About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the beautiful natural wonders of this world!

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm a traveler, I like to discover new places, meet people, experience a new adventure all the time. Sometimes I get these crazy ideas like: I wanna, I need to climb this tree, or I wanna go to Everest Base Camp, so I get up and do exactly that.
Sometimes I worry too much about stuff, sometimes I rush too quickly through a place instead of just taking it easy and enjoying the moment for longer, which I regret after :)

PHILOSOPHY

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.
... you can learn so much from people from other cultures. Most of all you learn to be more tolerant to different points of view. When you change that you take some much inspiration from others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Most of the time I find myself out there somewhere, exploring. But I did host several friends of mine, some of them I met through Couchsurfing. One very unique couchsurfer literally walked to my parent's place in the Czech countryside. He had a very interesting story and one daring dream, to walk the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My travels in Canada. I met very nice people who were so kind to host me and showed me around. Through Couchsurfing you get to see and experience more of the place and people and the culture than any ordinary tourist could ever dream of.
But through Couchsurfing I also met many friends on places I traveled to. It's a cool website that connects all good-hearted backpackers. Sometimes even a good advice from the local can be precious.

Interests

Traveling - seeing the beauty of nature & meeting all the good people in the world.
I look for places to climb and people to climb with wherever I go. I like sharing tips and techniques with other climbers.
Snowboarding, hiking in the mountains (even those very high ones) :), horse riding, reading and writing, music.
