About Me

update: Moved to NYC in March 2022 after living in London (2018-2022), originally from Prague.

no hidden word in my profile, just read it so you can be sure that you really want to surf my couch :-D

CURRENT MISSION

Build great memories, experiences, laughs and emotions with people from all over the world.

ABOUT ME

Originally from Prague, I work as an Internal Auditor, currently based in London, with 50 % of my time spent on business travels so you need some luck to catch me in London :D. Still feeling quite new to London so we can explore it together. I have lived in Prague for 8 years and I love it! Beside that I make my dreams come true. I love travelling and exploring new cultures. My best experience so far was 3 months staying in NYC :) I worked as a barista at Times Square. I´ve always been excited about coffee. Thanks to this experience I learned how to make amazing espresso drinks and even latte art.

PLEASE DON'T SEND ME YOUR REQUEST EARLIER THAN 2 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR ARRIVAL. Hope you understand that it's difficult to manage time in advance...

I like to host people that would like to get to know me and London. I don't enjoy hosting people who just want to save money. If you just need a place to sleep you may be better suited for a hostel/hotel or another host.

My friends would describe me as an easygoing, empathic, respectful, funny, positive and sociable:). I like working hard and playing harder. I aslo love cooking, travelling and meeting new people. I like to have fun, visiting parties, dancing and all other funny and adventurous activities:)

PHILOSOPHY

There are no strangers, but friends you haven't met yet:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After 8 years on CouchSurfing I can say I met some of the best people in my life thank to CouchSurfing. For me CS is great way to meet new people and making new friendships. And also learn from hosts more about cities and places we visit.

I´m glad to help people to get (better) know London and Czech Culture.
