CURRENT MISSION: inspire and be inspired, go beyond the horizon

ABOUT ME: friendly, curious, communicative, honest musician who is always trying to see the soul of the place he's visiting, not only it's face. And the same goes for meeting people.

PHILOSOPHY:

"The hope is not a belief that something will end up well, it is a confidence that something is meaningful, no matter what the outcome will be." Václav Havel

"It is not the man who has little, but the one who desires more, that is poor." Seneca, Epikuros

"There are no borders, just horizons" Terence Blanchard

My working mission is to spread the concept of zero waste distribution in the Czech. Rep. You can read or listen here about our project here : http://www.radio.cz/en/section/marketplace/prague-opens-first-package-free-shop and here: http://zerowaste.bezobalu.org/?lang=en
