Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travelling is not about visiting as many countries as it gets. It is about coming back to the ones you loved most.
ABOUT ME
I am openminded, easygoing, funloving, cheerful and respectful guy, a very active individual with numerous interests. I am happy with my life and I gratefully enjoy every single day on this planet.
I love fun, both making fun and even being made fun of does not pose a problem for me. I am ever-laughing person. I like to laugh and I often laugh without any obvious reason. It is not just me who thinks I am always in a good mood. I tend to do crazy things without any incentives. I am a bit of dreamer and I often end up deeply thinking about whatsoever with no conclusion :) But I am a realist and optimist who likes to talk as well as listen. I am Czech, ie. I like to chat over a pint of chilled beer in a cosy pub/bar. This is actually our national sport. Though, I am very adaptable and tolerant, two qualities every traveller must have.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is about meeting and beating challenges. They are the driving forces that push one forward. There are no achievements one is not capable of achieving. Keep on trying and working hard...
Interests
All kinds of sporting activities - football, squash, tennis, table tennis, biking, hiking and not to forget foosball (table soccer). I am devote foosball player, possessing a table at home (not in the CS flat unfortunately). Other hobbies include history, geography, reading, music, partying, beer drinking and, pointless to say, travelling :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I wouldn´t call it an amazing thing but certainly the strongest travel experience and emotion was the trip to the Aral Sea in Uzbekistan, once the 4th largest lake in the world deliberately dried out by central decision of Soviet government for the sake of economic growth. When I got there after driving 150 km on what used to be the sea´s bottom, I realized how stupid the mankind can be. It was not only emotionally moving, sad, cruel, it was completely bizarre to acknowledge that this was caused by us. I felt somewhat ashamed of the entire human race and I could not help myself repeating "Sorry, nature!"
To remain positive, I´ve seen sunrise in Mt. Bromo in Indonesia, truly fascinating spectacle.
