CURRENT MISSION

To write a novel in six months.

ABOUT ME

My parents are Czech and Slovak but I was born in England and mostly grew up in Kent. I have lived in London, Berlin and Prague - and now find myself once again back in Prague, let's see for how long ;) I'm not a very serious person and have to constantly remind myself that I am supposed to be an adult.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life in such a way that I am poor in money but rich in time to do the things that I enjoy and see the people that I love. Life should be about enjoying yourself and learning things, not killing yourself trying to make money. No-one said it better than the late great Alan Watts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERbvKrH-GC4
