ABOUT ME

My life is changing totally every year. I used to be a photographer once (though I still pretty fond of photography, it stopped to be a thing that feed me). What I really can't live without is a good laugh, good people around and traveling. For now on, after few years of travelling i set my feet in comfortable, lively, vibing with history town called Prague. Decision to come here was pursuing the child's dream to shoot films. Never saw myself as a thoughtful director, struggling throught the quite horrifying (but if you can make it is quite enjoyable) path of film making, but more as a person who can help put the ideas on the paper and then on the big screen. So that's how my eye gets on the camera viewfinder almost everyday, spending nights with my fellow directors and writing, drawing, writing again, preparing, carrying heavy boxes and in the end enjoying the picture which I shot on the bigger screen possible

PHILOSOPHY

Yeah, it's simple. Make every day and every minute of your life interesting and nobody around me must not feel bad of mine actions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was going to the hitching trip all the way down from back home to China and SEA. So me & my friend decide to try CS. It works, and works well!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS gave me the great opportunity to meet so a lot of amazing people from all the world. Love it!

Interests

Music (both to listen and to play, especially to hit a drum-kit), travelling, writing, snowboard (Kamchatka's heliboarding is best!), streetboard, longboard, bmx-dirtjumping, cross-enduro and naked motorbikes, ice-hockey (go Omsk!), photography, cooking breakfasts, mornings, good books, book illustrations, drawing and painting (suck at this) T-shirts, rubber ducks, sugar cane juice (going crazy about this), tasty food, chilling at the hammock or river, hitch-hiking, good and bad alcohol (what can be better than to drink a good port with a friend on a seaside, near the bonfire, and then go to sleep in yours tents) meet different people from all over the world. Everything is interesting!
