I'm easygoing , but also very serious at the same time if the topic is serious. I try to be as open minded as possible and do my best to accept anything and anyone as it it, since I think everyone is doing everything as best as he/she can. I like to learn from anyone and hear their opinions and also why they think what they think. It helps me to view things from a broader perspective than previously. The more I learn the more I realize how little I know about anything. I try to apply Stoicism to my day to day life and I'm much happier since I'm doing this.

I'm happily married (so far without kids, but looking forward to them!), like to improve myself from day to day, appreciate my health and try to take care of myself as much as I can. I workout every morning (strictly without machines), then take a cold shower (throughout the year), then have my coffee with coconut oil and butter from grass-fed cows (I practice a high fat-low carbohydrate diet with intermittent fasting) . In the last 4 years I drank very little alcohol (1-2 glasses of wine circa every 1-2 months, very rarely something else).

I like to read, travel, I love cars, love nature (what an oxymoron after mentioning my passion for cars :) ), I like being efficient in anything I do. In the last few months I'm getting obsessed with being as ecological as possible, I'm doing my best to recycle anything I can, use as little plastic as possible, not buying anything I really cannot live without.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I consider the concept of traveling and meeting new people while still keeping your budget to be extremely powerful. By couchsurfing I can meet new people while when booking an accommodation I would not meet anyone and would be "alone". The more people I meet (opinions I hear) the better I can became. I think share economy is the future.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - I haven't read any books (except Harry Potter saga) until I was like 26 (yup, shame on me), then I became a bookworm. currently I'm devoting at least an hour a day to reading (most of it in the morning, the rest prior bed time).
I read mainly self development related books, and lately I'm getting fascinated by human psychology.

Some of the of best of them in my opinion (so far) are:
Ryan Holiday - The obstacle is the way
Jocko Willink - Extreme Ownership
Mark Manson - The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
Tim Ferris - Tools of Titans & 4 Hour Workweek
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi - Flow
haven't finished yet but will definitely be a must read in my repertoir:
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
Thinking, Fast and Slow - Daniel Kahneman

Music - Mostly electronic (Dubstep, Trap. and others I can't define, like Pretty Lights or Michal Menert), Jazz, Hip-Hop, but also like a lot RHCP, Metallica, world music. Ennio Morricone. Actually anything, but I prefer it to be played on a good audio system, so you can hear the depth of the music, instruments, vocals, etc.

Movies - Usually anything with a deeper meaning, mostly drama - The Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, Green Mile, 12 Angry Men, Pulp Fiction, Schindler's List, Goodfellas, Godfather trilogy, Bourne trilogy, . The movie has to have a message or something to teach me, that's why I almost never watch comedies.

I also like TV series like Game Of Thrones, The Wire, Narcos, Rick and Morty, and absolutely love documentaries about nature, mainly from BBC those narrated by Sir David Attenborough - this man changed how I view nature, I admire him.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A friend of mine after a long day in Vienna was traveling back home with his wife and family, and when almost home, they realized his wife's purse with all belongings were left at a gas station where they filled up an hour ago - it was around midnight. Her belongings contained her ID, passport, phone and documents from Slovak embassy regarding immigration which they finally obtained after months of bureaucracy. They did not know which gas station it was, just knew that somewhere close to Slovak-Austrian borders. I was notified about this problem and localized the gas station in question, send them the phone number so they can contact them. After confirming the purse is there I drove there (at that time I lived like 20 km from the gas station) in the middle of night to retrieve their belongings so they won't have to travel another hour back there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach/share what I've learned about health and workout and how changing how I think about food and health changed my whole life, and why I think everybody should give it a shot. How changing my life philosophy to Stoicism saved me tons of worrying, blaming anyone and anything but not me for how things are, and how it made me much happier :). And also everything I've learned about cars (how you can avoid expensive issues with your car but most importantly how to make driving safer).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good mood, memories, workout together, whatever we have in common (share passion) or have not (learn why the the thing you are not passionate about but I am are worth a try).
