About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Never is better time to explore and travel than now!

ABOUT ME

I'm entrepreneur, traveler, very easy to talk to, positive person and sometimes a geek. I'm from Prague - Czech Republic. I think, that I'm very tolerant and I like joking about everything. But why to be stressed??? I think that life should be enjoyed and not suffered :-) I always honestly say what I think and I hate to pretend something. I love traveling, but I'm not a "beach" tourist, I can't stay all the time on the same place doing nothing or only going to organized excursions, I love to go hiking to nature, visiting small villages and meeting with locals, because very often a journey is the goal.

PHILOSOPHY

You can change world only by changing yourself! Be always such, how you wish that others will behave to you, because the reality is usually formed just from your expectations!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I got to know about it from friends and also from my sister, who hosted a french guy at our home. When I was studying at Kansas State University - USA, I experienced couchsurfing each holiday and I was so lucky to meet many amazing and interesting people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did a lot of backpacking in Europe and I was many times very positively surprised by hospitality of people. CS network is the amazing idea, how to make connecting of good people very easy.

Interests

Travelling, hiking, skiing, riding bicycle, just going into nature especially to mountains and meeting new cultures. I like travelling by train, because you always meet there with people. I also enjoy all the computer stuff, which is related to my work and studies. And last but not the least I always like to taste local cuisine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I traveled in Macedonia and Albania I realized, that people can be so wise and educated, even when they don't hold any degree from some well known school and live in a village in the middle of mountains. They can point the main core of a problem probably much more better then people with a cool education from high bureaucratic big cities and you can discuss with them topics, you wouldn't expect.
