ABOUT ME
I come from South Moravia, the region known thanks to good wine and welcomming people. It is an amazing countryside beside the White Carpathian Mountains with lots of vineyards, orchards and flowering meadows surroundings.
Since I finished my master studies at university I've been working as a zoologist in Prague for three years. In 2012 I moved to New Zealand where I lived for one year. Between February and September 2013 I was working back in Prague for the agency for nature conservation. In fall 2013 I worked as a volunteer in Zambia Southern Province as a teacher at the local boarding school. Since 2014 I work as a environmentalist freelancer.
