About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make new friends all over the world, get a PhD., become a good piano player, build an ecohouse

ABOUT ME

I am officially a student of philosophy and aesthetics and project assistant. Unofficially I am a nature liking person living in Brno, where I study. My favourite traveling device is bicycle, but I can also walk if necessary :) My favourite drinks are tea, whiskey and beer, separately. I am a vegetarian, with mild respect to life and unwillingness to inflict pain on others. I am curious about the world, its ups and downs and I would very much like to see a future with healthier planet. I am interested in how and what people think, compared to only what they say. That is why I will sometimes ask you a strange question, as if I didn't understand what you just said :)

PHILOSOPHY

open eyes, open mind
