ABOUT ME
I'm one of those... what do you call them... ah yes.. humans. Been in Prague for some time now. Am Czech but not Czech. Am English but not English. Am American but not American, though i sound like one. Guess I'm a bit of a mix salat really. Love movies, travel, books, books on travel, movies based on books on travel.
PHILOSOPHY
Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.
Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'll be giving up a futon and hopefully meeting interesting people and getting a place to sleep when i travel. I actually just got a new comfortable couch so no more futon back pain.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hosted a fair number of people but am looking to host more now but work has been picking up leaving me with little or no time to show people around during the day.

Teach, Learn, Share
My mother always told me, "DON'T DRINK, but if you have to drink, DON'T MIX YOUR DRINKS, if you have to mix your drinks, don't MIX YOUR MIX DRINKS and all will be fine." Am not a drinker anymore thanks to this, well not a drunk at least! Well maybe a little... but not really.
