PHILOSOPHY

"Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag."
Alexander Solzhenitsyn

"Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future." David Mitchell - Cloud Atlas

"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset."
Crowfoot, Blackfoot warrior and orator

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you juggling with "poi" http://lustislav.rajce.idnes.cz/HLUK_LUK_7.6.2008/#P6074417.JPG

or "firepoi" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvvndgOhyzg

...we can meet fine people, i can show you beautiful places in Brno and around... we can share my water-pipe, some food, tea... play some desk games, we can exchange ideas, enjoy the sun or go swimming, climb some mountain, see some old pagan place, or visit my friends living in real mediaeval castle near Bucovice.. but i am also open to all crazy ideas, such as to build a zeppelin and fly to Madagaskar

with my dear surfer - lovely Shvat - i realized that i really enjoy and appreciate learning how to prepare some traditional vegetarian food from your country or from some other culture
