About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore and being amazed

ABOUT ME

I was born in calm city of Hradec Kralove called also "Sallon of the republic". Before school (until I was 6yrso) I lived on tiny village with aprox 30-40 people and than I finished my growing up mostly in Hradec Kr. I studied business secondary school, gained degree bachelor degree in economics in Hradec Kr., than master in the same field on BUT Brno. When finishing second uni. I realized, that I have no choice than to became a turning wheel in the machinery of our corupted system I studdied about so many years. So I started to look for something useful I can do and end up on volunteering. Problem is that it will not feed me in the future, so now I am still volunteering, gaining new experiences, having ideas, meeting people and inventing what I can do to survive and still be useful, help where it is needed and develop myself further ... Well and finally I found a senseful topic for research so I am tackling with the complementary currency and "time banking" issues on my PhD. studies on University of Hradec Kralove, Czech Rep.

PHILOSOPHY

In this world sometimes I feel like maybe felt in his age prehistorical hunter who loved animals, but must kill them to survive.

I really dont like contemporary system and pointles hollow values it is based on, but I need to survive in this world.

Therefore I am all the time looking for new ways how to do something usefull (or at least not useless), survive and have fun on the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Actually I when I lived with Michal in Russia he invited almost every week a couchsurfer so I had no need to invite more :-) But I met a lot of people on hosting side like that. I was not surfing much yet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have no cousurfing experience, in the sense that I would surfed a couch. But I have met a lot of couchsurfers on my travels and here in our flat in Nizhniy Novgorod I live with couchsurfers quite often, because my friend Michal Veselsky all the time invites some :-)

Interests

Motorbikes - I actually travelled to Greece on my ERASMUS on motorbike and for example to workcamp in Croatia.
Music - all the music which has idea and it is not simple, prefferably Rock, Jazz and Classical
Bass guitar - I am crappy player, but I like it (web of our "band" we are just duo :-) www.bandzone.cz/blumy

Traveling and meeting new people - is my main interest along with contstant attempts to develop myself to be better person (sometimes even sucessfully)

Music, Movies, and Books

About music I already wrote earlier, Movies I watch rarely, but I like them in general. For relax I like sci-fi and fantasy and for mental enrichment some good movies of any genre.
Books I read and I have same attitude as with films. Sci-fi for relax and any quality book (especially classical authors) for moving my mind forward.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I see so many amazing things all around me not only everytime I travel. Anyway I am kind of addicted to traveling. I also need to stay longer in some country to start to feel the spirit, because of it, many of my trips were for several months.
