I was born in Žilina, Slovakia and moved to Vienna, Austria, when I was 16. I lived there for the next 16 years, with the exception of a half year exchange at a US university. After my studies I worked as an analyst and manager with different companies for seven years. I then decided to quit "the system", move to Berlin and do music. I finally landed in my hometown Žilina and today divide my time between music, freelancing and activism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

well, playing concerts both with my band and solo is probably the most amazing thing i've done. sometimes magic happens and you're flying on some magic wave, the music absorbs you and the audience. and sometimes it doesn't, but it's ok too, you are still learning ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

my home actually is a studio with drums, guitars and all kinds of gear. so if you're a musician, we can have some fun. the flip side is that if i'm doing rehearsals or recordings i will not be able to host you.
i try to live sustainability while not owning a car, not flying on airplanes and not owning a fridge, all of which has led to a quite relaxed lifestyle, in my opinion.
one of my other significant passions is long-distance running, preferably in woods or mountains.
i am also quite knowledgeable about nutrition.
apart from this i am active in the local community and support various environmental projects.

so... if you're into or interested in any of these things, i guess we'll have something to talk about.
and even if you're not, doesn't matter .. there's always something to learn from / about each other.

What I Can Share with Hosts

often i don't have much time to spend with you but i have a nice comfortable room for you to sleep.
i can also point you to the relevant sights, hikes, friendly places and culture spots in Žilina.

Countries I’ve Lived In
