About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finish my studies and travel around the world, especially to Africa

ABOUT ME

Well, I like travelling, meeting new people, getting know new different cultures.
I am quite calm traveller who enjoy nature the most, however city life is not problem at all either.

As I study geography, travelling is in fact "way to learn";-)

I find true proverb: "Who once breathed the air of Africa, will ever return there"

I don't smoke.

By the way - you can find me on the internet either as "Darklord" (usually Czech sites, internationally it is too common to get such nick) or "pyskor". I can explain you the origin of both if we meet in person.

PHILOSOPHY

Man regrets most the things which they haven't done...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My first experience with such travelling was back in January 2010 through my friend which used hospitalityclub. I found really nice to have local person to talk with and share their ideas and habits. Later another my friend invited me to CS, so here I am;-)
However, as a student living in student dormitory I have usually difficulties to provide a couch, since it can be even prohibited in some dorms in Prague:-//

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Till now, I have a little experience with competing hospitalityclub.org (my profil: http://secure.hospitalityclub.org/hc/travel.php?cid=pyskor - you need to be logged in to see references) and while studying in Amsterdam for one year, I hosted my friends quite often - although it wasn't through CS, the idea was the same.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling around Ethiopia, 15 summer scout camps (as a boy and later as a guide) and I am active in student organization at my university.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I can teach Czech, if you are mad enough to want to learn such difficult (though beautiful) language. However, I am not so good in language, so it can be challenge to try to teach me your language.
On the other hand, I am good in spacial imagination, so one map is enough for me and I will have no problem with getting around, finding the way and so on;-)

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Egypt, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Kenya, Montenegro, Namibia, Poland, Russian Federation, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sudan, Switzerland, Tanzania, Tunisia, United Kingdom
