About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to fully comprehend human individuals and the interactions between them.

ABOUT ME

Well, I try not to go on people's nerves, eventhough I am rather eccentric and outgoing, and somehow, that works out just fine. I noticed just recently how much I love the arts, I really need people who I can share art with. Also, politics is very important to me, thus trying to comprehend the world a little better. I appreciate honesty and truth, but they go hand in hand anyway. Yes, truth, that is something worth living for.

PHILOSOPHY

Let everybody live their own life. What is WRONG with people, who cannot tolerate other lifeforms?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host as many people that come to the north of the Czech Republic. Also, I'd like to use CS for my journeys in Europe and any other part of the world that I can afford.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I got to know a load of new people from all around the world who are interesting and enjoyable and have their share of stories to tell. Grand!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw one of these floating squirrels when I was in Palenque, Mexico. If you want to know true happiness, see one of these animals. Wow.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn a new language. Preferably anything, that I don't know at all. Bosnian, for example. It might be slightly similar to czech, but I expect it to surprise me. I can tell you about the 20th century in Europe, you teach me a language.
