About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover the world... To find the beauty.

ABOUT ME

I'm a dreamer. I can see unicorns in the clouds and I love it. I'm friendly, communicative, open-hearted, honest and fascinated by almost everything in this world... :) I love to listen to people and share experience and creative ideas.
I love the world in its imperfection and I love the fact, that all people aren't the same. So, I enjoy getting to know other cultures and new people.

I also like my cities - Bratislava, the place where I grew up and Brno, the city I´m living in now, and I love visiting other cities and getting to know people who live there.

My current occupation is my work as a production manager and non-formal educator in an educational company Proraptor in Brno and I also organize a project about architecture, urbanism and the life of a city in general called Brno hraje na city (sadly, we don´t have English version online yet). I believe in what Confucius had said, "Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand.", and that´s why I love traveling "with" couchsurfing, because I like to get to know new people and their cultures.

If you think, that this isn´t enough "about me", you´d have to come to Brno to meet me, or we can meet in your city. :-) I´m really looking forward to that...

PHILOSOPHY

As Keith Haring said: "Everything I have to do in this world is to do something."

I believe that universe is a beautiful place and if you are good and polite person someone will notice.
And as Scroobius Pip says: "In this world Elwood, you must me ou so smart, or ou so pleasant. For years I've been smart, I recommend pleasant."
I also believe that doing something is the best way to get things done.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf and I host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don´t have a lot of CS experience, but I´m planning to change it.
I was at some CS meetings in Brno (I study there), I met some CS people in Bratislava (mostly when my friends hosted them) and I surfed a little...
All these experiences were really good and I hope to meet a lot of amazing CS people in the future.

Interests

I´m interested in everything what is linked with the beauty. Meeting people from other cultures, meeting my friends, discovering aesthetic aspect in common life, architecture, public space, urban life, new ways of education, game design, new media, fine arts, design, cooking, music, dance, yoga and many many other things...
