About Me

We would like to open our home again :-) We have two kids - boys 6 an 3,5 years old.

Our perfect guest is a single traveler who stays two nights, plays with the kids and teaches them some English or their language :-) If the guest also cooks their speciality, we would be glad. In return, we offer you a second home with all its warmth and support.

CURRENT MISSION

To be a family - to love and respect each other, to grow together and to laugh a lot!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what you make it :-) Being nice and warm to people makes your life beautiful.

"When I meet people in different parts of the world, I am always reminded that we are all basically alike: we are all human beings. Maybe we have different clothes, our skin is of a different colour, or we speak different languages. That is on the surface. But basically, we are the same human beings. That is what binds us to each other. That is what makes it possible for us to understand each other and to develop friendship and closeness." Dalai Lama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted two Chinese girls for one night in 2011, we enjoyed our time together very much :-) That was my first experience :-) Then I also hosted an Indian - Dhaval - for one weekend :-) And since that I met many amazing people! In 2013 I went to UK for few months and made my best friends through CS from all around the world! We are still in touch and watch our kids grow old, which is amazing, because we all met as single people :-D

We can offer comfortalbe Ikea couch for two to sleep on, also pillows and blankets, towells, I can show you Prague and I can accompany you on some trips in CZ :-)

We can also offer the bed in children's room if our son allows - it is his safe place for toys :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Over all good. Sometimes the connection just doesnt click and then the stay is uncomfortable. But nothing dangerous happened so far :-)

Interests

I like meeting new cultures, origins, habits and people. I love babies, nature and water :-)
At most I love British culture - Harry Potter, Doctor Who, castles ... and the british accents!

In summer 2015 I started to do skydiving. I met my husband there. We have two boys, so we can teach you anything abou Legos, Xbox and weapons :-D
With me we can talk about motherhood, relationships, emotions, hospitals, Czech nature, movies, series, ecology and zero waste :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Understood the shade of the Earth on the moon during the night in Italy.

Been in Keukenhof gardens (Netherlands) full of my favourite flowers - tulips in spring 2014 and seeing the flower floeats in the parade.

Jumped from functional plane and flew on parashute down to the earth, all by myself!! :-) Many times :-D

Walked around 120 km through Italian Alps just me, my bag and my sleeping bag :)

Teach, Learn, Share

We can share our love philosophy and empathy way of living :-)
We can tell you how to be more ecological, how to create less garbage (zero waste philosophy), how to enjoy our planet more :)
I also have a secret recepi for the best Chocolate muffins in the world!

What I Can Share with Hosts

WITH GUESTS: I share a lot. Our kitchen and bathroom is all yours, I can cook a dinner for you. I will give you blankets and pillows and towels :-) I have special towel for you, so please ask for it and don't take ours...

WITH HOSTS: I can share my experience from traveling, our tips for raising a human. I usually bring some typical Czech gift with me, so that is definitely worth getting ;-)
