About Me

Just finished a degree in architecture and construction at CTU in Prague. One of three brothers (yes, my mum wanted a girl, but here we are :D). Love drawing, backpacking, hiking and walking in the nature, mountains, dicovering new places.
Once a leader of boy children group at the largest czech scout organization.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for the best way to meet new people, get to know different cities and to experience another culture. Many say contact's around the world are very important thing. Who knows? Maybe we will become bussines partners or travel buddies. Or friends and I will be glad to welcome you in my home next time :)

Interests

I looove mountains and backpacking, hiking. Those views! Sunset's! Sunrises! I just can't get enough of it...

I studied architecture and construction and find it both very fun and difficult. I love to observe details and atmosphere of a place, try to understand how a city works, how people live there outside and inside. Exploring the hidden places and narrow streets is something I could do every day.

I'm really into drawing. It has always entertained me, we had been drawing together with my brother in childhood. Now I focus mostly on drawing portraits with pencil or archi sketches. Maybe one day I would like to sell some of my work. One day.

I've been playing the guitar since I was 16. Tried to play in a band but with the university studies I didn't have much time for that.

For about 8 years I've been attending a czech scout - Junák - český skaut, where I got very good friends. Later, I became a leader together with them to a group of young children and led them all thay way to them becoming leaders same as me. Really proud of that.
