CURRENT MISSION

Learning from others - by listening, reading, teaching.. (And meanwhile dreaming about next expedition to mountains and deserts!)

ABOUT ME

You will see..:) Undemanding as a guest and always a bit curious as a person, traveller, researcher or photographer. As a host: my wife and me we do live in a appartament with two free couches but there are also thee little boys at home so this place is not at all a quite one anymore!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Some hosting, some surfing, great people & experiences and even some new friends!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not too many but too good!

Interests

To get fascinated via travelling to different worlds: by listening and talking to other people, by switching off my mind when looking through my camera viewfinder, by studying and trying to understand other cultures, by being happy when listening or playing music or by observing the landscapes and nature I hike through(with special desparate passion for micro-worlds of dwarf plants and their habitats as cacti, succulents, rock-garden plants, carnivours, bonsai, or even just lichens..)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: true interpretation of folklore, still discovering new treasures in jazz or early music, and always will be excited by good pieces of hard rock (Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Justice for all, etc..)

Movies: I love Julio Medem, early Milos Forman (my favourite is "Hori ma panenko") and many others..

Books: I read mostly what I study; besides it was recently excelelent books by I. Bergman.. and my national pride makes me note at least my Czech favourites B.Hrabal or K.Capek

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Truck-driving as a hitch-hiker in US. Met always the right people. Have searched for tiny plants in deserts and mountains during botanic expeditions. Music improvisation with friends. Spent time around inspiring people.. and found my Petra:)

Teach, Learn, Share

Many practical thinks :)
I can teach how to play clarinet, how to grow cacti and succulents, and share my music - especially my folklore music collection..
And of course, we can talk about various "cultural issues" including music or the Czech culture in general if you are interested - and I would love to learn more about any aspects of the culture and worldviews of yours
