Overview
About Me
I am an undergraduate student at the Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Science. My specialization is geology, mainly focusing on earthquake seismology in West Bohemia and Iceland.
My life philosophy is based on the Student's Creed: Everything is due, nothing is submitted.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have applied for Master of Science degree in Geophysics at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. Unfortunately, it's still in progress.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share my knowledge about Earth's history for past 2 billions year. Moreover, I can determine almost every type of rock or mineral and talk about climatic changes which led to extinctions in history and compare them with recent situation.
Additionally, I know few Inuit words - nunatak and Icelandic words like eyja, or fjall or jokull.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share the famous Czech spirit. I always take at least the tiniest bit of it. I helped me to thaw in icy plains of Iceland and to get up on my feet in green mountains of Romania and Montenegro, when I was completely exhausted. It also kept healthy my stomach during an expedition in Israel and cleaned my wounds in thorny mountains of Greece.
I am really glad that I could always keep my spirit in my heart and offer it to other people.
