Living a simple life in the English coutryside...

“There is no spoon.” We define our own reality – we are limited only by our own thoughts. Define your own reality and sure enough it will be yours. We are brainwashed by society. Your obedience is their power. Disobey.

Nineteen years young, was due to go to Edinburgh to do my degree but decided to have some time out first to grow a little - but am probably tall enough already (5' 11.5"). After deciding universities would be too restraining for me went travelling, foolishly thinking it would solve all my problems. Left Prague, hitchhiked to Amsterdam in a week, took a bus to the UK and stayed there since, nine months now – best thing that has ever happened to me.

Travelling itself serves no purpose, if you only travel for fun, to have more experiences, look at me, I’ve dine this, I’ve done that…However, if you have a purpose, a mission, a reason – get out there and tell the world!

Travelling sustainably – walking, cycling, hitching, trains/buses/public transport, boats – no flying

Hope the level of my sarcasm is higher than my blood cholesterol.

Changed lifestyle, started taking care of myself and nature, learned some skills they never taught me in school - about food and nutrition (haven’t had a food poisoning yet so maybe my food is edible ha ha), natural products, green building, cidermaking (and ciderdrinking of course), wood, society, love, sustainability, permaculture, poo (man, it’s some amazing stuff!), but mostly about myself, my mind, reality, arrogance, ego, jealousy, forgiveness, love, emotions, impermanence and fragility of human beings

I am wrong, I am flawed, and I am not perfect – none of us are and we all need help. Be the change, start with yourself and others will follow.

Shy at first and large ego afterwards - weird combination i know – but if you can get me into a conversation we might not sleep for the whole night…do you know how to stop me from drowning? Take your foot off my head

Currently into photography. Helps me to slow down and see the world differently. What is real? Whatever you want to be real. Mostly using manual legacy lenses. Means that most of my pictures are out of focus, but hey, a good picture doesn’t necessarily mean a sharp picture! Also no post-processing

Picked up a uke recently and having loads of fun - any lessons appreciated!

Please when sending a message quote "Czech me out" so it's obvious you have read the profile - time is precious and not to be wasted

Living without money – the one thing everyone is so focused on. You would be amazed what you can get for free – am living better than ever before in my life yet not earning nor spending any of my money. Everything comes at its cost though

Body Beautiful. Starting a new photography project, showing how societal standards of beauty are twisted, how it clothes us, makes us feel ashamed of our bodies. Oh my god, you have a BODY! How gross! We all have one – different shapes, sizes, colours. And they will never be perfect. But they are all beautiful. And you can be part of this project, you can be in from the beginning, you can make a difference and have a purpose greater than you and me – just drop me a message

Happy to just meet and chat, unfortunately there is no couchsurfing app for windows phone (yes, I do use that brick phone and I love it) yet so just send me a message to meet up!

I most sincerely apologise for any misunderstandings emergent from the diversity of our mother tongues. I myself still struggle with the endeavour of mastering the English language, ergo, I hope I have articulated myself in a proper manner. Sometimes I use fancy looking words I don’t really understand because I like how it sounds more photosynthesis.

Focus on the Journey, not the Destination. Life is a Journey.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I believe that people need to be trusted if we want to make this world a better place. Be the change. Also, a place from a local's point of view is always a better experience than if you are just a tourist. I'm crap at being a tourist.

Talking to people is very important – everyone is entitled to have their opinion, have discussions rather than arguments, forgiveness rather than judgements, piece, not war

Also makes me step out of my comfort introvert zone

Musica, film e libri

Music has been with humans even before we learned to speak. Lyrics are often more important. People are seeking constant stimulation in music without understanding it. Can do a bit of throat singing. Open to new things, but The Velvet Underground, David Bowie or Pink Floyd will always have a place in my heart as I grew up on that stuff.

Awesome movies are The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Pirate Radio, Inglourious Basterds, anything by Monty Python, Frank, Into the Wild, Captain Fantastic, Rock'n'Rolla and I could go on and on...

Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Illusions, The Tao of Pooh, Jack Kerouac

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Packed a backpack and went to see the world, if that counts…

Also walked part of the West Highland Way in Scotland for a week (taking it slowly) without money and a proper tent (met a few Bothys and some lovely people on the way)

Insegna, impara, condividi

some cooking, a bit of photography, opinions, cidermaking, wood chopping, pheasant plucking, throat singing, my random thoughts, silence (sometimes awkward but mostly comfortable)...

ukulele lessons required (even if you're a guitar player you probably know more than me!)

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

A lot of my very little knowledge – about life, universe and everything

Cidermaking (and Perrymaking!) skills (no chemicals or sulphites involved!!) and a bit about budgrafting

Interested to learn about manual lenses on digital cameras? We could get stuck talking for hours there...

Some of my cooking skills if interested – no recipes, using up what’s leftover, simple and healthy cooking (used to cooking meals on a wood-burning stove, can do vegetarian/vegan…). Am a good cook but improving... no one has died yet.

Also can take pictures of you - or for you – need to sell anything? Or just want a nice picture of your dog? Sure thing!

Me if you’re brave enough…
