About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finally make good documentary film.

ABOUT ME

Young and creative student who wants to explore as many places as possible and as well to met many people from different culture.
Interested in film (especially documentaries), politics and of course travelling ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

The most important for me is to respect different personalities and opinions of people. Nobody can be poor and rich in one moment, the same as healthy and ill - but crucial is to uderstand people's personality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed:
Poland, Poznan. Lived with great alternative students. They helpes us a much with our student project - documentary movie about squatting and in the evening we had a realy fun!

Syria, Aleppo. First contact with Arabic culture was more easier with Kadira - our host. He is perfect guide with huge knowledge of history. With his cousin we spent some days in this beautiful city.

Germany, Berlin.Last part of making of student's documentary movie about squatting. I really like the atmosphere of Berlin and hospitality of family we live in.

Hosted:
Not yet, however I moved to better flat in Prague recently, so I'm waiting for crowd of Couchsurfers now :-)

Interests

Photography
It's one of the best way, how to share stories about your live and lives of people you met. Most of all I like documentary photo - to show people in situations how it really happened. But it's hard. Sometimes you need very sensitive approach to people.

You're welcome to visit my gallery.

Making short movies.
Deset (The Ten)
First kiss of flim work. It pains me to see it know, but in the recent times I loved it :-) Movie about chicane in school. Young Michael is underestimated and beating by his classmates, but one day he decided to revenge. You're welcome to watch it! With english subtitles.

As a student of film school, I am going to make some portfolio with English subtitles.

Playing the guitar.
I have both kinds - electric and accoustic, but I am playing just for fun and not so good. I wanted to have a band with friends, but we hadn't much time for it.

Playing the accordion.
I bought it in the begining of March 2013 and I absolutely love it! Playing it every day, it's just a passion.
