Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Chasing snow and waves around the world and exploring foreign cultures. Self educating based on traveling and trying to find out a sense of life...
ABOUT ME
Hey here I am. Easygoing and open-minded Czech guy.
I was always curious what is it like out there in the world and traveled around europe with parents since my childhood.
Once I finished my studies and gained a bit of work experience in my fields of Steel fab/Welding and Ski Instructing I started traveling and living in foreign countries on my own.
In 8 years since then I lived in England, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Northern Ireland and most recent Norway. I have visited all the continents except Antarctica.
It totally opened my eyes. I learnt how to travel off the beaten path and live independent, geined new work skills, learnt about foreign cultures, improved skills at sports I love and best of all I got to know myself better.
I enjoy to see results of my actions and I always try to leave something behind me by for example teaching people skiing techique and putting them to higher level, fabricating steel movie sets and seeing them recorded forever in TV shows. Even in off season when I just travel I try to teach basic english in local schools in the small villages around South East Asia and Indonesia. Eventhough its always for little while atleast I try to leave something behind...
PHILOSOPHY
It's not the mountain we conquer-but ourselves.
Sir Edmund Hillary
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning.
Albert Einstein
"Perhaps a man hitched to the cart of a Martian or roasted on the spit by inhabitants of the Milky Way will recall the veal cutlet he used to slice on his dinner plate and apologize (belatedly) to the cow."
Milan Kundera
One good thing about music is when it hits you you feel no pain.
Bob Marley
Once we want to become more than a human we are less.
William blake
One life is too short for cognition of the whole world

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
As I travel or live at staff acommodation of the ski resorts I work for, it is not always possible to acommodate people. Sometimes it is possible though so I try do my best to get people to stay if I can!
I can meet up people and give them information about certain places mostely ski resorts and surfspots.
