A 29y.o. guy from Czechia, transitionally based in Prague. Studied product design on an art university, currently working as a graphic and UI designer/ mural artist (I’m an independent freelancer) travelling with my laptop, working remotely.

I would say I’m quite open minded and curious person, open to new experiences, meeting new friends & trying new things, tasting new food et cetera. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to combine travelling with meeting new peeps, potentially new friends worldwide. I perceive this as a fantastic opportunity to meet someone and exchange our experiences while chatting or spending some time together.

Note that I’m more of an introverted person, but that doesn’t mean I cannot be sharing and talkative too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Regarding music, I’m mostly into electronic genres (drum n bass, techno, ambient and related), but I like to listen to old-school boom bap hip hop as well, neo soul, American 60s classics, indie rock, rnb, Czech contemporary local bands from Prague, Bratislava & Poland, and from time to time also calming folk and country.

I like going to a proper techno parties, sharing chill or joyful vibes with the dancing crowd around.

Regarding books, I like to read self-development literature, books about psychology & habits, a little bit of scientific books for broad public audience not that often. Interested in many fields, still searching for something new, feeding my curiosity.

When it comes to movies, I don’t watch anything at all. I can’t especially stand binge-watching, haha. The less I watch movies, the more I listen to music & devote my time to other things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Chased funds for and painted 9x6 metres high mural wall in the Capital of Bulgaria, Sofia, inspired by historical relations & cooperation of Czech Republic and Bulgaria as a cultural diplomacy commision.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Currently I’m travelling and I’m not able to share my living space with anyone, since my close friends live there (Prague central)
