CURRENT MISSION

For several years now I have been working as a freelancer and currently running an advisory website for Czechs and Slovaks in the UK and a nonprofit organization (https://easydirection.org/gb/) with a focus on financial literacy, travel and lifestyle.

"We help people with daily problems and increase their production potential for a more efficient life."

ABOUT ME

I am an independent young adventurer with a desire for traveling, specific sense of humor and a taste for overcoming challenges.

My aim is live free and experience life ...

Due to my independent work time I have the opportunity to travel and explore.
If I'm ,,home" I spend most of the time in the Czech Republic (Kolin).

I like to plan trips that are associated with some adventure. I do not like sheeting on the sea beach and doing nothing.

In the past, I have traveled almost the whole of Europe by hitchhiking, worked in Ireland, was in the Himalayas mountains, climbed in Czech and foreign mountains, had the opportunity to meet a lot of cool and interesting people as well as uninteresting and boring people.

I like people with whom we share life experiences and possibly gain new inspiration for new things.

That is roughly about the top of the iceberg, which I wrote about me. I am sociable and likes to spend time among people, so let´s get more information personally...

PHILOSOPHY

Try to enjoy my life as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfing was more or less used as a source of information about the area where I was going.

I have just few experience. Last few years was that person, who let my couch to other people. Spend one night in Amsterdam and Manchester in my friends house, but... it wasn´t on this ,,couchsurfing" base.

Later I spend another couple nights in Amsterdam, Brusel, Turkey and couple cities over the Europe.

Interests

The first place I would definitely ranked TRAVELING.
Around that revolves my entire life and work.

I also like sports, hiking in the mountains, listening to music, spending time with people, seeking inspiration, ...

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to music according to how I feel.
For TV or movies do not have much time. When I watch a movie, I want some relaxation, when is not necessary think about point ... I prefer comedy.

Regarding reading, I like adventure stories, sometimes I read a travelogue or a book with humorous themes.
In my youth I read almost all the books by Erich Maria Remarque.
