CURRENT MISSION

to explore as many different cultures as possible within one's lifetime while keeping it smile.

ABOUT ME

I'm not young but not old. An early forties gentlemen enjoying the trip through his lifetime. I'm very friendly but not a great talker. I rather do than talk. ;-)
I grew up in Czech Republic and when I was 20 I decided to set off for my first backpack ever which made me to be a total travel addict. I've never returned back home for permanent living ever since. After a few months wondering around the continent I ended up living in, what i class to be my second home, England. This helped me to improve my English and also good opportunity to save some money and start travelling even more.
I'm honest, easygoing, laid-back and I don't take trouble or life too seriously.
I just simply love living my life! And I love my wife!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm tirelessly curious world wanderer. My main passion lies in capturing disappearing cultural traditions either on "the old continent" or elsewhere outside of here. Places I intend to visit all have one in common - they are unique and still remain far behind the rush of our modern society. They differ not only culturally but also ethnically. And that is always common aim of my travels - to capture the human element.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've got a Vietnamese wife and we currently rent a small house in the south of Vietnam in a place called Da Lat. Any couch-surfer heading our way is welcome to stay with us. We're a multicultural household which loves animals thus both of us are semi-vegans. If you don't mind staying meet free you're welcome to stay with us. One thing to admit - we are strictly meet and alcohol free creatures and those things are not allowed in our household for some certain personal reasons. We do not welcome drinkers!

None whatsoever so far as I'm new to the society hence waiting for things to happen.. ;-)
