Overview
About Me
Graduating student of selective secondary school/highschool/gymnasium Brno-Řečkovice.
Storywriter in small indie game developer team Achoogames (currently working on Destination Dust - the project's been dead for a year, but now we are back!)
I am purely creative based... I couldn't live without art. I enjoy drawing, painting, designing games, designing fictional worlds and storywriting...
As an art consumer, I love playing videogames, watching films and shows, theater, performance, concerts and so long... I enjoy the inspiration I can absorb from these media and always look at them from the artistic perspective - trying to decode the creative process, ideas, stories and emotion the author tries to tell through the piece...
I am part of a leader team at children touristic group I've been a member of since I was like 7 years old... so my participation in leading was quite predictable.
It also brought me to LARPing since a lot of our leaders were participating on such events. It fascinated me so much that I joined a fun "historical" LARP fencing group and attended few events such as 5 day adventures in King's Landing on Game of Thrones LARP, or a time when I took a role of beastslayer apprentice in the fantasy world of Sleeping Forest made by people from the Brno LARP scene.
The best part about it is the DIY costume, foam weapon and props creation... it's so addictive! :D
Nowadays I try to recreate the atmosphere of LARP and try to transfer the epic stories for children on summer camps - so they can have a vivid memory of being heroes on history, fantasy and scifi themed adventures!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on a really low budget for my travels so I am trying to arrange accomodation for lowest cost possible... eventually free via couchsurfing!
I donť mind meeting strange people and sharing a few deep thoughts on life and I would love to learn something about the culture I am visiting from the local perspective.
I can't host anyone right now, but would like to try it in the future.
