Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I have become a couch-surfer in 2015. In those times I loved traveling and I felt like I really need to visit as much countries as possible. However, soon after that, I switched my job position and started to travel literally round the world within my job. Suddenly I realized, that in those few moments of free time I like hiking in Czech Republic or Slovakia more than traveling abroad.

In 2019 I have changed the job again. Now I am not expected to travel so much. Thus it would be nice to revive my free-time traveling. Let's see.

Obviously, I am opened to host you or meet you during your visit to Czech Republic.

Interests

Dancing is really the biggest interest of mine. I danced on the competition level between 2007 and 2014. In 2014 I quit competing, but of course - I could not quit loving dance. Now I am a part-time dance lector in DANCE STUDIO STARLIGHT in Zlín, Czech Republic. I teach ballroom dance, zouk, salsa and bachata. And If I had more time, I would definitely start contemporary dance again.

I also love hiking. Being alone or in a small group in mountains is a very pleasant change to overcrowded everyday reality.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Various artists across different styles and decades. Totally in love with Spotify.
Movies: I don't watch movies very often.
Books: I try to return back to reading in spite of lack of time. Recently I have read several titles from David Michie. I can really recommend it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Somehow I have learned to dance in spite of lack of talent.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you need some tips or recommendations for beautiful places in Czech Republic, which are not full of tourists, I can give you some.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live alone in a flat. My possibilities are limited, but I can surely host about 2 people for some time. Please, don't expect a special room for you. The flat is not so big. On the other hand I would be happy to be your guide during your visit of Zlín and/or nearby sites (if I have some time for that).

If you have any question, please, feel free to ask.
