About Me

CURRENT MISSION

trying to enjoy myself as much as i can here in the usa

ABOUT ME

People say that I always smile. I guess that's true. Sometimes I just can't help it. It gets to the point where I am having a laughing fit and feel ashamed at the same time because I laugh at things other people may find boring.

Yes, I think I am weird. But honestly, I think I am weird in the best way possible. I am weird because I find everything great. And I don't have to try that hard to do so.

I enjoy meeting new people, I enjoy having deep conversations and I enjoy thinking.

My biggest hobby I think is literature. I love reading and writing and I hope one day I will manage to publish a book of poems.

I love my two bands, Sundays on Clarendon Road and Steakhouse Orchestra, you can google them up :).

PHILOSOPHY

I think this personal philosophy must be full of cliché
well i am afraid i'll add one too

I think it's important to fill up the day... i mean every day. So that you don't feel bad. Because of waisting your time. And that if youre feeling bad, depressed... you should always try helping yourself first at all... Its very easy to feel depressed, sad, its much more difficult to feel happy. But its worth it, hell it is:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just love the idea of meeting new people and having a place to stay in at the same time.

I remember staying in New York City at my friend's house. I never felt like a tourist. Every night we'd get the train from Union Square back to Bedford and it was so much better than taking pictures of Empire State Building and talking to my czech tourist friends. This is the right experience! Having to use a different language 24/7, not having a map nor a guide. Just a friend who wants to show you around. Okay, so I haven't seen the Statue of Liberty. But I saw my friend's way of life in the City and it was awesome.

And when I am back in Prague, this is exactly what I want to provide to my guests ;)

Interests

music (Bright Eyes, Mountain Goats, Arcade Fire, Underworld, Radiohead, Khonnor, Broken Social Scene, Deerhunter, Real Estate, Sawako, Dead Prez, Bonobo, Blockhead loads of artists)

literature (i'd love to be a writer...many many books that made me coming into this decision. I'd say literature is what interests me the most at this time)

films & theatre (with friends we have our own acting company, we did adaptation of Salinger's The Catcher In The Rye)

walking,

playing the saxophone...

the internet... that interests me a lot... web blogs of other people thousand kilometres far from me... photographs, strange projects, everything
