About Me

After 7 years in biggest law firm in the world I quit my job and decided to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always used couchsurfing as great way to host and meet people from all around the world in my apartment in Prague.

Now I will try it the other way around and hope I will get to know some locals during my travels.

Interests

I love music, photography and traveling. I used to play bassguitar in metal band, trumpet in jazz band and also classical music on piano. My both parents are musicians, so I am open minded to any kind of music and I have favorite artists probably in any genre including all types of metal, jazz, swing, rap or drum&bass (from time to time I really enjoy going to big parties but mostly "broken beats").

A have traveled through the Europe quite a lot. Some of the destinations I visited by hitch-hiking and travelling very low cost (Croatia, Germany, Italy) and any other countries I visited by plane but as a back-packer usually (Spain, UK, France, Italy, Greece, Egypt, Norway, Iceland and many other). I also love driving and going on road trips (three weeks road trip across south Europe). My experiences outside Europe include Egypt, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia and Uganda.

A was on Erasmus in Turku (Finland) for one year and I am still in love with this great country.

Particularly I love high mountains (both, in summer hiking or in winter skiing).

Music, Movies, and Books

I can enjoy wide variety of styles so its hard to pick one or to describe. My "metal" friends are surprised when I go to disco and my colleagues at work are usually surprised when they find out I played in a metal band. But world is too complex and beautiful to be narrow-minded.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only one? :) Currently it was probably to leave my job to travel. But I could also list jumping bungee and parachute, swimming in arctic ocean in December, hitch-hiking across Europe, sleeping in tent on the snow, running marathon and couple of half-marathons, walking 72kms in one day, passing the bar exam...
