About Me

Please, don't be mad, if I won't response. I'm getting tens to hundred requests and I'm not able to answer everything.

CURRENT MISSION

I'm studying life: trying to explore the world as much as possible to make me smarter, more flexible, more humble and sharing. Pushing the borders to get me out of the comfort zone. As an analyst trying to deal with information overload.

ABOUT ME

Working in Business Intelligence as a freelancer and studying Ph.D. in applied informatics. Most of the time solving data. Energetic, curious, enthusiastic person, quickly bored when nothing is happening, love traveling, talking to people, getting new information, but a perfectionist. When exploring cities prefer walking before using transport - best way how to explore and get familiar with the place. In nature mostly hiking peaks. I love to see the world from above, which is also the reason why I'm piloting gliders.

PHILOSOPHY

Minimalism is the foundation of health.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling in this way giving me a different perspective of countries I am visiting and it also gets me a little bit out of my comfort zone as I realize that more older I am, I am getting to be more introvert. But I love the surprises and unexpected. I almost everytime meet somebody interesting and I am grateful I did it again. People were usually very kind, helpful even as hosts or travel buddies. Some of them are now my very good friends and I feel we could be very close if we would live in the same part of the world.

Motto: Be curious, not judgmental.

Interests

My big passion are planes. I am a gliders pilot and hopefully, one day be also PPL pilot. I love the view of the world from above. So I also love mountains, hiking, skiing, and snowboarding.

To be fit I work out with kettlebells in accordance with the https://www.strongfirst.com/

On my travels I always try to get everything from every second - no matter if its small village, big city, wild nature or industry monument or plate of food. I always have my camera with me as I love photography (with reral camera, not phone): prizracnysvet.tumblr.com

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove in very old and fullfiled car of staff of beard-guy, who was moving to San Diego, from Portland to San Francisco through Crater Lake and Redwoods like a real hippie. I spent time in the Australian outback. I swam in hot spring river in the mountains under the midnight sun in Iceland.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can spend hours of talking about planes and piloting or data analysis and technologies.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of my singing :D
