About Me

I am a typical skateboarder and longboarder from Prague, Czech Republic. I am used to a really cheap way of life and I am used to camping whenever it's possible. So i would not complain if a couchsurfing means sleeping on a floor. I usually travel because of skateboarding to cities and because of longboarding to countryside. I love how those sports are connecting people around the world and everywhere when you say that you skate you have immediately lots of friends. And when you are traveling with your skateboard, you are living that skatelife. Of course that skateboarding is an pivotal point in my life but I have of course lots of friend outside of the skate bubble. I love traveling just for the exploring of new places and people. I prefer to travel to some "wild" countries because they are more authentic than those civilised ones. I also like art and I like going to the art museums around the world. I love the underground hipster sub culture places and venues so that's what I am looking for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that it is possible to travel without money, because it was possible in the past. Just now, the people require to pay them for everything. Yes, I can pay , but through money you can't forge real friendships and cultural exchanges. I am a leftist and i dislike this highest stage of capitalism of airbnb etc. People should have their house doors always open and welcoming new people outside of their comfort zone.
Student life in Czech republic is quite hard. Schools are hard, you don't have usually time for a job so you don't have any money for traveling. Also for us living in Prague tends to be more and more expensive so you spend a lot of money here. I spend a lot of money for starting fees on races and that's also why I am so broken.

I listen especially to rap and hiphop. Modern and oldschool. But I like alternative rock so much and other alternative music styles.
I don't have to much time for reading but i like adventure books and novels
I don't spend too much time in front of the TV, just for gaming on playstation. I usually dislike multiplayer games and I like games with a good storyline.
