About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To play the game of life in a win-win way.

ABOUT ME

To give you some personal characteristics, I think I'm generally a kind person, rather calm than hotblooded, both patient (when teaching someone something) and impatient (when my computer is slow :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Give more than you take. Your freedom ends where the others' freedom begins. Don't waste our planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm inactive right now - undergoing a transition period at a rather crowded shared flat :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was able to do a wonderful hiking trip in the Julian Alps thanks to a guy (whom I knew only shortly at that time) who invited me to stay with their family and drove me where I needed. It was a beginning of a good friendship :-) And he was a couchsurfer. Then I did a completely crazy couchsurfing in Morroco, which was like a colourful whirlpool that sucks you in and wont let go :-)

Interests

I like doing sports - hiking especially in the mountains, via ferrata, bouldering, soccer, swimming, floorball, volleyball (but i'm lousy at it :-), skiing... Another passion of mine is music-I like to listen to it (rock, classical, folk...) and also to meet with friends and play it and sing (I play guitar and flute and little bit harmonica and i also sing). I like to go to bed tired with a prospect of good long sleep. I like reading books and trying new things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my experience with hiking in various mountain ranges (Jotunheimen, Pyrenees, various parts of the Alps, Retezat, Corsican Alps, High Atlas, Caucasus)... I can play you a czech folk song on guitar, maybe help you with mathematics and physics, and then there is a whole bunch of things in which I am not good enough in order to "teach" them but in which I am still interested and enjoy talking about.
