Overview
About Me
Hey,
In the beginning of 2017 I have co-founded a web agency in Prague, so I am not able to travel and be spontaneous as much as I did during my studies. But summer is approaching, so since I don't have any big travelling plans ahead of me, at least some traveller could come.
MOTTO
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
ABOUTME
I love sports, hiking in mountains, grabing a beer and hanging out. I did some volunteering in Europe, solo travelled in South Africa and Tanzania in 2015, so I miss that from time to time.
These days, I'm mainly working in the office in my company, which is something I love... but some days I'd rather put my backpack on again.
I won't say no to a beer during the evening, so if you wanna just hang out, let me know. I don't really enjoy all the touristic place (The Castle, Old Town square etc) anymore, it's just too crowded...
I studied at Economic university at Faculty of Informatics, so it's something I am interested in: combination of management, web development, delivering useful products and services, having a working team...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I guess like everyone: getting known the local culture.
I've been couchsurfing in Belgium, Holland, South Africa, Spain and it was always great.
And I wouldn't mind practising my english (and learning Spanish finally) after a while.
Interests
I love sports: football, frisbee, running, tennis - actually most of team sports. I don't play profesionally anything now, only for fun.
I'm a huge fan of movies. But I mean even old, black-and-white movies with James Stewart, Cary Grant etc. I'm not afraid to say that's a unusuall in my age.
Of course travelling and drinking coffee with my legs on the table :)

Music, Movies, and Books
This could be a really long list:)
About music - it's very variable. From Beatles through Lenny Kravitz to dance music. It depends on the mood.
Lately prefer Aerosmith, Bon Jovi. To name others: Jimmy Cliff, Creedence Clearwater, Gipsy Kings, Mike and the Mechanics, AC/DC, The Jezabels and many others... TOP 1? Definitely QUEEN
Books are shorter list, I usually read only what my friends recommend me. But I have to say Paulo Coelho has some really interesting thoughts.
Movies is my hobby. I like to watch old classic movies from Frank Capra and my favourite present-day director is (hard to choose) Danny Boyle.
Few amazing movies I can watch over and over: The Shawshank Redemption, To kill a Mockingbird, Singin' in the rain, Roman Holiday, Die Hard, K-Pax, The Rock, The Sting...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I gotta mention my summer 2011, I was at my first volunteer workcamp in Italy. I found out how exciting it was - meeting new people, culture. That was my first travelling on my own :-)
- Hiking in Norway 2014 - what a wonderful country!
- Bungee Jump in Bloukrans, Solo hiking in Drakensberg (Lesotho)
- Volunteering in Tanzania
And of course, running a marathon in May 2015.
