About Me

The world is such an interesting place! And life is so short. So I'm very active, doing 23 things at the same time, working too hard and still the day is never long enough. I'm sociable and tolerant person. I like good parties, sharing stories, meaningfull discussions, playing board and party games, strumming guitars, going to concerts and 1000 other things.

I'm sport addict (currently judo and gym; in the past was bjj, muay thai, powerlifting; recently tried also surfing and windsurfing and want MOAR, as well as obstacle course runs)..... who spends lots of time in front of computer - that's my job. I'm not nerd ;)

PHILOSOPHY

The best quote on life philosophy I read in years was found on a coffea advertisement at Eindhoven airport: "The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit - Nelson Henderson"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the culture exchange and totaly diffrent vibe. And to meet new friends all over the world! When I travel I do it hitchhiking and CS way :) it's the best way. Some people took me home from the road and they didn't even hear about CS!

Interests

I am very curious and want to experience what life has to offer. I'm bad at passively consuming visual entertainment like films, tv or games :) don't ask me about the latest serial. I'm more of a creator. But books I read all the time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Survived chupacabra attack!!!!!! at night in a tent near expressway from Prague to Czeskie Budziejowice. I was with Martyna, we both imitated dead, and thanks to that we're still alive. It's whole story, I can tell you it in real life.
- Rented a scooter in Rishikesh/India - first time driving a scooter, first time on a left direction road, with crazy trafick, lots of people, bikes, bicycles, cows and monkeys. I didn't even have a driving license with me. I was with friend and we travelled 70km in low Himalayas area, by the Ganga river, in direction of its beginning, in perfect weather. It was a B-L-A-S-T. No cow got hurt.
- First time surfing on the Venice beach in Los Angeles. Perfect waves. OMG.
- Visited Palestine. It was just one day visit, but amazing, even if a bit frightening experience.
- Also, hitchhiking is generally awesome and amazing... you never know who you will meet. I was hitchhiking rather a lot, maybe around 240 rides so far. Found this way some really fantastic adventures. Really recommend you to try, if you haven't!

Uhm, it was supposed to be only one thing? Ups.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to play with you funny improv and party games! I can teach you basics of playing guitar. If you want to do windsurfing here in the bay, I'll go with you. And if you train bjj, judo or any other martial art, we can share techniques etc. and go together to my club.
