About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world and meet everyone that lives on it!

ABOUT ME

Google me!- just kidding :)
I'm positive, ambitious and fun person! I love to travel, explore new things ,going or experiencing adventures and meeting interesting people from all over the world. I also enjoy good music, movies,food, wine and all sorts of adrenalin sports!
I was born in Czech Republic, where I lived until I was 17. Decided to do something big with my life and so I moved to Florida and started studying there. I have lived in Florida for the last 5 years!
This year I'm doing an exchange semester in Japan, trying to learn Japanese, eat tons of sushi and meet new people! It's been great so far!

I'm an entrepreneur, trying to make my living by working for myself.
I have started several companies, some were a disaster, some turned out pretty good. I'm currently focusing on import/export, international freight transportation and event management.
I'm currently studying Management of Information systems at Florida Atlantic University!
Some of the sports I love and do are - Ice Hockey, kitesurfing and martial arts. There is barely any sport I haven't tried and if there is, it's on my goal list for the next year!!
I'm an extrovert and love to meet new people.
Hey, I guess that's it. If you would like to know more, just shoot me a message!!
