Hi,
as a teenager at the times prior to Internet and cell phones, I travelled a lot around Europe, mostly hitch-hiking. Now as I grew to have my own family, I would like to provide them with a similar (but a little safer) experience. I work as a business director in one of the biggest audiobook publishing companies in Czech republic. I organize summer camps for kids (incl. mine), play in an electronic live dub music band and serve as an elder in a local protestant church where I also accompany the services on piano and harmonium.

I cannot host any guests now, unfortunately, as we live in a small appartment and have no spare room (only in summer when the kids are away at their grandmother´s but we are travelling August 15-29), but I would love to meet up and perhaps show visitors around Prague when I am back from holiday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new and inspirational people, would love our daughters to socialize in English and meet foreign friends. Life can be sometimes a little tiresome, when you work hard nonstop, any deviation from the stereotype is welcome!

Music, Movies, and Books

oh, there be lots of stuff!

I love music of all kinds: classics, jazz, electronic, folklor and world music, groovy.

I love reading books, namely fantasy and fiction or thought inspiring theological, psychological or historical non-fiction.

I love movies by these directors: Terry Gilliam, Stanley Kubrick, Milos Forman, Tim Burton, Tomm Moore, Guillermo del Toro, Chris Nolan and others

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played with a professional reggae band with a couple Africans at times and once played a whole concert with a percussionist from Youssou N'Dour at an African festival in Germany (as just one of the only 5 non-Africans)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning funny sentences in distant languages. I can show people around Prague, recommend beautiful places and cheap pubs with excellent local beer. I can help find exceptional musical experience. I can recommend place outside of Prague to visit while travelling around the Central Europe.

What I Can Share with Hosts

lively conversations, warm friendships, enthusiasm from meeting new people, life experience, music I love, passion of playing board games
