About Me

I'm from the Czech Republic and currently travelling around New Zealand and trying to explore as local secrets as I can :)

Today it's three month when I arrived in the New Zealand and still didn't meet almost any Czechs which was one my dream! :) It's a perfect time of my life when I don't simply have any comfort zone.

I love solo-traveling. I was always that person who is trying to prepare my own stories and experiences instead of grouping with the majority.

At my 18 years old I have decided to say goodbye to my parents' home and start working on my own life. At that moment I moved to born city - Prague, where I was working more than 3 years in 3 companies before I started with travelling - two of them were small startup companies. Also, at this time I founded my own Czech distribution company which still works without my daily management during my travelling. I'm just occasionally paying bills :)

As the negative side is that during my travel I need to be time-to-time online because of the communication with my co-workers and occasionally have "additional shift" in Czech time which is actually 12 hours different than New Zealand's time :)

I like IT and startup scene because of their mentality, thinking of new ideas and focus on getting a goal which is familiar to me.

I'm an active member of Instagram and global NomadList community - these groups are amazing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love networking and meeting new friends during my traveling because each of couch surfer is able to give me much better local tips than Google :) or any application. It's the main reason why I love couch surfing. In the additional, I didn't have any bad experiences with any of couch surfer at all!

I always appreciate these contacts and hopefully will have an opportunity to see them again - at least in the Czech republic during their traveling.

On the other hand, I'm also always open to help anybody in cases where my experiences could be useful - these win-win situations belongs to my personal principles.

"The worst thing that can happen while traveling is not to meet the local people" - it could be a quote of couchsurfing.com :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
