About Me

Hello everybody!
I'm originally from Slovakia but since I left the High school in my hometown and went to Brno, CZ to study IT at Brno University of Technology, I'm living and working in CZ.
I'm not a typical IT guy when my virtual life has begun when I started developing a website for my Primary school at the age of 12. Web has influenced my future and through the years became my passion.
I would describe myself as an extrovert with occasional introvert moments :D
I love all kind of sports, especially when I have *board under my feet. Playing football (soccer) with my friends or colleagues and also member of the team in Amateur Floorball league.
Few months ago I felt in love with social dancing - swing dances, especially Lindy hop and we have such a great community in Brno, Swing Wings is like a family :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm passionate about traveling and sometimes I travel alone, so that's the point when I would like to take an advantage of Coach Surfing and get to know new people, cultures, interesting places and... also save some money :)
I would like also to offer hosting to other community members and get out of my comfort zone.
The reason why I know that it works? Fortunately, I had a chance to stay in many European countries for free because my friends lived there for a while or moved there and I really appreciate what they've offered to me. Otherwise I would probably not have seen such a beautiful places like Paris, London, Stockholm, travel across Estonia or explore snowy Norway.

Music, Movies, and Books

All kind of music... I'm listening to any kind of good music and I believe that good music could be found in every genre!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had quit the University in the last year because I've found my dream job. I started working at Kentico Software as a part-time employee during the last year of my Master degree studies and luckily... it was much better than I would ever expect.
I had an opportunity to travel to the USA on a business trip, so I decided to interrupt my studies and... never came back to school again.
Since then... my life has changed completely and I believe that I will never regret that decision. During those years at Kentico I've learned much more about the life and myself than I had at school. Kentico boosted my personal development in many ways and I'm very thankful for that. Everyday I'm surrounded with such an amazing group of people... yes, I'm talking about my colleagues. Follow your dreams, find the job that you love and you will never have to work for the rest of your life!
Yes, I love my job, my company, our culture... and if you will come to Brno, I will be happy to show you part of that :)
