About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Maybe just to be happy with decisions I make would be enough :)

ABOUT ME

I live in a house with my girlfriend Blanka, our eighteen-year old daughter Martina, a dog (Tinky) and a cat (Kiki) in Bohumin. I am also an active member of Hospitality Club. Through CS and HC we've met a lot of interesting people, either as their guests or hosts.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live...
Oscar Wilde: Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I found out about CS through talking with people who like travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've hosted some people from CS as well as HC. Through hosting we've met many interesting people, heard a lot of stories, got to know different cultures...

Interests

I like (or at least I've tried) almost all kinds of sport like MTB, volleyball, badminton, snowboarding, skiing, paragliding. I like playing the guitar, volunteer dog walking, reading, long talks with interesting people, looking for soulmates, photography, travelling... And learning new things, of course. Our daughter Martina, who has her own profile here at CS https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/martina-tomasova, has similar interests, she is quite musical (plays the guitar and piano, goes to the theater). My girlfriend Blanka works as a teacher too, so you can imagine what we often talk about in the evenings :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess I haven't done anything so special, just trying to live in peace and harmony and as Dalai Lama said: “If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.”

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some guitar songs, also have skills for massage therapy

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share stories, time, ideas, dreams... And from material stuff - I can get enough bikes for about 5 people so it is easier to get round and I can offer all kinds of sport equipment...
