About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spend the lifetime in way you can later tell your granchildren good stories

ABOUT ME

Easy-going, open-minded, jokes-loving ;)
OK, to be specific:
Easy-going - Am I in trouble? No, its relative. There are people in this world, who suppose to face real troubles. My "troubles" are trivial.
Open-minded - So you are into late 18th century music? So you like breeding guinea pigs? So you are making wooden furniture? Tell me about it! Tell me your opinion! Maybe it can helps me to tell me something about myself :)
Jokes-loving:
"I’m on a whiskey diet. I’ve lost three days already."
"Try polo, they said. But my horse drowned."

PHILOSOPHY

I am trying to find the balance: There is nothing only black or white, there is not a single point of view to particular thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Still some kind of newbie in here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No personal experience yet, just recommendations and reviews from my friends.

Interests

ROCK, R.O.C.K., High Voltage Rock'n'Roll - you know what I mean... but all those old-fashined blues perfomers are also great ;) Going to gigs is my duty.
Ice Hockey - such a thrilling fun.. for an enthusiastic fan (like me) - I can miss a game only when there is a good band in town (see above) ;)
Travelling - just around my town or a big tour abroad..? Who cares! It's great to see something new, to meet a different people, LIVE THE DIFFERENCE :)
Cheese - Gouda, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Tilsit, Blue Stilton, Cheddar and many others.. I love all of them!
I must say, history is also a big playground for me. Learning about the motivations, customs, destiny of mankind of the past. History of Europe, history of popular music..

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: music documentaries (and mocumentaries) - No Direction Home, This Is Spinal Tap.. etc; Czech comedies, British sitcoms (Allo Allo, Red Dwarf, Father Ted, Black Adder, Yes Minister; Monty Python, Mighty Boosh..).. also Forest Gump, Back To The Future III, Rocky series and Bud Spencer/Terence Hill classics

Music: from AC/DC to ZZ Top = classic rock, including Bob Dylan.. blues, old american country, progressive rock or american folk - these all are also welcome
Currently I am very much listening: Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Mark Knopfler, George Harrison, Paul Rodgers (including Bad Company), Black Sabbath (both original line-up and the Dio line-up) and Eagles..
Books: Orwell's 1984, Russian writers.. and all "scientific" stuff related to history

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have tried to drive a tram! I never thought that this can be so difficult! :-D

I have fulfiled some of my personal dreams:
see Dominik Hasek & Jaromir Jagr in a match
see NHL game (twice!)
see the band Queen live (twice!)
...

The best is yet to come!

Teach, Learn, Share

Do you want me to recommend you a good rock concert? Do you need to know which record is the best to start with Queen, Bob Dylan or Led Zeppelin? Do you want me to know some nice places to go in Czech Republic? Are you in doubt about some NHL fact? Would you like to know more about European integration or central European politics? At your service, sir! :)

When I am traveling outside my country I am always interested about the history of the country. But not only that. To know the country well means - to understand the reality of everyday life. To know the local grain food vendor, to read local newspaper, to know if the local football team is winning. And that is thing that CS experience can give me.
