About Me

What do you need to know about me? :)
Well I am person who gets excited about everything pretty easily, but than it is hard to maintain all the things after starting with them :). People have problems with getting used to my lifestyle. I really want to enjoy and try all the things that life offers me, so one day I can come to you and tell you that I started to learn french, the next day I come and tell you that I started with volunteering in student café and I made my first café latte and the next day that I am going to cross country ski for three days on some plateau in Norway :D. So people often don´t understand where I have time for these activities and they always don´t understand why I am doing these things :) :D. Like why do you volunteer in café if you don´t get money from it?
So I am just trying to live my life as I like it but yes, I have to admit that sometimes I overdo it and than I am struggelling because I don´t have enough time for the all activities I signed up and I am starting to be in a big hurry, little bit depressed and nervous :).
But besides these moments I am cheerful and always smiling person :D, maybe little bit stubborn :) :D. And if you want to slow me down, you have to do it in a really nice way :D

Carpe diem. (Horatius)

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree. (Martin Luther)

Interests

Dancing
I used to do belly dancing for 4 years (but I am sure that I will get back to it :). Now I am interested in latin dances and in these days I am learning zouk and salsa ... I love all kind of dances :).

Sports
I like playing tennis, basketball, badminton... I like cycling, skiing, cross-country skiing, skating, running (well I am trying to like it :D) also I love kayaking (I learned it during the last holiday and it was awesome:)). Moreover I like exercising in the gym and I used to do crossfit when I was in the Czech Republic (in Norway it is pretty expensive -_-)

Cooking
Yay :D, when I have time I love cooking and trying to make new and exotic meals. Besides cooking I like baking, which is maybe more interesting than cooking. I remember the time when I made suflé... my first chocolate suflé. Well unfortunately it didn´t go so well as I hoped :D, but still it was tasty. The next goal are french macarons!

Learning
I like learning (especially foreign languages) but I really like to extend my general knowledge about everything. If you are from IT, philosophy, law, geology, technical sphere... I am interested (just the medicine is little bit out :)). Many people think that is weird because I listen to them when they talk about something from their field of interest and they think that I listen just because I want to be polite or something like that... but come on, I am really interested :D.
Especially in learning languages. I tried to learn several languages, so I know some basics from spanish, french, japanese, russian, hungarian ... and it helps me a lot to learn some language properly. I can speak czech, english, norwegian on quite high level... I can speak german if I refresh it (it mixes with the norwegian damn :/). And now I am thinkng which language I would like to try next... :D maybe chinese? :D

Travelling and exploring
Well travelling is the most exciting and awesome thing in my life. I really enjoy travelling everywhere. I would love to visit south America, Asia (Japan, China, Phillipenes, India...) ... well all the continents and countries :). Now I am little bit aiming on Israeli and New Zealand. Why? Why not :), so different cultures I want to get to know.
The most favourite part of travelling is the moment when you get lost or you are somewhere, where you don´t know anyone or somewhere in the unusual place which you are not used to... This is the time I really enjoy, because it is adventourous and the adrenaline rises.:)
