About Me

I am an unshakable optimist, a sensitive friend, clean roommate, loving son, wanderer, enthusiastic grounbreaker, constant learner, yoga practitioner, freelance facilitator, trainer and peace educator, tho chemistry graduate. I mostly work with youth, but also with teachers and adults. I'm also part of USE-IT Prague, a group of local volunteers making non-commercial maps that allow young travellers to experience the city just as locals.

I believe that in order to see the beauty of a culture or a place it's necessary to include in own experience also its daily routines and challenges. Those I find strikingly interesting and that is why I appreciate things like CS, USE-IT and others.

I am addicted to music and movement, I enjoy nature and to be present with others in silence, I love to learn about art, books, stories.
