About Me

In general I try not to judge people and be generous. Only attributes I require in a person are goodwill and sense of humour. I am more silent than talkative, but if you get me started on a topic I am passionate about, I can go on for hours.

My family has a history of communist persecution, non-compliance with authority and generally not shutting up about what we believe in. In order to think, you have to take the risk of being offensive sometimes. I am ready to cordially disagree with you and please be ready to do the same.

The most important quote of the 20th century is by Viktor Frankl: “There are two races of men in this world, but only these two—the 'race' of the decent man and the 'race' of the indecent man. Both are found everywhere; they penetrate into all groups of society. No group consists entirely of decent or indecent people.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a couch, free weekends and little time to travel at the moment. Since I am more interested in people than places, I want to make the world come to me.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
All time favorite band is Pink Floyd, but I like all the good music (mainly progressive rock, folk and reggae). In the last couple of months I started listening to electronic music more ...

MOVIES
I like TV series based on great characters like The Office, Rick and Morty or Parks and recreation.

BOOKS
I love both reading and listening to audio-books (always when I drive). Some favorite authors (not an exhaustive list or in any order of importance) are George Orwell, Thomas Sowell, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Jonathan Haidt, C.S. Lewis

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For 10 years now being part of Slovak national bridge team, as a player, youth coach or captain, attending international tournaments around Europe ...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some fun card games (but they are mostly complex, I love strategy).

I love learning new stuff, but nothing special comes to mind ... if you want to learn something for a long time, you don't really want to learn it. You just brag about it.

I can share my knowledge, strong opinions on issues, crazy stories and drinks. Since the time I got married, I am able to share food as well.
