About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Never stop learning.

ABOUT ME

Originally from the Czech Republic, I studied for some time in the US and in Chile, but most of my undergraduate studies I did in Scotland where I graduated from the University of Stirling in 2015. Now I am living in Fairbanks, Alaska with my wife who is pursuing an MS in biology here. I am working on my Master's On-line in Global Technology and Development through Arizona State University.

I am a jack of all trades, master of none. My interests include anything and everything from music and art, to philosophy, politics, science and technology, nature and the environment, cooking, baking, travelling of course, and many many others.

"As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.” - Herman Melville

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of my experience is hosting, but I've met many fantastic people through surfing as well.
