Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Hard to say, but I am about to finish Czech chapter of my life and move forward diving into unknown. New destination is South East Asia. And we'll see how it all is going to end up.
ABOUT ME
Currently, I work for a huge IBM center in Brno in quite a multinational collective. At some point of my life I wanted to learn more about computers and all that stuff and here I got a chance.
I used to be an EVS volunteer in children center here a couple of years before, but then a lot of things went crazy, the war started and my home city turned into a capital of self-proclaimed republic. I lived in squat for half-a-year and end-up coming back to Czech Republic, having rest here and getting some professional experience.
In my student years I was an activist organizing street actions, film societies and debate clubs, a traveler and a hitchhiker.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
There were different ones my life went through.
Firstly, it was volunteering in Roma community located at the opposite side of Ukraine, in Uzhgorod. Then, first student strikes, crazy hitchhiking trip to Turkey visiting Georgia on my way.
From the most recent it is living in a different country and in one abandoned building in the center of Kharkiv during the winter.
In 2014 I went with flatmates to volunteer in a refugee camp on Hungarian and Serbian border to see everything on my own eyes and give a hand.
