About Me

I am very interested in ecological and sustainable way of life, plant cultivation, traveling, healthy lifestyle, personal development, history and nature in general. Since my childhood I am also vegetarian and now I'm exploring and enjoying vegan lifestyle. I participated in several international workcamps (Croatia, Belgium) and I helped to co-lead one in my country. Volunteering in Czech Republic, Belgium, Croatia, Norway and India. I worked in Prague, Switzerland, Norway and finished my master in Prague.

I worked in the northern-most Botanical Garden in the world in Tromso, Norway.
I did my one-year study Erasmus in Austria - Vienna, I also joined for a summer school in the UK and in India.
In India and Norway I also did some volunteer project in a Permaculture gardens and orchard.

For my European Voluntary Service I coordinated International Woodland Conservation Projects in Killarney National Park in Ireland (Invasive rhododendron control in remote mountain areas). During 2019-2020 I got funding for a research project in German eco-villages to promote the rise of eco-villages in my home country - the Czech Republic.
