so many fun things to do in Prague..
I write for this site http://www.spottedbylocals.com/prague/ so I always know what's going on :)

BUT I'm VERY busy with school so it really depends on the actual situation whether I'll be able to show you around the city or not.
Bedtime, weekdays/weekends, lenght of the stay - I am cool with any.
Yes, I have blankets and sheets.

Je prefère les couchsurfers francophones.

Types of People I enjoy

I am a very easygoing person with an optimistic yet realistic view of the world and I generally enjoy people with a similar attitude. At the same time I find myself considerate enough to get along with fairly anyone. I prefer spending time with people who have a passion in their life, whether it's a sport, job or deep interest in art, or also people with great plans and goals, because I think it's very inspiring.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some of my photography tricks or make a nice picture of you so that you can put it on your CS profile and everyone will envy and want to couchsurf with you :D Also I can try to help you with your medical condition (basic diagnosis, improvised surgery, administering over-the-counter drugs)... just kidding :) Or we can simply talk and talk and talk - never found a better way of widening each other's horizons

I love learning new languages, I'm fascinated by people's life stories

I never get fed up with sharing experience and I consider it one of the main purposes of travelling

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Done: I was born. I can't stop wondering since then

Seen: A storm over Grand Canyon

Locations Traveled

TRAVELED: Austria, England, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, United States
WANTS TO GO: China, New Zealand, North Korea, Russia


What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.
