About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Well, I haven't spent much time at home during last year. I worked in a summer camp in the USA last summer, then took a 7-month internship in London and now I'm back in the same camp, working my ass off... :D Also, same as last year, beginning September I am going to travel together with my girlfriend Eliska Rundusova. :) A year ago, we explored beauties of the East Coast, going from New York through Philly, D.C. and finishing on Key West. This time we're west bound, heading to California, where we'll try to survive a fortnight. Spending a few days in San Francisco, we'll move to LA, rent a car there and do kinda a road trip through the Death Valley and Vegas to Grand Canyon and back. We'll be glad and happy for every soul that could help us and offer us a place to stay, whether just for one night or more and whether on the bed or on the floor. :)

ABOUT ME

I am a guy from a little town, who is eager to try living in as many countries as possible. Basically, to see things from different culture's views is the most interesting thing on traveling in general for me. Of course sometimes that meaning isn't so deep - everybody wants to have some fun, meet new interesting people and broaden his/hers horizons by a real experience. :)

Interests

I play football (British English :)) ) almost since I was borned, but believe it or not, I have other interests too. :D Riding a mountain bike, watching movies, reading books, travelling, learning foreign languages and most recentely also an archery and playing chess... My other passion is a sea (though we don't have one in Czech Republic, unfortunately) which is kinda an epitom of pure wilderness and freedom for me. I am an active person in general, but sometimes even I enjoy quiet moments of doing nothing and just sprawling on a sofa... :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been lucky enough to see El Clásico at the Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona. And FC Barcelona won!! That really gave me goose bumps... :))

Teach, Learn, Share

Always a good mood and friendly atmosphere, sometimes I can cook a meal (don't know if tasty :D ) and never any problems. :)
