About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy my life

ABOUT ME

Originally, I come from the Czech Republic but I moved to the UK in February 2006. I came back to the Czech Republic in January 2013. What do I like? Art. Why? Because if you wanna understand art then you have to use brain and imagination. I don`t think that there is any definition what art is what it is not.In my opinion it is a common sense what`s missing the society of these days. I have learnt a lot since I faced my fear of being wrong and unknown environment.
My favorite music styles are rock, metal and to be honest it is any style except Britney Spears and boys band. I more prefer to spend evening in a theatre, walking in a countryside or with a book rather than watching TV. BTW I dont have TV. I like modern and contemporary art, as I mention above, especially performance art.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would wish to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think that being an acitive member of CS is participating :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience of CS is coming from Bath. I met a number of great people over there. I remember on Ash and him sharing his experience of couchsurfing in Italy and telling me that it was hard for him as male traveller to find a host. Since then I moved to Cardiff and decided not to make difference between male or female traveller. And it has worked that way until my journey to Istanbul after that things have changed and I am more picky where I sleep and who do I host.

Interests

Photography
Drawing (especially Life Drawing)
Movies
Books
PC games (advanture, RPG)
Walking and recently I have taken up winemaking as my new hobby. Well, perhaps I should mention that it turns into vinegar making. Never mind, I'll try next summer again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It might sound ridiculous for many of you but it is sea. I like the smell, sound, strength and the energy emanating from the sea. Due to my origins, growing up in landlock country, I am very strongly fascinated by sea. The first time when I saw the sea I was 24 years old.

Teach, Learn, Share

well, I can teach Czech :) I can share my knowledge of Modern and Contemporary Art.
