About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm trying to learn as much as possible from others at all times. I think most of the problems between people and even nations come from wrong information and bad communication so the more I know and the more honest I am, the less problems I cause. :)

ABOUT ME

What others say about me:

"Sociable, analytical, stubborn, funny, ambitious." - M.P.

"Pavel is easy-going, warm, open and fun guy, always positive and
always smiling, you'll never be bored. He's got an open mind, talent
to listen and is curious about almost anything, so you can talk to him
about anything from youtube videos to life philosophy. :) Gotta love
his attitude towards life - adventurous, positive, believing in good
(in people) and actually seeing it." - Z.K.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Initially I started with Couchsurfing out of pure curiosity but I soon realized that as a host - CS brings travelling to me even when I stay at home. And as a guest - meeting locals, seeing and living in different families, cultures and lifestyles is actually the most interesting and priceless experience on travelling.

Another important factor is that it's so nice to see that people from the opposite side of the world are just as same in the heart as your friends, neighbours, colleagues - we're all the same people after all.

Interests

Computer and mobile programming - this is also what I do for living
Math - learning and teaching
Dancing - I'm not good in dancing but I love it
Travelling - the further the better
People - talking with strangers, doing acts of kindness, discussing answers to the question of life, universe and everything
Cats - I have two at home and I just love cats
Productivity & Procrastination - the eternal fight
Positive psychology - how to be optimistic, enjoy life and share happiness
...and many more

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Electronic music, especially drum & bass but I like music in general, nothing offends me.

Books: Mostly fantasy & sci-fi: A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones), Harry Potter, Ender's Game, The Day of the Triffids, Piers Anthony and all his work, Necroscope, The Witcher and others...

Movies: I'm a big movie & series fan. I've seen a lot, and I like everything, especially movies that don't leave your mind easily once you've seen them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen life and I've seen death. I haven't produced either.

Teach, Learn, Share

I never stop learning. In fact, I think constant learning is one of the points of life. I can try to teach you whatever I can do and you show interest in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Optimism, smile, but most of all I love to give life advices that nobody asked for. :)
