About Me

ABOUT ME
I am 23 years old guy studying university in Czech. 2 years ago I hitchhiked to Germany with my friend and last year, I spent 4 months with my girlfriend in US, Michigan and year after I lived 4 months in Alaska wilderness in remote town called McCarthy, surrounded by mountains, glaciers and wild life.

We were working in hotel resort doing housekeeping. Made enough money to pay for the expenses and then travel around 3 weeks on the West Coast which was the most amazing thing I or We have ever done.

I would say i have great sense of humor and i dont take anything personally. I love meeting new people and seeing new places. I love the quote "You live only once". Thats why we should enjoy everything as much as possible. Also I love nature, hiking, traveling and music, every kind of music ;)

I would love to meet new people and discover new things and places.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is full of kind people. If you can not find one, be one!

Treat others how you wanna be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very positive. Did use couchsurf for the first time in Alaska and it was the best idea ever. I have only positive experiences with couchsurfing. Found a lot of new friends that helped me while I was in the foreign country. I would like to help others too when they travel

Interests

NATURE NATURE NATURE! ADVENTURE ADVENTURE ADVENTURE!

Music, beer (I am Czech haha), nature, hiking, outdoor activities, meeting new people, sports, I like english too, movies, Game of Thrones, Friends, HIMYM etc.

No honestly, as long as the experience is cool I am up to whatever activity. I am fine with just sitting at home, talking about life and sharing experiences and opinions.

During my last year in US I have lived for 3-4 months with 100 people from all around the world (Jamaica, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Poland, US, Serbia etc.) and i LOVED it. So my interest is also in meeting other people and create a positive relationship and share a nice experiences and stories while we spend time together :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

as 21 years old guy lived in US for 4 months with people from all around the world and traveled West Coast and Michigan state.

As 23 years old I lived 4 months in Alaskan wilderness in remote lost town called McCarthy. A place, where the sun never sets, you are surrounded by mountains, wildlife and glaciers.

Bought old, rusty van for 1000 bucks and drived it around Alaska. Watched glorious northern lights dancing above lake in Alaska.

When I was in Czech I went to lot of music festivals during the summer. I hitchiked to Germany and I ate an living worm once, although I felt bad afterwards haha.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Czech! I can share my experiences and you can share yours. I can give you nice insight about Europe or my country and people that live here or people that I have met.

I can share my experiences from working abroad or traveling.

Basically, we can talk or share whatever you want. I would say I am open-minded person, so there is not many things we can not do! ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Whatever we decide on together and the Host is comfortable with.

You are doing me the favour of sharing with me, I will adapt 100% and try to share atleast something pleasant with you, so you get something back. Since you are sharing the place voluntary with me.
