Hi! My name is Petr Oliver. I am 29 years old, currently working as a Sales Director in an educational company, which stands for example by a bestselling book called The End Of Procrastination. I am also a Co-Founder of the project called X-Challenge, where we organize big adventurous events for young people, as well as we programmed an app called X-Challenge, where you can do challenges to push your comfort zone daily.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that while discovering new places in the world and meeting new people, we always get to know a little bit of ourselves as well. And that is something I would be thrilled to help you guys with. So let me know if you need to stay in Prague!

Interests

I love honest, real, kind and courageous people, and that is also the way I want to spend my lifelike. I enjoy meeting new people. Some of my interests are reading books, playing music (though I am not good at it at all :D), doing adrenalin activities, public speaking, writing..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went from Prague to Venice (Italy) with no money. With my friend Tomas, we left all our money at home in Prague, and we did (almost) everything we could to survive and to get to our final destination in Venice (and back as well). We were hitchhiking, busking, sleeping at places of people we`ve met never before. We were also scrounging to make some money for living. It took six days to get from Prague to Italy and to get back. It was the most enriching activity I have ever experienced.

After that, we participated in an adventurous race called LowCost Race, where you have ten days to travel as many countries as possible, and also do some challenges like take a photo with the president of a country, sleep at a strangers place, hitchhike an aeroplane etc. And for that, you have only 100 Euros altogether, if you spend more, you are disqualified. We happened to be 2nd of more than 200 teams.

After this experience, I decided to team up with the organization of the Race, and we build a whole new project called X-Challenge. Every step makes a clear sense, after all.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could share wonderful Prague spots to chill, grab some beer, take a walk, etc.
