Overview
About Me
I currently graduated from my high school and I'm heading to UK to study Music! I sing in two bands and now I finally started focusing more on my own composing, creating my personal style.
I enjoy traveling and getting to know local people, learning something about their culture, language and so on) I'm into any fun really and like to have a couple of beers or glasses of wine :)
Like to read, visit cinemas (in Prague we have those huge cinemas like CinemaCity etc. and private small cinemas where artistic, less commercial films are being shown - those I love to visit!) and various exhibitions :)
If you want to know more, just write me a message and let's meet up)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
What is really special about this is the opportunity to meet new people from various countries and see their cities with the eyes of a local!
I started meeting people at CS events and completely fell for it! You are so nice, generally positive and so much fun to be around guys!)
Can't wait to meet more of you!
Interests
- Singing on stage, during rehearsal, in the shower - love it!
- Reading books focused on philosophy, or just totally experimental stuff like L'Écume des jours = Froth on the Daydream by Boris Vian!
- I'm looking forward to fulfilling my dream to travel around Southeast Asia!
- Listening to music during my walks home (I live 20 minutes from the closest tram station :D), when lying in bed, when drinking coffee in the morning (I love to start my morning either with Charles Mingus or Stu Larsen - a weird couple I know, but sometimes you need jazz, whereas the other days are more countrylike :D)
- Languages - love to learn new things, sentences or even words like fuck or beet (yeah, it actually happened to me in Greece when a girl kept telling me I was red like παντζάρι [pantzari] and we eventually had to visit her fridge, so she could show me what she meant)! :D
- I eat in that style like: Eat whatever you want and if anyone tries to lecture you about your weight, EAT THEM TOO! no, really, I don't overeat that often and I try to eat healthy (I TRY!)
- Yoga calms me down perfectly, puts me in balance
- Meeting people really recharges me!
- I love to combine meeting new people with a glass of beer or wine! I'm a musician so alcohol simply belongs to who I am :D
- I'm a history fan, so if you start telling me anything interesting from the past I'm all yours (and I don't mean telling me what happened to you yesterday, even though that interests me too, don't worry :D)
- Philosophy: Fromm, Foucault, ...
- Literature: I think it's always more interesting to read a book when you know something about the author and his background and background of the time generally - it feels like suddenly a new dimension is added to the story!
- Songwriting: When I write my songs, that's the time when I feel like I started working really. I forget about the time completely. I work a lot on my lyrics as I am really trying to tell people something. Not only that I met a guy who broke my heart yesterday, but to send a real message that matters, inspires or whatever! I think there's enough of crap in music industry already so I want to avoid contributing!
