About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being who I am without taking life too seriously, but making my dream to become truth.

ABOUT ME

I am calm, easy going, open minded, and apparently a bit mysterious man:) I know I have a big heart that I'm aware of and that I'm expressing compassion and love through it! It would be unfair if I keep it all to myself, so I spread it everywhere I go:) I like meeting diferent people from different countries, and always learning new things. Sharing, serving, and helping makes me smile and happy:) About 15 years ago I made a big decision of my life, and started traveling, working, and living in different countries of the world. By being adventurous I learned independence, and went through lots of different life challenges that made me who I am. I enjoy time on my own same as connecting with with other souls.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't stop believing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen the sunrise from the Haleakala Volkano in Hawaii and I have dived with a shark! I also ate a big tarantula in Cambodia! Met a bear while having breakfast by my tent in Alaska! Hitch hiked from Alaska to Mexico. Found the magic bus from Into the Wild movie in Alaska! Silent meditation in solitude for 59 days.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach photography, cooking, snowboarding, juggling, playing didgeridoo, czech language, a bit of yoga and meditation.
I would like to learn more Japanese, Spanish and about native American culture. Also, about agriculture and permaculture. How to build a tree house and live more connected with the nature by sustainable living. I would also like to learn how to play my Japanese shakuhachi.
