About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm a student of Tibetan studies at Charles University in Prague. Also a jazz dancer & a librarian. Huge dub soundsystem fan. Currently teaching Tibetan language, making websites and many, many other things... #busyallthetime

My mission? Become a scholar, teach, write and travel a lot.

ABOUT ME

Besides what was mentioned above, I'm a technological enthusiast, amateur photographer and musician. And I used to work in a tearoom (we also had a tibetan bistro + ice tea bar). Ahh, those were nice times... 😉 We can share a cup of nice tea!

I LOVE to chill with my friends, sometimes even alone. My other interests are religion, philosophy, languages, technology, life-hacking, time management etc. So that's my short bio. Accuracy and perfectionism are my biggest advantages and weaknesses I think.

PHILOSOPHY

Live long and prosper! Think first and look around yourself all the time so you won't be an as*hole.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've hitchhiked to Croatia with 50 kg backpack for a Goulash Disko Festival just to run a small beach ice tea bar there.

What about some food and music. Hm? Share a story or two?
