About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning to teach. Teaching to learn.

ABOUT ME

I always find it difficult to describe myself. Just get to know me.
Just a few things:
listen > speak
pesimistic > optimistic (I'm working on that)
creative > structured

PHILOSOPHY

life changes - philosophies change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am interested in people. Idealistic ones, who are full of energy and try to stick close to their dreams and hopes and risking a fail. Realistic ones, who keep their dreams as dreams, and make the best out of lifes circumstances.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted some interesting people in Prague and surfed some couches in different countries.

Interests

meeting people with dreams, listening to various types of music, theatrical moments, playing soccer and support my local club, being surprised on concerts of bands with crazy names, which you never heard before, art that asks, society and inspiring cultures, freestyle cooking, and so much more...

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm listening to various types of music: elektronic, jazz, folk and psychedelic rock, world music, ...

It's very hard to find movies that even get better, if you see them twice, but movies I could watch over and over again are Gran Torino, Life of Brian, Bin-Jip, City of God and some movies by the german director Fatih Akin...

I read a lot, last favourites are Roberto Bolanos '2666', David Grossmans 'To the end of the land' and playwrites of the german author Kevin Rittberger.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
